Pia Saronde
Inside Pia Saronde
Pia Saronde is a local bakery and souvenir shop situated on Jl. Sultan Botutihe, right in the heart of Gorontalo city. Its main draw is the traditional Gorontalo pastry called pia, especially the Kue Karawo and distinctive Pia Kacang Ijo Pandan that highlight local flavors. Visitors often come here to pick up these snacks as gifts — the pastries themselves are modestly sized but pack a satisfying crispness and a delicate balance between flaky crust and rich fillings like chocolate and cheese.
The shop’s atmosphere leans toward practical rather than leisurely; this is a spot where locals and travelers alike drop in for takeaway rather than lingering over a table. While there isn’t a dine-in menu available, the friendly service and competitive prices make it easy to quickly gather a variety of Gorontalo treats, including other local snacks like fish chili sauce and chips. The range here is notably comprehensive compared to other shops in town, so it’s a common stop for those wanting a one-stop shop for regional specialties.
Because the setting is mainly a bakery with souvenir items, it works best for afternoon or early evening visits when people typically shop for gifts or snacks to bring home. The size and bite-friendly nature of the Pia Saronde pastries also make them well suited for smaller appetites or as a shared treat among family and friends. This place is ideal if you want a straightforward, flavorful taste of Gorontalo’s culinary heritage in pastry form without the fuss of a sit-down experience.
