There are places where you simply know that quality and the desire to serve better and do things right are present, and this is one of them.
I arrived by chance to have a coffee and ended up returning day after day to eat breakfast and drink more coffee. Everything in this place is made with love, and it is one of those places where you feel cared for, protected, and pampered. Everything they cook has a very special and tasty touch.
I even talked to the owner, who invited me to see how they roast the coffee. She explained and showed me how they carefully separate the coffee beans they receive, and then they roast them in an oven that was handmade by the owner's father.

Ofcourse, the coffee was good and so was the breakfast I had one morning. On one occasion, I did have a chance to speak with the owner of the cafe and we enjoyed a pleasant conversation. Before I left Toraja I made sure to bring back a couple of bags of coffee beans from...
Read moreLovely cafe / restaurant! Vegan / vegetarian food and drink: Smoothie bowl Avocado toast Nasi noreng veggie (with tofu &Tempe) Coffee with oat milk Toast with Jam
We are vegan and we came here everyday for breakfasts and lunches. In the menu there isn't vegan options but they can create delicious vegan dishes. The new smoothie bowl with oat milk is amazing! (better than most smoothie bowls we had in Bali). The menu has "avocado and egg sandwich", we ordered it without the egg and we got a very delicious avocado toast. The menu has "toast is butter and jam". You can ask for toast with just jam. And it tastes fresh and delicious! Coffee with oat milk is available and the coffee is so good! You can also order dishes like Nasi goreng without the egg. And they were even able to add some yummy tofu and tempeh.
The cafe has an inside area and beautiful garden area to sit.
The staff are so kind and welcoming. We miss the cafe already!
We also bought a bag of coffee from the cafe to take...
