Nestled at Jalan Raya Petitenget No. 888 in Seminyak, Biku Bali presents itself more as a restaurant than a mere coffee shop. My visit led me to indulge in a steaming cup of hot ginger tea while Fafa savoured a velvety latte. However, it’s their famed high tea that truly takes the spotlight, an experience that can be transformed into a high coffee for those seeking a twist.
The interior exudes a colonial charm, adorned with delicate china, ceramic dolls, and glass drawers. As a devotee of vintage aesthetics, I found myself entranced, unable to divert my gaze from the myriad captivating details. Biku Bali isn’t just a place to savour beverages; it’s an immersive journey, inviting exploration through sight, touch, and taste. A central table, generously laden with an assortment of pastries, serves as a focal point, beckoning patrons to partake in the culinary delights on display.
For those with a penchant for mysticism, Biku Bali offers tarot readings from 1 to 5 PM, a unique addition to the culinary experience, available at a reasonable $10. To secure your spot, it’s advisable to book online in advance.
Beyond the culinary and mystical offerings, another gem awaits in the corner of the restaurant—a modest bookshop. Here, I couldn’t resist the allure and walked away with a book and a postcard depicting a Balinese girl. This quaint corner adds a literary charm to the overall ambience, making Biku Bali a multifaceted destination that caters to diverse tastes and interests.
In essence, Biku Bali isn’t merely a place to satisfy one’s gastronomic cravings; it’s a haven for those seeking an immersive experience, where the colonial-inspired decor, delectable treats, mystical divinations, and a charming book nook converge to create a delightful tapestry for the senses.
