Kafe is located on Hanoman Street and is a very popular meeting point for visitors as well as expats. Also, sister café of The Garden Kafe of The Yoga Barn. Every day from 8 till 11 they serve healthy food with vegan and vegetarian options.
They are big on environment: they encourage people to use less plastic bags and sell items made out of recycled material at their very own shop called Kafe Kares along with organic food, Kafe mugs and health products. Certain percentage of Kafe Kares’ profit goes to charity across Indonesia. Even the furniture here and fittings made from recycled wood! These people are dead serious when it comes to environment: they even have their Kafe Environmental Policy.
This lively café, just like many others, has Wi-Fi although it is available all day on the second floor and only until 5pm downstairs.
Back to food business Peoples. I have had many meals at Kafe but this is my favourite:
Tempeh Cashew Nut Curry (as seen below). It comes with red rice and the price is 41.000 RP.
Kafe delivers too! Their kafe-delivery-menu can be found here.

Down to Earth Café is one of the famous cafes in Ubud. It has a feeling of expansion over the years as there is a health shop downstairs, an ice cream and desert shop next to the health shop. Right after those, another shop where they sell bags, clothes and gifts. The restaurant itself is upstairs. Balcony is particularly nice especially if you have your mosquito repellent on.
Here’s what I had:
Seitan Kebab 75 000 Rp
Moroccan style seitan, baked on a skewer, served with crunchy salad with seeds, baked pumpkin with rosemary. It was supposed to be served with either brown rice or potato fries but I had some mushrooms, tomatoes and cucumber instead. You never get what’s written on the menu here. I must admit, seitan was dry and quite poor in taste department, too.

I loved Soma Kafe so much the first time, I had to go back there again. It’s not just great food with lots of vegan and vegetarian options that makes me want to go back but also the atmosphere. They have beanbag cushions on the floor. You sit there, do some work on your computer (connection is good) and talk to the owner, Johnny, who is incredibly friendly. Yesterday, for example, I asked where I could buy the same plates and bowls and he immediately drew me a map and introduced me to his daughter (she designs them and an Aussie guy makes them).
This is Soma’s courtyard and those green thingies on the floor are young coconuts.
OK Peoples, here’s what we had yesterday:
Tower of Power 47 Rp
Stack of grilled jicama, mashed purple sweet potatoes, grilled pineapple, ginger mashed pumpkin topped with grilled onion and served with local greens with sprinkled sesame seeds on top.
Ruby Moon 52 Rp
Sweet potato beetroot mash with steamed greens, grilled tempeh, shitake mushrooms and cashew cheese.
Mango Madness 33 Rp
Luscious mango with coconut milk, cinnamon, cardamom, clove and nutmeg.
Carrot Pumpkin Cake 27 Rp
Milled heirloom rice flour, raisins and vanilla coconut cream. This beauty is gluten free.
Atman Kafe is located on Hanoman Street and is always busy. The décor is very earthy and their food is incredible. The name Atman means the innermost essence of each individual to the Supreme Universal Self. In Layman terms, the little voice or knowing within your heart that guides you and if you follow its wisdom it will guide you far better than your mind ever will.
I must admit, here at Atman Kafe, I have had the most interesting dish of my life here. The one with jackfruit (below). Here, I have a copy of Atman Take Away and Delivery Menu for you.
