Had a few meals here. Always well cooked and presented, even when using the takeaway option, or delivery, which is free. The donuts are fantastic along with the weekly/ daily specials.
I adore this place. The donuts are incredible, I almost want to drive back from ubud now for some more. The whole place has lots of heart and you can tell the owner has made the cafe they wished for the world, not just a business.
What’s beautiful spot. It’s quite difficult to find a coffee shop in Candidasa, but this one hit the spot.
We had a superb coffee and cake stop. You must try the Dutch pancake and Lemon tart. Service is friendly too
When in Candidasa, I always come to WJ cafe. The service is friendly and helpful. I love the Australian menu for when I want a taste of back home. Always fresh food and tasty. Thank you to the staff for always making g this a great place to eat.
Wacky Jacky's is definitely worth a visit! Their coffee is fantastic, and the breakfasts deliver exactly what you'd hope for with bacon, eggs, and toast – a comforting classic. But the real stars of the show are their crispy doughnuts; they are so good, they're worth a special trip all on their own! You'll find Wacky Jacky's conveniently located right on the main street, close to the beautiful lotus lagoon. Interestingly, there's also a whole world of quilting to explore there if that's something you enjoy. So, for the best coffee, delicious pastries, and a satisfying Western breakfast in town, make sure to stop by. The only minor drawback is that the service can be a tad slow, but the staff are friendly, and hey, you're likely on vacation, so take it easy and relax!
Donuts were fantastic, freshly made and delicious. Cinnamon sugar was just right and the jam filled one's were sweet and fluffy
Found this cafe on YouTube and made it a must visit on our recent trip. So so glad I did. Delicious crispy doughnuts, amazing iced coffee. Would love to have tried more food but we were still full from our breakfast that morning. Beautiful little cafe with some great local artwork and great service. Definitely recommend coming here.
