Café Moka on Jalan Seminyak is a place I tend to visit quite often.
It’s a French owned café that caters to a mainly European clientele and serves good pastries and coffee and well as a dinner menu. I‘ve often thought about which restaurants and bars here are doing the best, who has actually got the formula and the execution down to where they are making a consistent profit.
My questions were answered as far as Café Moka recently when I heard they had just opened a new branch in the Umalas area, which is on the road to Globe café (keep going about a mile and you’ll run into it).
I rode out there today not really knowing where it was but having a basic idea. After passing rows of local houses and the occasional local shop I thought ‘man I’m getting into the paddy fields here, this has to be the wrong way’. I turned one more corner and there was the new Café Moka sitting right next to the paddy fields.
The new place is smaller than the original with stools and counters rather than circular tables and chairs. The menu is the same as well as the prices.
I probably won’t be making the trip out here unless I go to Global Xtreme which is fairly close by. The original Café Moka is very close to my house and I like the elbow-room.
I shows though how the expat scene is slowly expanding into Kerobokan, Umalas, Canggu and other areas. You can expect other cool little places like Café Moka and Warung Gossip to sprout up over the next year.
