Revolver Espresso, Seminyak, Bali

Ok, so I know my blog is about life in Jakarta. But let's face it, at some point or another most people living in Jakarta make a trip to Bali. So, if you do, this ones for you...you must drop into to Revolver cafe in Seminyak. Situated in an alley off Jalan Kayu Aya, this is a hidden gem amongst the latest array of boutique style coffee houses popping up around Bali. You might walk past the door if you don't know it's there but once you open it you'll be taken in by the instant buzz and happy vibe. Revolver is just a fantastic place to be. There's a great laid back, chilled out vibe, staff are friendly and attentive and the place, although small is tastefully decorated. They open from 7am to 6pm so don't turn up for dinner. Breakfast is a firm favourite here and the menu has a good selection on offer. I went with what was called 'the revolver' breakfast which was two pieces of sourdough bread topped with smashed avocado and poached eggs and served with a tomato jam. It was delicious and extremely satisfying. I ordered my cappuccino to accompany it and it was strong! Phew, what a kick I got from my first cup of joe! To be honest, with the day heating up inside I could have quite happily say in here all day. You can't watch the world go by (no windows) but you can watch some of it come and go as more and more people find their way into this little pocket of warm fuzziness. Before you leave, don't forget to take a photo in the kissing booth, located just outside the entrance. It's actually a table but complete with photos of people of all shapes and sizes locking lips. Don't miss it!
