As I stepped into Torst Coffee, nestled in the serene area of Tumbak Bayuh, Pererenan, Bali, I was immediately captivated by the breathtaking views of the surrounding rice fields. The lush greenery swayed gently in the breeze, creating a picturesque backdrop that felt like a scene from a postcard. This hidden gem is not just a coffee shop; it’s a culinary experience that immerses you in the local culture.

The atmosphere here is incredibly inviting. With friendly staff who greet you with warm smiles, it feels like you’re visiting a friend’s home rather than a typical café. The seating arrangements, including cozy grass mats, add an authentic touch that enhances the overall experience. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the tranquil vibes of Bali.

Now, let’s talk about the menu. I decided to try their Hot Cappuccino and Hot Latte, both of which were exceptional. The coffee here is renowned for its rich flavor and smooth texture, making it a delightful way to start your day. One visitor mentioned, “Exceptional espresso! Cute little dog running around. Unexpectedly pretty view out the back too.” This perfectly encapsulates the charm of Torst Coffee.

For breakfast, I couldn’t resist the Eggs Benny, which came beautifully plated with mushrooms and cherry tomatoes on the side. The flavors were delightful, and I could see why one reviewer exclaimed, “The food is excellent, with options like beef instead of bacon to cater to different preferences.” It’s clear that the menu is thoughtfully curated to cater to various tastes.

However, it’s worth noting that some visitors have pointed out the pricing. One couple remarked, “A nice setting in the rice fields, but $5 a coffee is a little pricy, when all coffee shops around are $2.50-$3 and just as good!” While the prices may be slightly higher than nearby cafés, the unique ambiance and quality of food and service make it a worthwhile splurge.

Overall, Torst Coffee is a must-visit for anyone looking to dive deeper into Bali’s culinary culture. With its stunning views, delicious food, and friendly service, it’s a place where you can relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or just looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy brunch, this café has something special to offer. Don’t miss out on this delightful experience!
