Mr. Wayan, Coffee & Eatery

Rizières, calme et cuisine soignée

Set just north of central Ubud on Jl. Suweta in Br. Bentuyung, Mr. Wayan, Coffee & Eatery sits inside Wapa di Ume Resort & Spa, facing wide rice fields and palm trees rather than traffic. Guests describe a peaceful terrace, quiet even at midday heat, and a dining room that stays super clean and airy.

From breakfast at 7h00 to late dinners at 23h00, many travellers staying at the resort simply eat here every day, some for all four nights of their stay, citing “6 star treatment” and saying it felt like home from start to finish.

Balinese flavours and comfort classics

The concept is casual but refined, with “True Taste” Balinese dishes sitting alongside pizzas, burgers, pork, fish and desserts. Reviewers repeatedly praise highlights like crispy duck, grilled duck and a Babi Guling–style burger, plus beef satay, pan‑fried barramundi and teriyaki salmon.

Breakfasts stand out: guests talk about fresh, flavourful plates, Western or local, floating breakfast trays, and even takeaway breakfast prepared at 02h30 before a Mt Batur sunrise climb. Portions are called generous, plating pleasant, and desserts such as chocolate lava cake and crème brûlée get special mentions.

Coffee, cocktails and Wednesday nights

Coffee matters here: several visitors single out excellent lattes, great coffee art and “AMAZING” espresso-based drinks, whether for a quick stop-in or after a cooking class. Cocktails draw equal enthusiasm, from a “dreamiest” matchacolada to the Ms Jasilla signature, with happy hour deals like “buy two, get the third free”.

Evenings can mean a quiet romantic dinner or something livelier. Guests note themed BBQ nights with traditional Balinese dances, well-organised cultural dinners, and Wednesday nights with live mic and guitar that create a warm, social atmosphere.

Cooking classes in the garden

Cooking classes are one of the big draws. Many reviews call them one of their best experiences in Bali: a morning visit to the local market and spice stalls, trying snake fruit and spring rolls, followed by hands-on preparation of three‑course Balinese meals.

Names like Arik, Ayu, Lasmini, Ngurah and others recur across reviews, praised for being patient, organised and fun while guiding guests through dishes such as Bumbu Koning, lumpia, mie goreng, nasi goreng and dadar gulung. Sessions usually finish with lunch in the organic garden or a peaceful corner overlooking the resort.

Service, setting and price point

Service is repeatedly described as warm, thoughtful and “above and beyond”, with staff remembered by name and even bringing ginger tea to a guest with a cold. Visitors who aren’t staying at the resort say they’re treated just as kindly as in‑house guests.

Prices sit above simple warungs ($$ – $$$) but many diners find them reasonable for a hotel setting with rice‑field views, climate‑controlled wine and careful hygiene. For travellers who value calm surroundings, friendly staff and a complete experience from coffee to cooking classes, Mr. Wayan is likely to feel like very good value.
