Soil Food Temple

Organic hub on busy Jl. Mertanadi

On Jl. Mertanadi No. 22A in Kerobokan/Seminyak, Soil Food Temple sits on a hectic artery between Sunset Road and Canggu – a calm, bright pocket of health food in the middle of Bali traffic. Open daily from 08h00 – 21h00, it blends a zero-waste bulk store with a café and smoothie counter.

Reviews describe the Seminyak shop as clean, well‑lit and beautifully arranged, with everything neatly labeled and easy to navigate (Google 2024). Several regulars mention it quickly became their “go‑to” for conscious grocery shopping.

Zero-waste bulk and niche ingredients

Soil Food Temple runs on a “bring your own jar” idea, encouraging shoppers to refill rather than add packaging. Shelves carry bulk grains and nuts, dry fruits and oils, teas, coffee, spices, and powders of superfoods and medicinal mushrooms.

Customers highlight hard‑to‑find items, from keto snacks and vegan sweets to fermented drinks and organic cosmetics. One shopper notes they now come “almost every day” because they can find “anything you want,” from dry fruits to body care (Google 2023).

Café, smoothies and healthy bowls

Beyond the shelves, there’s a café side with matcha with flax seed, cookies, jamu and other drinks; some feedback also mentions poke and smoothie bowls at another Soil location, with popular combinations like Classic Ahi Tuna and Salmon Tobiko, plus miso soup and rosella tonic.

Diners describe food that tastes light yet filling, with a Planet Earth 444 smoothie praised for its balanced sweetness and thick texture. Portions are reported as generous and “very filling,” especially the bowls (Google 2022).

Ethical concept and friendly team

The concept leans heavily into sustainability and conscious nutrition, with made‑in‑house products like nut butters, kombucha, kefir and plant milks cited in the market analysis. An owner named Surya is described as putting “heart and soul” into creating nutritious, affordable snacks.

Across locations, staff are consistently called “super friendly,” “helpful” and “knowledgeable,” with individual shout‑outs to team members like Nova and Fay for going the extra mile.

Pricing, access and delivery workarounds

Prices sit at a premium compared to local supermarkets, which some visitors accept as the cost of organic quality and specialty diets like vegan, gluten‑free and keto. One reviewer, however, finds Soil in Canggu more budget‑friendly than other wholefood stores.

Traffic on Jl. Mertanadi can make parking and access a hassle, but Soil counters that with heavy use of GrabMart and Shopee. Several customers happily order 10+ products via delivery; one did note that recyclable paper bags can rip and wished for an optional resealable upgrade.

Who will like it

Soil Food Temple suits eco‑minded residents and visitors who care about ingredients, enjoy bulk shopping and don’t mind paying a bit more for organic and niche products in a calm, well‑run space.
