As I stepped into Umalas Brew Bar, nestled in the charming neighborhood of Kerobokan Kelod, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere of this quaint little café. The establishment, built from a traditional Balinese home, exudes a unique charm that reflects the local culture. The owner, Ari, has created not just a coffee shop, but a community hub where conversations flow as freely as the coffee.

The menu is simple yet delightful, featuring standout items like the flaky croissant and the rich Pain Au Chocolat, both perfectly paired with a steaming cup of coffee or a creamy latte. One visitor described it as “the cutest little hole in the wall café,” and I couldn’t agree more. The pastries looked absolutely mouthwatering, and I was eager to indulge.

Seating is limited, but the outdoor area is shaded and offers a lovely view of a nearby temple, adding to the café’s serene vibe. While some reviews mentioned that the service can be a bit slow, I found it to be part of the café’s charm. It’s a place to relax, sip your coffee, and soak in the ambiance rather than rush through your meal.

As I savored my flat white, I couldn’t help but notice the cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. One patron noted, “A hole in the wall with truly exceptional coffee and people,” and I wholeheartedly agree. The coffee here is nothing short of fantastic—some even claim it rivals the best brews found in Melbourne!

The prices are reasonable, ranging from Rp25,000 to Rp50,000 per person, making it an affordable stop for breakfast or a mid-morning treat.

So, let me take you on a little adventure to Umalas Brew Bar, a cozy little gem tucked away in the heart of Bali. Picture this: you stroll down Jl. Umalas Tunon, and suddenly, you’re hit with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee that practically drags you in like a magnet. Seriously, it’s like the coffee is saying, “Hey you! Yes, you! Come here and let’s be best friends!”

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Ari, the owner and barista, who has the kind of smile that could make even a grumpy cat crack a grin. This place is not just a café; it’s like stepping into someone’s living room—if that living room had a fountain that provided the perfect water ASMR. I half expected to see a cat lounging on the couch, sipping a latte.

Now, let’s talk about the menu. I decided to go for the classic combo: Croissant + Coffee. And let me tell you, this croissant was so flaky that I felt like I was in a pastry version of a snowstorm. I took a bite, and it was like a buttery hug for my taste buds. The coffee? Oh boy, it was so good that I almost proposed to it. I mean, who needs a soulmate when you have a cup of coffee that tastes like it was brewed by angels?

One of the reviews I read said, “Best coffee in the area! Must visit.” And honestly, I couldn’t agree more. It’s like the coffee here has a PhD in deliciousness. Another reviewer mentioned that the coffee reminded them of Melbourne, and I was like, “Well, Melbourne, you might have to step up your game because Umalas Brew Bar is coming for you!”

And let’s not forget about the atmosphere. It’s super chill, with plugs on the bar seats for all you workaholics out there. You can sip your coffee while pretending to be productive. I mean, who doesn’t love a good “I’m working” vibe while secretly scrolling through memes?

Oh, and if you’re into alternative milk options, they’ve got you covered! Oatside is the star of the show, and I’m pretty sure it could win an Oscar for Best Supporting Milk. I didn’t try the kombucha this time, but I could see the jars brewing behind the counter, and I felt like I was in a science lab for hipsters.

In conclusion, if you find yourself in Bali, do yourself a favor and swing by Umalas Brew Bar. Just make sure to arrive early because the coffee + croissant combo sells out faster than you can say “I need caffeine!” Trust me, your taste buds will thank you, and you might just leave with a new best friend in Ari. Cheers to coffee adventures!
