As I stepped into Eko Cafe in Umalas, Bali, I was immediately enveloped by a wave of nostalgia. This charming little cafe, tucked away from the bustling tourist spots, felt like a warm embrace from my childhood. The ambiance was inviting, with a relaxed vibe that reminded me of family vacations and my mother’s comforting home-cooked meals. It was a hidden gem that I stumbled upon, and I couldn’t have been more grateful.

The menu boasted an array of delightful options, and I was particularly drawn to the acai bowl. It arrived thick and generous, a vibrant blend of flavors that danced on my palate. Each spoonful was a reminder of the simple joys of life, much like the fresh rolls that, while basic, were executed perfectly. The tom yum soup was a revelation, bursting with flavors that transported me straight to the heart of Thailand. It was a culinary journey that felt both familiar and exciting.

However, not every dish hit the mark. I encountered a smoothie bowl that was disappointingly watery and lacked the vibrant taste I had hoped for. It was disheartening to have to add bananas just to salvage it. I longed for the cafe to deliver the same quality across the board, as I could see the potential for greatness in their offerings. If only they could refine this aspect, I would have returned daily, eager to indulge in their creations.

Despite this hiccup, the overall experience was heartwarming. The service was attentive, and the staff genuinely seemed to care about their customers. One reviewer perfectly captured the essence of Eko Cafe: “Great vibes, hidden gem! The food was fresh and delicious, and it wasn’t flooded with tourists like other overrated cafes.” This sentiment resonated with me, as I savored my meal in a space that felt like the old Bali, untouched by the chaos of modern tourism.

As I reflected on my visit, I realized that Eko Cafe is more than just a place to eat; it’s a sanctuary for those seeking authentic flavors and a slice of nostalgia. The generous portion sizes and the freshness of the ingredients left a lasting impression on me. I left with a full heart and a promise to return, hoping to experience the magic of this cafe once more. Eko Cafe, with its blend of flavors and memories, truly touched my heart.

So, let me take you on a little culinary adventure to Eko Cafe Bali by Deli Campur Asia, located at Jl. Bumbak Dauh No. 89X, Kerobokan, Bali. Picture this: a cozy spot where the vibe is as chill as a sloth on a Sunday afternoon. I walked in, and it felt like I was stepping into a food lover’s paradise. Seriously, if heaven had a café, this would be it!

Now, let’s talk about the food. I decided to channel my inner brunch enthusiast and ordered the Classic French Toast, Savory Omelet, and the Greenie Bowl. I mean, who doesn’t want to feel fancy while stuffing their face, right? The French Toast was so fluffy that I half expected it to float away. I took a bite, and it was like a sweet hug from a cloud. I could practically hear angels singing in the background.

The Savory Omelet? Oh boy, it was packed with so many flavors that I thought I was on a culinary rollercoaster. I was like, “Hold on tight, taste buds! We’re in for a wild ride!” And the Greenie Bowl? Let’s just say it was so healthy that I felt like I was doing yoga with every spoonful. I could practically hear my body thanking me for the greens.

Now, I couldn’t help but chuckle at some of the reviews I read. One person raved about their tomato ramen, saying it was so fresh that even the noodles were doing a happy dance. I mean, who knew noodles could have such a good time? Another reviewer was all about the pull pork egg benedict, claiming it was “better than good.” I’m still trying to figure out what “better than good” means. Is there a secret level of deliciousness I’m missing out on?

But not everything was sunshine and rainbows. One poor soul had a smoothie bowl experience that was so watery it could have been a swimming pool. They had to add bananas just to make it edible! I mean, come on, how do you mess up a smoothie bowl? It’s like forgetting to put the icing on a cake. That’s a culinary crime right there!

Overall, Eko Cafe Bali is a gem. The food is fresh, the atmosphere is lively, and the staff are as friendly as a golden retriever at a dog park. Just make sure to steer clear of any watery smoothie bowls, unless you’re into that sort of thing. So, if you’re ever in Bali and looking for a place to brunch like a boss, Eko Cafe is where it’s at. Just remember to bring your appetite and maybe a life jacket for those smoothies!
