BAKED. Pererenan

Balcony Mornings on Jl. Pantai Pererenan

Perched along Jl. Pantai Pererenan No.118, BAKED. Pererenan draws a steady breakfast crowd to its outdoor balcony and open, street-facing seats. Several visitors describe starting the day here with eggs on warm sourdough and coffee while watching the road life in this corner of Mengwi, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80351.

The setting feels casual and social, with a “nice and cool outdoor breakfast” vibe (Google 2024). Power points outside make it a handy stop if you’re working on a laptop as well as eating.

Eggs, Hash Browns and Morning Plates

Egg breakfasts are a recurring theme: scrambled eggs on sourdough, add-on sausages “that taste good” and mushrooms or tomatoes on toast appear often in reviews. Portions of tomatoes on sourdough with ricotta, or mushrooms with sauce and added eggs, are called “really yummy”, with mushrooms the standout for one guest.

Not everyone clicks with the style of eggs. Multiple reviewers found the scramble extremely runny, “like soup” or more like porridge when served in a bowl, which didn’t match their expectations. Menu changes also get mentioned, with one regular disappointed that their favourite dish disappeared and that some plates now arrive looking different from the description.

Pastry Favourites and Soft-Serve Letdown

On the sweet side, BAKED. has a following for its pastries. An almond croissant is singled out as the best one a guest had tried “in and around Bali”, and others mention pistachio croissants and egg tarts as standouts since the early days of the Bali operation.

Soft serve ice cream is a sore spot for at least one recent visitor, who felt the texture had changed to something “super fluid” and far from the ice cream they used to love, dropping their rating to 1/5 and vowing not to return for it.

Coffee, Chai and Fresh Juices

Coffee loyalty runs deep here. One regular talks about an iced oat milk latte being their “daily little rescue”, praising baristas by name for getting the balance right every time. Others back up that impression, calling the coffee “good”, with a chai latte alternative that’s “also delicious.”

Fresh orange juice wins its own fan club: one guest loved that it seemed to be made from local green-skin mandarin oranges, calling it clean and citrusy. Another visitor, however, didn’t enjoy their coffee at all, so expectations differ.

Balcony Atmosphere and Roadside Trade-Offs

Atmosphere gets strong marks. People praise the “lovely outdoor balcony and seating area” and like coming just for a coffee and a bun or a small breakfast. A reviewer notes the café is crowded even on weekdays, so it’s clearly a popular stop.

There are trade-offs with the open layout. One diner felt the café area isn’t really separated from the busy road, worrying that dust might land on the food, and they didn’t spot a restroom during their visit. Another family of four struggled with tables they found too small for a comfortable meal.

Service, Consistency and Who It Suits

Staff regularly get described as kind, hospitable and keen to explain the menu or give recommendations. That warmth seems to keep regulars coming back even when they’re unhappy about recipe or menu changes.

BAKED. Pererenan suits travellers and locals who prioritise a relaxed balcony setting, friendly baristas and strong pastries and coffee, and who don’t mind roadside bustle or the particular, very runny style of scrambled eggs.
