Healthyubud

Tucked Away in Penestanan

On Jl. Banjar Penestanan Kaja No.52, a little away from Ubud’s main drag, Healthyubud draws people down its narrow lane from 08h00 to 21h00. Reviewers describe it as easy to find yet calmer than central Ubud, a place where you come to eat well, then drift back into your day.

Several guests say they return every time they’re in Bali, treating it less like a café and more like a ritual stop for “clean eating” and gut‑friendly food.

Plant‑Based Stars: Kebab, Uburrito, Sushi

The headline act is clear: a huge Berlin‑style vegan kebab, often called “addictive” and “like a real kebab” despite being 100% plant‑based (Google 2024). People praise its crunch, spice and sheer size, though one guest found it a bit dry and wanted more sauce.

Right behind it come the Uburrito and burrito–sushi combos, repeatedly recommended as must‑tries. Vegan sushi rolls, keto and vegan bowls, and the Golden Oats with saffron turmeric “milk”, caramelised banana, homemade granola and tamarind–passionfruit–ginger dressing all get singled out for bold, surprising flavours.

Bowls, Juices and “Clean” Ingredients

Healthyubud leans into vegan, keto and gluten‑free friendly dishes, with several reviewers calling it one of the best vegan options in the area. Acai bowls are described as the best in Bali by some regulars, and the celery juice – “10% herbal celery and 90% celery” – is noted as “next level” (Google 2024).

Protein smoothies, juices and “healthy shots” earn praise, though at least one visitor really disliked a bitter green protein drink and rated it poorly, suggesting the drinks menu won’t suit every palate.

Space, Seating and Vibes

This is a small, mostly open café with stools, fans and a clean restroom; some newer seating is in a bigger corner space but comes with more street noise. Several diners love the relaxed, non‑“sceney” feel and say the place stays super clean and lets you watch your food being made.

Trade‑offs do show up: stools can be uncomfortable for lingering, digital nomads may find it less ideal for long work sessions, and a few guests mention flies, as in many open spaces in Bali.

Location Quirks and House Rules

Being on the edge of a local resting area means that nearby smoking occasionally puts people off dining in, even if they rave about the acai bowls and kebab. One reviewer also disliked being charged 5k for takeaway bottle and box, calling it petty, while others appreciate the generous in‑house portions and free mineral water.

You order at the counter, clear your own dishes, and the team – including a hands‑on owner – is widely described as friendly, kind and quick to remember names.

Digital Presence and Who It Suits

Healthyubud leans on Instagram (@healthyubud) and its ordering site healthyubud.shop, and actively responds to online reviews, which helps maintain a strong ~4.8/5 reputation.

Health‑minded travellers, vegans, and anyone curious about a plant‑based kebab that rivals the “real” thing will get the most joy from this tucked‑away Penestanan spot, especially if they value flavour and friendly faces over luxe views.
