Nice lunch spot - Edit
Big fan of places like this that work for a more sustainable society! Organic and fairtrade café which is owned and run by women. Had lunch here and will say it’s probably the best place around to eat at. I struggled to find sustainable and healthy places up in Munduk, so I was really happy to find this. As everyone says the views are splendid.
Read moreI had the toge and they were able to make it oil free which I really appreciated. Menu didn’t list the chips (that you see in my picture) so when the dish came out and I asked about them the staff were happy to switch them for more cucumber and tomato. If I went again I would probably have the same dish, but ask for only tempeh and not tofu too. Wished wholegrain rice would have been an option, but still enjoyed my visit. Staff was conscious about healthy choices which I deeply appreciated. Thank you, Budi and the Munduk Women Cooperative ☺️🙏🌏

Lovely place with an amazing view! - Edit
Firstly, there are only a sparce few restaurants in Munduk that DON'T have an astounding view, so that's really not a specific point. But what I'm saying is the view is phenomenal and you won't be disappointed. If you're only passing through Munduk and going to one place, I'd go here.
Read moreThe cafe is built around the luwak coffee and they are part of a co-operative that is trying to educate people on the benefit to having the luwaks around, teaching them how to care for their habitat and leave them alone, in the hopes that recreational hunting will disist. I don't know how successful they've been yet. They have the luwak coffee for sale and they offer it extensively on the menu, but I'm still of the belief that if you're dependent on an animal for your experience then you've gone down the wrong path. There are other coffees available and other beverages on the menu. Several of the previous reviewers have said that the coffee is brilliant and that they are pro-luwak coffee consumers. I'm just not one of them.
I have been twice to Eco Cafe, once for dinner where I had the capcay which was lovely. It said on the menu it was a tomato sauce, but this didn't contain any tomatoes.... intriguing.
The second time I had lunch and sat with a pot of bajigul which is a delightful infusion of coconut milk. The strainer contained lemograss, cinnamon and ginger and it tasted ultimately like condensed milk! Very yummy! (and yes, I confirmed with the lady first that I couldn't have dairy and she said it didn't contain any).
For lunch I had the noodle soup (Mie Rebus) which was nice, but it was little more than a pack of noodles and a handful of veggies. I also had a side of tofu instead of the egg it normally comes with.
I would also say that it is slightly more expensive than the warungs around. I paid 70,000 rupiah for the noodle soup, tofu and bajigul, which by any other country's standards isn't much, but it's about 20-40k more than I've paid in other warungs in the village.
What I would say is that the location is amazing, the view is incredible and the staff are lovely.
I did a walk in the morning which you can find on AllTrails, or your local guide will show you, that goes to 2 (optional 3rd) waterfalls and the final leg of the walk comes right past Eco Cafe, so it's worth doing that and stopping in for refreshment on the way home!
Pros: The view, vegetarian menu, most of which can be veganised, Lovely staff
Cons: Little bit more expensive than the other cafes, Use of the luwak cats

Some vegan desserts - Edit
We had balinese classics as main course but were positively surprised by the amount of vegan dishes: Fried bananas, black rice pudding, Chlorophyll pancakes with different fillings
Read moreThey also had Luwak coffee relatively cheap (like 5k extra, so 35 for espresso)
Pros: Vegan desserts, Luwak coffee
Cons: Toilet without working faucet, 3% extra for card payment!

Amazing food, view & ethics - Edit
We came here after doing the wild luwak coffee tour at the eco cafe 1. We met budi the owner and omg what an amazing man he is. He set up all the cafes to support the local women in the community (Munduk women’s cooperation) and takes no money from it for himself. They serve the wild luwak coffee with western style milk (coconut and soya is available) highly recommend the coconut 😋 we tried latte and mocha and both delicious! We had two mains 1 toge and unfortunately can’t remember name of the other one (it was in a lemongrass paste) both delicious and good portions! Hard to come across tofu/Tempe in Munduk so we were very happy. Also had a portion of the banana fritters. The portion was massive!! Glad we shared. You must come here to support the Co op and the wild luwaks! Love love love it!

Nice coop making ethical Luwak Coffee - Edit
The only place I've seen selling ethically produced Luwak Coffee sourced only from wild animals. They also have a wide range of Indonesian vegan food some of which I hadn't seen elsewhere in Bali. Portions a bit small but not expensive.

Beautiful food and view - Edit
A small Warung with misleading menu out the front showing very limited vegan and vegetarian options. The menu upstairs is quite extensive and the food is delicious and quite different from other local Warungs. The owner Budi loves a chat and they will also prepare fresh coconut milk for a western style latte. Highly recommended.
Read morePros: Good range of options , Incredible outlook
Cons: A little pricey

Would give five stars if I could - Edit
Really enjoyed our meal in Eco Cafe 2. When we arrived it was quiet and the owner Budi was very welcoming, we learned about the cafe and how important fair trade is to the business. There was a large selection of vegetarian options and when ordering we were asked if we wanted egg or not. We ate the nasi goreng and the mi rebus which were both delicious! The prices weren't the cheapest but the food, amazing view from the restaurant and the great service made it well worth it! Also loved the coconut cappuccino and will be returning to try out the luwak coffee.

A hidden treasure - ethical, sustainable and DELICIOUS! - Edit
The Munduk area seems to be a bit of a struggle when it comes to vegan options, but they can be found.
Read moreI visited Eco Cafe 2 on a beautiful sunny afternoon to explore their vegan offerings; a bit risky because HappyCow had no reviews or photos yet. Hence me submitting this review and sharing photos.
Separate vegetarian section on the menu, many of which can be made vegan. Upon speaking with one of the owners, Budi, the vegan selection broadens during peak season too!
Open from 8am to 10pm, all food is pesticide and chemical free (organic basically), and the luwak beans are harvested from wild luwaks, not caged ones. The plantation is open for tours. Animal welfare and sustainability ranks very highly in the owners’ priorities. Fantastic to hear, eh?
My meal (Urab - steamed vegetables, fried tofu & tempe, beans spiced with fresh grated young coconut and served with rice) was delicious (photographed). I also got two cappuccinos (two different varieties, I don’t know dick squat about coffee) made with coconut milk. They usually have soy milk too but were all out on this occasion. The coffee was nice! I’m definitely no connoisseur!
If you’re visiting Munduk and are vegan/vegetarian/veg curious, I say it’s definitely worth your while dropping by Eco Cafe 2.
I’ve also attached a magazine feature detailing more about the Eco Cafe community if you’re curious.
*END SCENE*
Pros: Several vegan options, Reasonably priced , Pesticide and chemical free
