Discover Uluwatu's queuing king, Suka Espresso! This bustling surf-vibe hotspot is famous for its massive breakfasts and lively social atmosphere. While the Wagyu Burger can be hit-or-miss, the Fish Taco is a must-try, hailed as one of the best around. Don't miss the 25k Taco Night on Saturdays for a delicious bargain. Be prepared to wait in line for a taste of this top-rated cafe, but the vibrant energy and standout dishes make it worthwhile.
Mornings in Uluwatu are either spent surfing or on the way to queue at Suka... Seriously, every time I pass by, it's packed with people. Today, I finally bit the bullet and woke up early to check it out, to see what this top-rated spot with nearly 7000 Google reviews is really like.
Stepping into the"Social Hub"
How to describe the vibe? It's that typical Aussie surf community vibe, super lively and full of energy. Do you want to quietly read a book and drink coffee? Basically impossible, this place is for friends to Nongkrong and chat. In the evenings, there's often live music[1], the atmosphere is completely hyped up, very chill.
The food is truly mantap! The breakfast portions are astonishingly large; one meal will directly save you lunch[2]. I ordered the Chili Scramble with sourdough bread[3], the flavor was rich, waking up my taste buds for the day. My friend's Fish Taco[4] was even the best of the whole place; the skin was crispy, the fish fresh, and the sauce perfectly seasoned, so delicious I'd want to come back just for it! If you're a burger lover, the Fish Burger[5] definitely won't disappoint you either. Oh right, friends with gluten allergies, pay attention: their gluten-free bread[6] has been raved about, said to be"the best GF bread I've ever had in my life," a must-try!
Let's talk some unpleasant truths...
Well, you can't just praise and not criticize. Their Wagyu Burger[7], recommended by the waiter, has a rather interesting reputation. Some say it's juicy and delicious, but what my friend got last time was... anjay... the patty was dry and tough, felt like the chef's performance was inconsistent. Also, I previously saw online that some people felt unwell after eating raw food[8], so when ordering dishes like Tuna Tartare, weigh your options carefully.
