should b listed as vegan

all vegan except for honey (but the menu explains why they offer honey, the benefits, and how it’s ethically sourced) cozy spot to stay for a while , lots of creative food options ! build your own salad bar, homemade desserts in window, friendly staff, lots of cleansing smoothie options! All options are clearly labeled (raw, honey , gf etc)

Vegan heaven!

We lived in a villa in one of the rice fields behind Alchemy and were so lucky that this was our nearest restaurant with lots of healthy vegan options and a daily fresh juice delivery for each day of my cleanse.

We wanted to try everything because the choice was great and the restaurant itself was a hub for wellness in a lovely location, away from central Ubud but still walkable - the walk was slightly uphill but pleasant.

Pros: Beautiful fresh flavours, Lots of healthy choices, Daily juice delivery

Cons: Expensive, Honey

Great

Fluffy waffle - great
Mungbean crepe with Sunnyside up 'egg' - great
Vanilla cheesecake with passion fruit - amazing

Nice little shop with healthy tasty snacks too. We got a lot of the protein balls for hikes and travel days. A little bougie. Felt kinda americanized.

Just wow

Just wandered into this restaurant and was completely marvelled. Lovely interior, nice staff and a HUGE variety. It’s made almost cooked up to 40° Celsius ( don’t know then Fahrenheit).
We had the burger, tuna sandwich, jackfruit wrap and the zoodles. Compared to the prize the portions were very huge and satisfied completely ☺️

Pros: Many vegan options, Almost all is gluten free , They have beegan as a separat

An Ubud Institution

Created by a good person who has staff that are happy and welcoming. Alchemy continues to set the standard of raw and semi raw food in the Ubud community. A good focus on flavor and nutrition, there is a range of options available for all palates. Personal faves include the smoothie bowl breakfast bar, salad bar, soup bar and their variety of ice creams.

Pros: Food is great. Hardly a poor choice on the menu. , Easy location, in and out. , Be curious and try the options.

Cons: None to mind

Delicious food

Completely vegan menu. Lots of raw options.

I had the jackfruit tuna sandwich, a slice of raw pizza and the sourbucha. Main meals are filling and very flavorsome.

I also tried the waffles with ice cream.

Create your salad and your ice cream

We went for the full 'make your own' experience be raiding the salad bar and making our own soft serve. It was all very good and delicious. The atmosphere is chill. They clearly mark honey options (we've noticed in Bali honey is often still in vegan-marked dishes :/)

Pros: The soft serve with cookie!

My fave

We went here a few times as they had a shop as well as the restaurant, the shop was great as it had really nice kimchi which we always stocked up on. We ate at the restaurant once and it was pretty good. The staff are all really warming and friendly. The food was tastey but it’s not the sort of place you would go if you like unhealthy food as it’s all health or raw based mostly. They do have a fridge full of sweet snacks where you can get really nice chocolates. It’s pretty expensive tho.

Pros: Lovely staff, Lovely vibe , Tastey food

Cons: Bit pricey

Incredible breakfast

Everything we had at Alchemy was stellar, and the Champion Breakfast Plate had the most amazing combination of flavors. Chill vibe. Nice little store too.

Excellent food and environment.

I had the breakfast sampler it’s crazy how they had a vegan egg tasting like a real one. Now that’s alchemy for real.

Pretty good, but desserts too sweet

Been here a few times - the drinks are good, but pricey. I was recommended the snickers dessert which was overly sweet with competing tastes. Salads and vege dishes were good. I recently heard that they're now stocking Malaika gluten free breads which is great news - these aren't your usual banana flour breads, they are fermented pumpkin and fermented coconut breads - really tasty, low-carb and delicious!

Food was delicious

Smokey burger was really good, poke bowl was nice and fresh. But the star of the show was the cheese board, was amazing! Compared to some of the other restaurants in town it is a little expensive but would still recommend you try

Ok

A nice restaurant with a health shop attached to it.
Customers are only expats, food is overall good. Been there many times and food can be very inconsistent when it comes to taste and presentation (one day the burger had a bun, the other it didn't, without explanation).
Quite expensive.

Pure Awesomeness

The best breakfast bar I ever tried. Delicious raw vegan yoghurt + organic fruits + delicious toppings. Wow ! It's so good I go there EVERY DAY for my breakfast.
The best salad bar I ever tried. Varied, flavourful, fresh, personalised.
Every item on the menu is absolute heaven to me. Feels like really high vibes!

Excellent smoothies and juices, amazing chocolates and tarts.
Fast and very kind service. Best in class.

My favorite café in the world and I travelled A LOT!

Woo-woo

I prefer my food cooked to be honest. Saying that, our party of vegans and carnivores were pleasantly surprised at what finally turned up on our plates. I had a fake egg and was impressed by the look and texture. The chocolate cake was also unbelievably dense and rich.
The whole hippy atmosphere is a bit of a turnoff though.

Pros: Impressive food

Cons: Lack of alcohol, Hippyish atmosphere

Best raw food in Bali

Good raw food that I actually like. Menu clearly states if its vegan or has honey in it. Right next to alchemy roga centre as well. Kpens before class stars so can grabe a quick snack.

Good staff and the jackfruit sausage was very tasty, but the vegan egg really didn’t appreciate it and the chocolate milkshake had to much coconut oil, it make the shake taste like rotten, disappointing breakfast and also awful new age music

Pros: Good staff , Tasty jackfruit sausage

Cons: Vegan egg taste awful , annoying music, Expensive price

Turning base foods into gold

Alchemy is one of many spots in Ubud offering raw food delights. Although not my number one go-to spot, it's still worth dropping in and munching on some magical morsels. The raw Mexican platter is a nice place to start. There is also a small store space in the corner of the restaurant offering a limited selection of superfoods, dried Balinese fruits and jamu (traditional Balinese medicinal drink).

Hidden Honey

Never eat at Alchemy if you care about honey. They have screwed me over so many times. They put honey in almost everything and only list a few things as having honey. I only found out through constant questioning. I spoke with the owner, but they ultimately don't care because they believe in ethical slavery and the magical medicinal properties of bee vomit. They have no integrity or ability to understand the principles of consent or what veganism means or that bee vomit is not a human food or healthy or a plant that would fall under the umbrella of plant based.

They know it angers people, but they think they're right so they don't care about violating you. They've been doing this for years apparently. I guess I'm just an ignorant customer who doesn't know what's good for him so let's just slip in honey wherever we please.

I don't get how people can call themselves vegan and still think it's ok to exploit a living being. To steal their food and use them for their own profit against their will. Maybe insects don't count or maybe it's ok if it suits you that day. Maybe saying we treat our slaves really well is enough. Some people just have no honor.
