Prior Cafe Review: A Chill Spot in Seminyak with Mixed Food Experiences

Prior Cafe, Seminyak

Tegar

Hey foodies! If you’re wandering around Kuta Utara and looking for a spot to grab a bite, let me tell you about Prior Cafe on Jl. Petitenget No 105. This place has a chill vibe that’s perfect for brunch or just hanging out with friends. The atmosphere is definitely a highlight, with both indoor AC and outdoor seating options. Seriously, it’s a great place to relax!

Now, let’s talk about the food. I’ve seen mixed reviews, and honestly, I can see why. Some folks were raving about their brunch, especially the smoked tuna aglio e olio, which they said had a perfect balance of flavors. But then again, others were super disappointed with their acai bowl, calling it watery and lacking in fruit. Yikes! It seems like the quality can be hit or miss.

One reviewer mentioned that their coffee was “super light and weak,” which is a bummer if you’re a coffee lover. They suggested checking out places like Pison or Revolver for the real coffee experience in Bali. But hey, if you’re not too picky, you might still enjoy their cappuccino, which some people found to be pretty good.

On the bright side, if you’re in the mood for something sweet, the ricotta pancakes seem to be a must-try! One visitor said they were the perfect end to their meal, with just the right amount of sweetness and a nice touch of strawberries. Sounds delicious, right?

Overall, Prior Cafe has a lot of potential with its great atmosphere and friendly service, but the food quality seems to vary. If you decide to check it out, maybe stick to the ricotta pancakes and enjoy the vibe. Just be prepared for some inconsistencies in the menu!

Happy eating!

One of my go-to breakfast spots, Prior Cafe never disappoints. The food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and the air conditioning is a welcome relief from the tropical heat.

The cafe is beautifully decorated, with natural sunlight streaming in, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for a relaxing breakfast.

The Prior breakfast is a feast for those who crave variety. The avocado mushroom toast is a delightful surprise, offering a unique twist that is both satisfying and flavorful. The poached eggs are executed flawlessly, with yolks that are a beautiful orange and slightly runny. Even the ricotta pancakes, which may not look appealing at first glance, are a hidden gem of flavor. The takeaway packaging is not only pretty but also environmentally friendly, reflecting the cafe’s commitment to sustainability.

While the food may take a little while to arrive, the experience is well worth the wait. The staff is friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home.
