Nice cafe with good coffee, great place to chill and people-watch. I had a couple of coffees and a smashed avo - the food was prepared with care and integrity, but little details could be improved upon: the smashed avo was a bit too runny, the bread sliced a tad too thin (turns soggy rather quickly), and the eggs were poached a tad too long. If I were to guess, I’d think that the cooks were preparing the food by instruction and not experience.
I am definitely nitpicking, but since the manager of this joint seems to read these comments, I thought it might be helpful to provide some feedback.
The service here, on the other hand, was perfect - Sintya was the hostess on that day, and she was exceptionally warm and helpful. She looked after my belongings as I went to the washroom, we had little chats about our lives etc. She has a knack of making her guests feel comfortable. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your hospitality.
Overall, lovely cafe for homesick Australians - I will be back whenever I am...

But over 5 breakfasts I can say that the food is really good. Especially their nasi goreng. Yes, you can get it anywhere but theirs was particularly delicious. Indonesian dishes were very good. Pancakes with Nutella were better than the banana pancakes. Vegan breakfast was varied, healthy and better than expected. Big breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage was well cooked. Balinese eggs Benedict was a great idea and well made, just needed some more spicy sauce which they supplied. The staff was very friendly, also with my baby. They didn’t mind that we had some health-related dietary requirements.
Make sure to ask which fruit juices are fresh that day. And the flat white is not so...
Read moreThe restaurant is tidy and the staff are extremely friendly. We bought our kids here so they could use the Kids club/playground while we tried to get some peace and quiet. There’s no charge if you spend over their minimum for the kids to use the playground which is indoor and air conditioned with staff. The two girls in the kids club were friendly, but they didn’t go out of their way to entertain our kids until we paid for an activity. They’re there just to supervise. The two tiny turtles at the front desk are kept in horrendous conditions - just no. Get them a real tank with enrichment or put them back where they came from! Coffee Club drinks were tasty and delicious - the food...
