Looks healthier than it is

Seemingly a pretty nice place if you’re into healthy choices. However they deep fry many things and use sugar in several dishes like the corn ribs, calamari, vegan fish, jackfruit steak, sushi and pancakes/waffles, so at a closer look it’s not as great. Had a Kyoto mojo salad which was good, but too small size wise. Also a little disappointing that when it said “pomelo” and “pumpkin” you just got a few pieces. Also they had forgotten a few ingredients, like the pumpkin seeds and dressing. No desserts without some kind of processed sugar. Food was also very pricey.

On the plus side it’s a nice venue (though crowded) and they make their almond milk themselves which is lovely in their mushroom latte (which I came for almost every day).

To sum up: for healthy food there are better places very close by, but even though I don’t feel good on their food I still like the intention of the place ☺️ (Especially that they lift local produce and companies! 🫶)

Pros: Adaptogen mushroom latte , Kind staff, Great background story

Cons: Sugar in so many things , No whole food options , Pricey

Incredible food in the loveliest setting

The food was absolutely delicious - huge menu, with huge variety - everything we had was so tastey (would especially recommend the tempura onion sushi!!). Would love to come back and try more - just so tasty! Plus, the location is glorious / amazing views and delightful staff!

Cozy place with delicious food

We had two very good sushi’s, two mains, and a side. They helped us with a second table which was very helpful .
Staff is very kind and the food was just amazing.
Definitely highly recommended!

Got food poisoning

I really wished that I had read the google reviews before going to what I thought was a higher end meal here in Ubud. There are so many others who have gotten food poisoning from here. I hate to write a bad review but I just want to warn any potential customers. Go anywhere else there are so many great options!

A bit overrated

It’s a beautiful spot but the food was a bit bland. It’s very busy due to it being ‘instagrammable’ but we were pretty underwhelmed. It’s a health food restaurant so I probably should’ve managed my expectations for flavour.

Pros: Nice decor and setting

Cons: Bland food, Busy with people taking photos, Pricey

A bit pricier, but delicious and beautiful

Really good food (cheese platter!!), fantastic location, super friendly. A bit pricier for Bali standards, but we’ll worth it.

Delight for palate & eyes

Enjoyed the most delicious vegan meals & drinks in a magnificent open & lush restaurant - vibrant and cozy at the same time. Delicately flavoured & arranged with much detail. Kept going back for my tastebuds to explore the menu! Well worth it!

Pros: Amazing variety of flavours - food & drinks, vibrant atmosphere & beautiful interior, friendly staff

Cons: Might need a reservation in the evening, Can be loud during peak-time

The cool factor

Zest feels like a place to be seen if that's your thing, but the food was pretty good too. The teriyaki banana blossom burger was yummy (although the mayo is made with coconut which I didn't like too much), the mushroom ribs were sticky and sweet, and the banana flour gluten free pizza crust was tasty although on the small side compared to other pizza places in town. Zest has some great ice cream and dessert options too.

Fantastic

Everything was fantastic. We ordered a bunch of things and split all. We could have skipped the Pizza. It was average at best. But all other food, drinks, ambiance and the music was awesome

Great Food and Atmosphere

The atmosphere here is really chilled, and the food menu is all vegan and extremely extensive!

On the pricier side, and we waited quite a while for food, but was not a problem as we were happy to escape the blistering sun for a few hours!

my all time favourite vegan place

I found this place by accident and came back a lot of times. I loved all the dishes I ordered and especially the mango passion bowl! Good for working remotely and a nice place to relax, take a nap etc.

Really nice service staff, My fav cafe in all of bali!

Pros: view, selection , atmosphere

Good views but food is overhyped

Not the best food and the portions are extremely small compared to the price. It is a big cafe tho so working there is very peaceful and the views are very big. Tbh i‘d probably rather go there for lunch/dinner then breakfast. My pancakes were nice but my friends waffels were kinda dry

Pros: Amazing views, Nice looking restaurant

Cons: Small portions, Expensive , Not the best food

Worst Vegan Food In Ubud

You pay for the view, NOT the food!

The food is poor—at best.

Bog-standard white bread for toast that tastes like stale carpet.

Cremated over fried potato wedges and hash browns that could crack a gold tooth.

Foreskin bacon.

A random onion ring on a breakfast?!

Yellow mash?!

Need I say more?

The menu is a joke, and potions are tiny.

But the view’s nice if you don't sit under the thunder of the extractor fan at the end of the restaurant.
