Good option for a beach lunch - Edit
The place has a good variety of vegan dishes. The menu has some confusion over vegan vs. vegetarian so worth double checking before you order.

Look at your bill carefully - Edit
Food was good, expensive, especially after the bill was not charged properly. I recommend paying for each item as you buy it, that way there will be less chance of mistakes or being ripped off.
Read morePros: Falafel, Location, Friendly service
Cons: Incompetence/dodgyness, Very slow service, Grossly overcharged

Decent vegan options, friendly - Edit
Genius Café has a nice spot on Sanur beach and a menu that clearly labels vegan options. We found the smoothies and desserts to be quite good, and the mains to be OK but nothing special.
Read moreThe bumbu curry was mild and could use more veggies. The mushroom wrap was simple but good. The vegan nachos were OK though mild in flavor and not especially nacho-like.
One of us wanted to order a vegan pizza, but after taking our order our kind server returned to inform us that the dough for the crust is not vegan (honey). He said they sometimes have vegan crust but not tonight, so vegans be sure to ask.
Service is very warm and helpful.

Partial Vegetarian/Vegan/Meat restaurant - Edit
If you want beachside this is a place that has some vegan and vegetarian meals. Expensive and from the meal i had nothing special. Had the vegetarian quesadilla with vegan cheese,which reminded me of melted cheese whiz when i was a kid..not that good cashew cheese...the potato chunks were the only good part of the dish,the tomato salsa was like mayonaise
Read moreblended with tomato..eeks...not worth a second visit for me.

So many options! - Edit
Whether you’re craving nachos or Balinese curries or pasta or pizza, you’re covered. Their shakes are all also vegan, as are their desserts. Service is good. I ordered the nachos, which was a little bland, but my friend’s Bumbu Bali curry was delicious.

Great drinks and veggie options - Edit
Lots of delicious smoothies to cool down. We tried the taste of asia bowl, pumpkin and ricotta pizza, bumbu curry and 3 dips combo. All were delicious and portions were generous. Great place for vegetarians and vegans to eat in Sanur 👍

Good but expensive - Edit
Had the happinessbowl with extra tempe. The tempe tasted like it was cooked in a pan where chicken is cooked too. Not a fan of that at all. And it is quit expensive for Bali. But the atmosphere with dancing peaople is nice. And the food was satiating.
Read morePros: Good quantity, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Expensive, Tempe tastded like cooked in a pan with meat

The most amazing place! - Edit
Right on the beach and fantastic food! We went here 3 days in a row! My favourite thing I had was the Mexican Bowl of Glory. It is a little pricey, but well worth it in my opinion.

Chill out at the beach - Edit
The location is the best to have breakfast in the sand with view on the ocean. In the evening it can be a bit chilly and windy also in the seating area.
Read moreThe choice of food is very good, some portions were huge (the curry, the smoothie bowl), some rather small (the mushroom pasta) for the price. The taste was good but not extraordinary, sometimes lacking a bit spices (the curry). The vegan pizza was not bad, but had too much balsamic on it in my opinion. It also had vegan cheese on it but was some kind of cream cheese. The ice cream could have been a bit more creamy (also too pricy for Bali).
Pros: Location , Atmosphere , Choice of food
Cons: Expensive

I've been there for breakfast today after my yoga class. I had the dragon fruit smoothie bowl and it was fantastic. They are well priced and I got 25% off because of the yoga class I joined before. Very friendly stuff.

A surprising gem by the beach - Edit
In a place like Sanur where most restaurants in the tourist-packed areas have very generic and meat-heavy menus, Genius cafe is a refreshing exception. They have a nice selection of vegan options and even do pizza with vegan cheese. However, they brought cow parmesan in a cup with my pasta bolognese even though the dish was labelled vegan and there was no mention of the cheese on the menu, which I found odd. When I mentioned that they took the cheese away and brought vegan cheese sauce instead.
Read morePros: location, a variety of clearly marked vegan options, pizza with vegan cheese
Cons: dairy cheese with a meal labelled vegan, slightly pricey

Amazing vegan options! So fresh and healthy-highly recommend! - Edit
We had the nachos to start and the falafel bowl and vegan vegetable pizza to follow. All food was delicious! The cafe is just on the beach which is lovely. It is on the pricy side for Bali but the portion sizes are generous and the quality of the food was well worth it.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Healthy fresh food, Amazing location on the beach
Cons: Expensive (for Bali) , No vegan desserts apart from ice cream
