Peace - Edit
Peaceful vibes, clean food. Kind of like a cafe but with a full menu. 100% vegan menu and have a variety of options for dessert. Nice place to dine-in or just have tea and hang out.

The service is extremely slow too!
Nevertheless, the staff are lovely.

Dear GuacHummusMaximus,
Read moreThank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we always find value in what our customers share about their experience. We're happy that you like the food! If you found the portions small, you're always welcome to top up with additional sides. We're sorry to hear that you consider the food expensive. We go out of our way to source all of our ingredients from quality sources, and make everything in house fresh, and the prices reflect that love and care. In terms of the service, we are sorry to hear it was slow. Due to the pandemic, we have cut staff hours significantly due to this, our wait times can be longer on busy days. We appreciate your understanding on this matter. Thanks for complimenting our staff, who we consider as family. They'll be happy to hear you enjoyed them. Thank you again for submitting your review, wishing you all the best! - Sydney, Head of Communication

Dear Vegan Catto,
Read moreWe appreciate you taking the time to send us your feedback! We are always seeking honest feedback and we appreciate your suggestions. Happy to hear you loved the vibes of our space, we hope you found it inviting! In terms of AC, we understand your concern. Due to the pandemic, we have stopped using the AC in order to cut down on cost. Hopefully when tourism returns, we can get it running again. Sorry to hear that you weren't especially enthusiastic about the food. We'd love to hear your specific feedback so we can improve what was lacking for you. If you come back, please let us know and we'd love to chat! Thanks again for your review, best wishes to you! - Sydney, LFL Head of Communication

So many options - Edit
Everything on the menu sounds so delicious and healthy! I had a refreshing Bali colada smoothie, the BBQ jackfruit wrap (which was a little weird and not as BBQ flavored as I hoped), and shared some yummy cannelloni with my boyfriend. We also ordered a hamper from them for Nyepi and it was such a good deal for the amount of food we got!
Read moreLivingFoodLab
Hello!
Read moreThank you so much for your positive words. We were really happy to serve you with the hamper for Nyepi. I've taken your note on-board about the jackfruit wrap not being as BBQ flavoured as you had hoped - I actually agree with you that it could be stronger and will let our kitchen know.
We are trying our best to come up with great packages during this time that we can all do with an immunity boost, so thank you for your support thus far, and we hope to see you again.

It this typical vegan place, great atmosphere for expats doing their online work. Smaller portions but delicious food. Would recommend and go again.

Hi!
Read moreWe are happy that you enjoyed the atmosphere at our co-working space upstairs and found the food delicious. For many of our portions you can request a larger size (or double portion).
We hope to see you again, perhaps to try one of our many immunity boosting packages?
We wish you a healthy body and a happy mind, now more than ever.

Yummy - Edit
Smoothies are yummy and cold!! Food was great.
Read moreCons: Whole coconut was warm.
LivingFoodLab
Hello!
Read moreWe are really happy you enjoyed your smoothies and food. For the coconuts, we serve them at room temperature, as we don't have the facility to store so many coconuts, and many people enjoy their coconuts as is. But I know the feeling when you just want to sip on cooling, cold coconut water, so please know that there is always the option to add ice and lime to your coconut. Perhaps our server forgot to offer this to you, so I will make sure to remind everyone.
Welcome back again, as we keep on adding to our menu and have special packages going on at the moment.
Take care and stay hydrated :)

Hello!
Read moreHow wonderful that you enjoyed your experience! It's true, we probably have the widest range of books on veganism in Bali, all available for reading in-house. We are so glad you enjoyed our loving service, which is really at the heart of who we are. And I'm personally happy you enjoyed the design, as we put a lot of love into designing our furniture together with local artisans.
We hope to see you again, and wish you the best of health and happiness.

The place is nice - Edit
Dessert are row and tasteless. Icecream from cashew and can’t say that was as the real icecream.
Read moreLivingFoodLab
Hello!
Read moreThank you for your review. Yes, our desserts are all raw, but I'm so sorry you thought it was tasteless. Which one did you have? How about the ice-cream - which flavour did you have? I will certainly check in with our kitchen to see that we're following the recipes as those ice-creams are actually quite delicious when I have had them, so I'd definitely want to see the quality maintained.
We hope you are staying healthy and happy during these times and hope you will give us another change if you are ever in Bali again.

The best restaurant in the world? - Edit
It will be hard not to eat here everyday during my stay, I just might have to. Exotic, fresh variety of flavors. Extensive selection, artfully prepared. What more could you ask for? I'm in love. Do your self a favor and get a selection of different items, or better yet go with a friend to have a little sample of lots of lovingly prepared options.
Read morePros: Everything
Cons: None
LivingFoodLab
Hello!
Read moreIt's so lovely to read this, thank you! This makes our hearts feel so full, as we are really in the business of serving love. We prepare our food as an offering from us to you, made with love, and it is amazing when you can taste that. Also, as an ethically-based vegan restaurant, love features strongly in our foundations.
Thank you for that tip of sampling lots of different items - we are happy to put together platters of our favourites, if you have time to wait a bit longer, as they are all a bit elaborate, with many components. But we feel it's worthwhile the wait!
Sending you love.

