Water Castle Cafe — Restaurant in Yogyakarta

Perfect spot to visit before or after your trip to Taman Sari Water Castle. I’ve been here a few times, usually to catch up with old friends who happened to be in Jogja at the same time.

It’s honestly impossible not to fall in love with their juice and the place itself. I don’t know how they do it, but nothing tops the freshness of their juice. It felt like I was absorbing every nutrient in one sip. Call me intense, but that’s just the truth

We also tried the gado-gado (super yum 🤤) plus fruit platters and a few other things from the menu. What started as a one-hour catch-up turned into a full-on brunch and snack session that lasted nearly three hours 😂

The owners are super friendly, and the place has so much character. There are tons of art pieces hanging on the wooden walls, and even the bathroom is a work of art. I didn’t get a photo (it’s been a while since I last went), but now I kind of miss it just writing...

Water Castle Cafe is the perfect hole-in-the-wall cafe if you’re looking for delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere. The cafe is situated on the edge of a maze of local houses, so it’s the perfect place to be if you want to explore after enjoying a meal. The cafe seats around 12 so it’s not overly crowded.

The prices are mid ranged but the food is most certainly worth it. I had the Mie Kuah Vegetables while my partner had the Nasi Campur.

Mie Kuah comprised of: broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, star fruit, noodles and onion swimming in a fragrant vegetable broth. It packed tonnes of flavour and little spice. Nasi Campur contained similar vegetables but was quite spicy - be warned if you can’t...

Love the foods and drinks. For the food I ordered Mie Goreng Campur. It's very unique because the fried noodle mixed vegetables and with fruits. Weird? NO! It's delicious. The owner always chooses the best and fresh fruits. About the drink I ordered Mango Lassy. No sugar added. The sweetness is from the fruit mixed with yogurt. So yummy and creamy. All balance. Love love love. Very recommended! Especially the owner is very kind and very friendly. 😍 the atmosphere of Watercastle cafe is so artistic and simple but very enjoyable. Definitely will always back everytime I go to Yogyakarta....
