Helo Cafe by Bapak Bakery (Jl. Sudirman): Tiny Door, Homey Core, Black Burger for 25k, and Donuts That Don’t Pose
3:40 PM
Diet lasted 1.5 episodes; friendship and fried things staged a coup. We ducked into Helo Cafe by Bapak Bakery. Outside looks mini, parking looks optimistic, but inside it’s homey, air-conned, with music, books, Wi-Fi, and the kind of lighting that forgives nothing but you stay anyway.
PS: “Bapak Bakery” = the Kerobokan bakery from the same owner (hence the name).
Vibe & where
Address: Jl. Sudirman 19, Denpasar. Close to Udayana University and schools.
Room: compact, cozy, book rack, background music, AC.
Study date energy: real (we opened a book and… talked for an hour).
Menu snapshot & prices (what I saw/paid)
They list a few mains (rotating weekly specials), plus cakes. But early morning = display still waking up (I only saw cheesecake and donuts then).
Burger (Black bun, chicken): Rp25k
Donut: Rp10k
Green Tea Latte / Cappuccino: Rp19k each
Tax: none added on my bill (assume included)
What we ordered
🍔 “Black Cock” Burger, IDR 25k
My first black bun moment. Flavor = normal burger (bun a tad firm), chicken filling nice, price suspiciously friendly (black buns elsewhere start ~Rp40k). No fries, but at 25k, I’m not negotiating.
🍩 Donut IDR 10k
Not IG bait, actually tasty, soft dough, not too sweet.
Next time: two, no photos, witness protection.
☕ Cappuccino & 🟩 Green Tea Latte IDR 19k each
Friend said her previous cappuccino here tasted slightly different; today’s was still good. Green tea latte = cozy sweater in a cup.
Creepy cat..
Pros & cons (speed run)
Pros
- 💸 Student-friendly prices (10k - 25k zone for our picks)
- 📶 Wi-Fi, 🎶 music, 📚 books, ❄️ AC (the quadfecta)
- 🍩 Donut’s balance (not tooth-aching)
- 🧾 Tax included on our tab
Cons
- 🅿️ Tiny parking; consider ride-hail
- 🍰 Cakes roll out later (AM display may be bare)
- ☕ Minor coffee consistency variance across visits
- 🍔 Black bun leans firm (if you’re a soft-bun romantic)
Tips to win your hangout
- Coming early? Expect limited cakes; noon+ for a fuller display.
- Burger as a snack, donut as dessert, coffee as alibi.
- If picky about coffee, mention your preference (stronger/less sweet).
- Bring a laptop; outlets + Wi-Fi make this a gentle assignment bunker.
pretty recommend this place for hangout with friend
