COCONUTS HOT SPOT — If you’re wanderlust (or just wandering and lost in Canggu like us), a new trendy joint is calling your spirit child name. Gypsy Bali is so hip it is starting to make the hipsters look uncool.
With a boldly simple and chic style, the open window set-up provides a breath of fresh air just like their food. While they serve a rich roast of coffee as well as avocado toast with eggs, they put a hint of sweet love into assembling their meals and drinks. A nutty citrus crunch adds to that avocado and mason jars filled with layered iced coffee top off the meal.
If that isn’t award worthy just yet, we’d like to give a gold medal to the barista artists who design cappuccino foam. If only the piece of work could be framed forever.
The chilled vibe, and refreshingly beautiful meals, might just convince you to hang around all day. If you choose to stay for lunch or come back for dinner your tastebuds are in for a special treat.
The menu offers diners a fusion of flavors and cuisines from Italian pasta carbonara (Rp 75k) to a Vietnamese sandwich (Rp 75k) and even Japanese sushi cones for an appetizer (Rp 50k). For those of you who can never decide what you’re in the mood for, Gypsy is the ideal place for you free-spirited hippies.
While the food is prepared near to perfection, the quality does not necessarily always match the quantity. We know it’s cool and all to have pretty plates and bowls, but sometimes bigger is not always better. Seriously, why serve a fillet of fish in a bowl that is five times the size? It leaves us hungry just looking at it, especially after the workout of trying to fish out the food as if it were a giant fishbowl.
Thank goodness that the staff were so friendly because we nearly forgot about that by the time we paid. At least they’re keeping it real. We might even go back for this Sunday for their boozy brunch special. That way we can see all the other “Tipsy Gypsies.”
Coconuts Hot Spots are notable new restaurants or undiscovered gems around Bali that we think are worth a visit.
