It was without a doubt the best smoothie bowl of my life, and I have tried many across the globe.

Creamy avocado generously spread over the cracker created a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

Their assortment of raw desserts, crafted with wholesome ingredients and natural sweetness, were a guilt-free indulgence. From luscious chocolate avocado mousse to heavenly coconut cream pie, each dessert was a delectable masterpiece.

This is the spot for clean nourishing meals! I’m plant based and I like to eat really clean. My stomach and body is quite sensitive to the cleanliness and energy of food and I get instant reactions if the food doesn’t have good ingredients or if something is going on energetically with cook/space the food it prepared in. I also get queasy quite a bit and need simple plain foods or I can’t eat so it can be difficult to eat out without getting a bit sick. Joyously raw is one of my go spots! my stomach always feels good after a meal here, it generally tastes quite fresh and clean, and nourishing.

I’m genuinely addicted to their potato soup. It’s very unique in texture and flavor and I’d be fascinated to know how they make it, but I cannot not get enough of it. It’s the most comforting soup I’ve ever had. I could eat it every day and not get sick of it. That and their raw brownie called delight are my two favorite dishes. Raw food is not easy to do well, and I will say my eyes genuinely lit up the first time I ate the delight. Which rarely happens as I’m extremely picky and have very high standards for food.

My favorite drink I recommend is their surrender. It’s an immune boosting one so it has raw garlic in it, maybe not for everyone, but it’s well balanced with the fruit and I cannot get enough.

There’s a lot of semi raw vegan spots that are famous and popular in Ubud and I’m surprised more people don’t know about this one as quite frankly there’s some stuff they just do better.

As for the venue you can tell a lot of care and creativity was put into the place. The main restaurant area gets a bit too hot for my taste but on the upper level they have the cutest garden area with day beds you can lounge and eat on. It’s cute as hell!

Also the staff is also super lovely and friendly and I always enjoy seeing them. It’s a very cozy spot and I hope they are able to expand their menu and following.
