Ubud is loaded with lovely shops and galleries selling art, antiques and interior design gear. This afternoon I stopped into a couple of places on Jl. Raya Ubud. The first was Gender Mas, a shop stocking original work by a selection of artists from all over Bali, including Karangasem. I asked the staff, a muscly young guy called Gede (single women take note), how much the merchandise was. He quoted prices or 30m rp, 25m rp etc. for the small 3 foot status. he told me there is another shop in the village of Mas, a few kilometers away.
The second place I checked out was Suarti, across from Gender Mas on Jl. Raya Ubud, same side as Cafe Lotus. Suarti specializes in interior decoration, including dining, silver wear and elegant ornaments. Open 8am-8.30pm. Other shops located in Kuta, Sanur. The head office is located at Jl. Raya Celuk #100X, Sukawati.

My friends were getting hungry around noon today and I offered some alternatives. My final choice was KAFE, located on the lower section of Jl. Hanuman. “This place is a little bit of Eugene (Oregon),” I said, meaning the hippy / new age person would be drawn there.
KAFE is open for breakfast lunch and dinner and serves a lot of healthy organic fare. My meal was a California burrito for 30,000rp. It included rice and beans and a nice tasting salad dressing.
The menu at KAFE is as follows:
Breakfast served all day – including Tomato Basil Omelette (24,000rp)
Appetizers – including Chips & Salsa (11,000rp)
Bowl Food – including spiced Pumpkin Soup (14,000rp)
Salads – including KAFE Caeser Salad (25,000rp)
Bread Food – including Madras Tuna Salad Sandwich (24,000rp)
Main Courses – including Tempe Cashew Nut Curry (20,000rp)
Kids Menu – including Small Sized Spaghetti (12,000rp)
There is also a decent dessert menu, but my photo of the menu was blurry.
Coffee & Espresso – including Cappuccino (11,000rp)
Tea Heaven – including Herbal Energizer (9,000rp)
Fresh Fruit Juices – including mango juice (16,000rp)
Healthy Vegetable Juices – including Spinach, Apple, Cucumber (12,000rp)
Lassis, Smoothies & Health Shakes – including Blueberry Lassi (15,000rp)
KAFE Natural Soda’s – including Lemongrass Spritzer (13,000rp)
Package Drinks To Go – including Local Javanese Apple Juice (7,000rp)
Water refills are available (2,000rp small bottle, 3,000rp large)
KAFE is an internet hotspot (1 hour 50 minutes for 50,000rp)
The consensus on KAFE was pretty good. The place is longhair friendly, although a few of the ‘Seminyak soccer moms’ try to break in there. You can relax, and read a book on the comfortable cushions, sit inside at watch the people go by or sit inside at a table.
