Wish I had come here my first night

This place is a lovely little gem. Their mission is beautiful, so you can feel GREAT about eating here without compromising on taste. Food was great. Staff is all hearing impaired and yet things flow in a lovely, organic manner. Do yourself a favor and come here.

Pros: Great food, Great vibe - staff are very attentive, Beautiful concept

Non-for-profit cafe with heart

Anyone who cares for humanity, will love this place. Profits go to supporting differently-abled people to have wheelchairs. Indian Dahl (curried lentils) & garlic naan was delish. Vegetable pakora equally so. Funky decor. Please point to the boxes on the menu, so beautiful staff who live without sound & words can understand you. Enjoy.

Pros: Indian Curried Lentils (Dahl), Vegetable Pakora, Smiles from Staff

Love the course

Great little place for dinner. Love the course they are promoting too. Defo worth a stop if in Lovina. We had the curry and it wasn't too bad.

Wholesome restaurant

Lovely staff, lots of vegan options. Tempeh satay was great, the tikka masala didn’t quite hit the spot. Non for profit organisation and has lots of information on what they do which was nice to support.

Non Profit & very friendly

Staff can be deaf &/| mute but the menu is in squares so you just point at what you want.
Our special wishes (like no cheese | no egg) did we write on the phone and showed them

Pros: Great non profit concept, Extremely friendly, Very cheap nonetheless

Great concept, okish food

The people in this restaurant are so nice and make you feel welcome even if you have not a single clue about sign language. The menu offers some vegan options, I'm pretty sure everyone can find something they like. I decided to go for the tempeh satay with peanut sauce. The peanut sauce was ok but could definitely be better. Unfortunately they don't offer it as a dip, it was all over my tempeh. The tempeh was a bit too soft. It comes with rice on the side. The portion is big enough and prices are cheap.

A Lovina gem!

Great place and very cheap vegetarian meals to veganize. The only thing you need to do is have a strategy to explain 'no eggs' and 'no milk/ butter' to the deaf staff. My advice is to make a note on your phone in indonesian and point, worked great for me. After your meal tip well, because all money goes to charity.

Pros: Some vegan by ingredients dishes , Really cheap, Charity

Coole Initiative

Café mit taubstummen Mitarbeitenden, einem kleinen Shop und eigenem Kaffee.
Vegetarisches Essen ist in der Speisekarte markiert, veganes leider nicht. Da muss man nachfragen.
Ich habe Avocado-Saft bestellt und war überrascht, dass dort Schoko-Sauce (nicht vegan?) drin ist. Also lieber noch ein immer nachfragen.
Unsere Säfte waren lecker und die frittierten Snacks auch.

Pros: Hilfsprojekt, Alternatives Flair mit Sprüchen, Bildern , Preis-leistungs-Verhältnis

Cons: Keine Eindeutigkeit, was vegan ist

Nettes Café, Essen fad

Wir waren zum Dinner dort. Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Service. Das Essen war nicht gut. Die Pommes und die Bruschetta waren zwar sehr lecker, alles andere war leider total geschmacklos und hat fast gleich geschmeckt. Wir hatten das Gado-Gado, Pakhora, Frühlingsrollen und gefüllten Tofu. Die Rollen waren überhaupt nicht knusprig, sondern weich und labberig. Tofu und Tempeh beim Gado Gado waren frittiert und sehr wässrig. Pakhora haben wie frittiertes Suppengrün geschmeckt.... schade.

Ansonsten tolle Idee der Gemeinnützigkeit. Für einen Kaffee kann man definitiv vorbei schauen, leider gibt es keine Sojamilch.

Beautiful charity restaurant

The restaurant and the staff is really lovely! The atmosphere of the location is just great! You feel as if you would sit in the middle of a jungle😄. Furthermore, it's a charity restaurant, which donates their profits for a good cause. However, we have to say that we didn't like the food that much (Gado-Gado and Masala Curry) - it had no real flavour unfortunately. So, we probably wouldn't come again to eat there but for sure, we're going to grab some drinks or coffee there! :)

Good

Ordered the samosa, dahl, and burrito (which weirdly didn‘t come in a wrap). It was ok but nothing special.

Pros: Vegan options, Nice place, Price

Lots of veggie & vegan options, chill lovely atmosphere & tasty food - very reasonably priced! Has lots of items to buy too, bought some reusable metal straws here. It’s part of an amazing non-profit organisation - all the money goes to a fantastic cause ❤️

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great price , Great cause

Disappointed

Nice place but the food was nothing special and not very tasty! Although we said we were vegan and explained we do not eat eggs and mayonnaise they brought one of the dishes with one boiled egg! They have to improve

Pros: Nice place

They are a non profit organisation, which helps the people who need it. For example wheel chairs for old people or other things for disabled children. We had a talk with a staff member about there vision. You get a good feeling here. Thank you Batu

Pros: Low prices, Good staff, Good for the world

Cons: None

My favourite place

This is my favourite cafe, not only in lovina, but in all of Bali. The food is great (with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options) the staff super nice, the coffee is awesome, and the place itself is really cute. On top of all that, the profits go towards helping rural communities in Bali, and the prices are still very reasonable (8000rph for a coffee!). It would be hard to find a better place to spend time at while in Lovina. Should be 5 stars.

Eat here for a good cause

This is my favourite place in Lovina. I loved the atmosphere here, it's kind of a big place with a garden area and a restaurant. It's also a shop where you can buy things from souvenirs to beauty products or incense. All or part of the profits go to help disadvantaged people in the area (you can see the photos of their projects on the walls). The staff is friendly and prices are ok. The quality of food is also OK, not outstanding but it's worth going for the atmosphere and for helping their cause. A shame they don't have any plant-based milk. Their coffee is great though (they have a professional espresso machine :-)

Pros: Non profit project, Great and relaxed atmosphere, Good coffee

Cons: No plant based milks :-(

Amazing Options

This is a not for profit organisation which helps locals have access to clean water and schooling. All the staff are very friendly and there is a separate vegetarian menu , from which most items are vegan. Very tasty food!

Hidden gem!

A few minutes walk from Lovina Beach and nestled behind a garden - this place was a lovely find! The menu is extensive! I had the Egyptian bowl of macaroni, rice and chickpeas and it was so comforting and filling! Boyfriend had a burrito which was good and jam packed. It was just nice to find non-Indonesian food that wasn’t just the standard pizza/burger fare. The staff are lovely as is the setting.

Pros: varied menu , also sell handicrafts for charity, non-profit