Fantastic find - best coffee - Edit
Iced coconut latte was the best. Add the coconut nectar for sure. It’s absolutely delicious. Really chilled environment. Super clean. Staff are incredibly friendly. Decor is modern and lots of effort has been put into making it a place you want to just kick back and enjoy. Avocado on pumpkin toast was yum. Will come back for sure.
Read moreLivingFoodLab
Hello there!
Read moreOur baristas will be thrilled to hear you loved the iced latte. Yes, the coconut nectar does sweeten it up in a lovely way. Thank you for noticing the cleanliness and friendliness. I'm personally happy you picked up on the details in decor - we did think through a lot of details to see how we can make it as comfortable and stylish as possible (in our view, haha - style is so personal).
Welcome back again and stay safe.

Nice! - Edit
We really liked the concept of this place. We both aim to be as mindful as possible with the food we eat and the living food lab caters to this well. The menu clearly states which dishes are cooked and which are raw etc. We had celery juice with cucumber, the soup special which was pumpkin - this was a must! (Small size as a starter - still plenty.) Then the Bali salad which was similar to a nasi with raw noodles, cooked salad and tempura on-top. The ginger sauce was delicious and then my partner had the raw cannelloni which was also nice.
Read morePros: Lots of options to choose from , HEALTHY considered menu! , Fair prices
LivingFoodLab
Hello!
Read moreThank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed description of your experience. We are grateful that you enjoyed yourselves so much, as what more can we ask for than happy guests?
Being an ethically-based vegan restaurant and having a focus on conscious, mindful choices in what and how we eat, I am personally always grateful to see the expanding community of diners who are coming in for this purpose. Together we can make a significant difference to how we consume.
We are also happy to see you considered our prices fair, as indeed, considering the quality of ingredients and time and love put into it, the prices are indeed fair. It's good to get this kind of feedback. I am curious, though: what could we have done to make those 4 stars into a 5?
Take care, stay safe.

We ordered so many options because it was cheap and healthy and delicious. The raw cannelloni and pizza were a highlight. Even our non vegan friends loved it!

LivingFoodLab
Hello!
Read moreThank you for coming and ordering so many options. It's great if you can share as a group and get a variety of options. I'm so happy that your non vegan friends loved it - this is always a step in the right direction so thank you for sharing!
You are right in that sometimes the wait is long, and that's because the foods are made up of many components, all of them made in-house. It's more slow food than fast food, so your patience is appreciated! It might be that the order before yours was a more complex one, as we cater to personalised requests from guests, and this usually means that the order will take longer.
In any case, thank you for coming and for your review and hope to serve you again!

Nice atmosphere - Edit
We only had drinks at foodLab and a mixed salad to go.
Read moreThe location is very nice, would have spent more time here! There are a ton of vegan (cook) books and magazines to read, fast/free WiFi and the interior is stylish.
My salad was 40k and contained mix lettuce, tofu, tempeh, kale, Nori and tahini dressing.
Very light and fresh taste.
The iced latte was one of the best I had. They use coconut milk, cashew and almond milk is available too and costs 10k extra.
The staff was welcoming and put the salad in my container to avoid waste.
Recommended!
Pros: tasteful and chilled place , fresh foods , nice staff

Very nice place. Good food. - Edit
I had a smoothie bowl there. The PB one. As a peanut butter lover, I really loved it. The toppings are so good. The base too but it was too cold for me. Some detail.
Read moreAnd for that price, I expected more quantity.
Pros: Wonderful toppings, Lovely place
Cons: Quantity
LivingFoodLab
Hello Julien,
Read moreThank you so much for your review. The PB bowl is a favourite amongst PB lovers. I'm sorry it was too cold for you. We try to make them thick, and that requires iced fruit and veg components. We're happy to accommodate if you let us know you'd prefer it less cold.
We make our own sauces and sweeteners in-house for the various elements that make up the PB bowl (instead of cheap sweeteners and fillers), and that reflects in the price. Of course, we'd love for you to feel that you got great value from it, so next time you come by, please let us know so we can make sure to satisfy you.
And thank you for your great work at Blutopia!
Stay safe,

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen! - Edit
Wir waren einige Male zum Arbeiten im Living Food Lab und würden immer wieder kommen! Man hat auf der zweiten Etage ruhigere Plätze und im Erdgeschoss ist ein wenig mehr Leben und Musik. Das Personal ist sehr nett, uns wurde jede Stunde neues Wasser kostenfrei eingeschenkt und auch das Essen ist super lecker! Man kann sich selbst einen Salat zusammenstellen oder aus verschiedenen kleinen, mittleren und großen Gerichten im Menü wählen. Alles ist vegan und super lecker! Die Preise sind wirklich okay! :)

Great vegan food in Canngu - Edit
I’ve been here several times and everything I tried was delicious, this is the place if you’re not a fan of coconut in every dish (in contrast with most of other vegan places I’ve checked in area). Soups are nice but may be a little bland, I liked all the sandwiches I’ve tried, they also sell really nice and durable eco bags for your groceries. Pizza was pretty weird though, it’s more like a big round sandwich on a weird bread with some stuff on top. Not a terrible taste but also not really a pizza

Good food - Edit
An upscale raw food restaurant in the Canggu area. I had the Zoodles (65.000 as of February 2019). It comes with raw spiral zucchini noodles, herb pesto dressing, croquettes and Tahini dressing. I also ordered a small plate with smoked tempeh, raw crackers, and hummus. The total for the food came to exactly one hundred thousand and they add on 10% tax 5% service. The portion size seems small but it was surprisingly filling. Overall a good place although the prices are a bit high for a budget traveler (although in line with other upscale vegetarian and vegan restaurants in this area). Recommended when in the neighborhood.

Cons: A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.
