Ponda-C Coffee Review: A Cozy Coffee Haven in Sidakarya

Ponda-C Coffee, Sidakarya, Jl. Bedugul No. 40

Indra

So, let me take you on a little adventure to this cozy spot called Kopi, Churros, Toast (Ponda-C Coffee) located at Jl. Bedugul No. 40, Sidakarya, Denpasar. First off, if you’re looking for a place to sip on some coffee while pretending to work (or actually working, who am I to judge?), this is the place! The ambiance is so calm that even the coffee beans seem to be meditating.

Now, let’s talk about the menu. I dove right into their cappuccino, which was so good it made me question all my life choices leading up to that moment. I mean, why did I ever settle for instant coffee? The barista was super friendly, probably because they knew they were serving liquid happiness. And speaking of happiness, I also tried the Rice Bowl Ayam Teriyaki. It was like a flavor explosion in my mouth! I half expected fireworks to go off. Seriously, if you’re not careful, you might just end up doing a happy dance right there in the café.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the Ponda-C Tea. It’s like a warm hug in a cup. I could feel my stress melting away with every sip. I could practically hear my worries saying, “Bye-bye, we’re off to find someone else to bother!”

Now, I did overhear some interesting conversations while I was there. One guy was raving about the Taro drink, saying it was “great.” I mean, if a drink can make you feel that way, it’s basically a therapist in a cup. And then there was this one customer who had a bit of a sofa dilemma. Apparently, the staff suggested she shouldn’t sit on the sofa alone because it might make other guests jealous. I mean, come on! If I’m paying for my coffee, I should be able to lounge like a queen on that sofa, right? Maybe they should just put up a sign: “Sofas are for everyone, even solo adventurers!”

Overall, the food was a solid 5.0/5.0, the service was a bit of a mixed bag at 3.7/5.0 (but hey, nobody’s perfect), and the atmosphere was a dreamy 5.0/5.0. Prices are super friendly too, ranging from Rp25,000-50,000 per person. So, if you’re in the area and looking for a place to chill, grab a coffee, and maybe even a churro (which, by the way, was delicious), Ponda-C Coffee is definitely worth a visit. Just remember, if you’re alone, maybe avoid the sofa unless you want to start a jealousy war!

As one visitor noted, “the cappuccino is fantastic,” and I couldn’t agree more!
