Luhtu’s Coffee Shop: Cake, Sand and Sea Air
Beachfront hangout on Sindhu sands
Luhtu’s Coffee Shop sits right on Sindhu Beach at Jl. Pantai Sindhu No.15, woven into or beside Aquarius Beach Hotel in Sanur. Guests talk about eating with their feet in the sand under shade, looking straight out to the ocean while the sea breeze moves through the rustic seating area.
Open roughly from 07h00 to 22h00 ou 23h00 every day (horaires pouvant varier), it draws a steady mix of tourists and local expats wandering the beachfront promenade.
Morning crowd and value breakfasts
Breakfast is a highlight, with one repeat visitor saying they came “every day” for the American breakfast at 72k (83k avec taxes & service), including eggs, toast, one meat, fresh fruit and coffee/tea. That same guest singled out the chunky brown bread and felt it was the best value on the beach.
Even when it gets busy, reviewers note they usually find a seat and are not rushed, which suits long, lazy mornings after a jog along Sanur’s path.
Baked goods that built a reputation
Pâtisserie is the star. Multiple guests rave about the carrot cake and apple pie, with one carrot birthday cake described as wonderfully fresh, perfectly moist and not overly sweet. Another customer praised a cake order where the price was respected, the cake arrived on time and the whole process “exceeded expectations”.
Local analysis points to these pastries as Luhtu’s signature product, drawing both regular expats and hotel guests back again and again.
Simple plates, sea view pricing
Savory dishes earn more mixed feedback. A reviewer enjoyed a peaceful late lunch with bihun goreng and a fresh orange juice, remarking they “paid for the view” but preferred it to overated eateries at Icon Mall. Other sources describe main meals as more standard than memorable, especially compared with the cakes.
Prices are generally seen as good value for money along this stretch of Sindhu Beach, especially considering the direct seafront setting.
Service rhythms and digital gaps
Service comes across as friendly and often efficient; several guests explicitly say staff were kind and helpful. However, broader review patterns mention occasional long waits, forgotten items and a relaxed “island time” pace that may frustrate those in a hurry.
Wi‑Fi and power outlets are less reliable, especially at the outdoor beachfront tables, so it’s not the strongest choice for digital nomads needing solid connectivity.
Who will enjoy Luhtu’s most
Established since 2008 as a classic Sanur coffee spot, Luhtu’s thrives on foot traffic, repeat locals and its easygoing, feet‑in‑the‑sand setting rather than aggressive social media. Travelers who care more about a slice of carrot cake, a milkshake or morning coffee with a sea view than fast service or high‑tech comforts will feel most at home here.
