Pomegranate Ubud Review: Rice-Field Walk, Wide-Lens Chaos, and a One-Hour Pizza Plot Twist

9:54 PM

Went to Pomegranate on a short Ubud holiday with a friend. It’s not on the main street.

You’ll find it along Jl. Subak Sok Wayah, tucked in the rice fields like a secret level.

Getting there (so you don’t rage-quit)

No cars. There’s a narrow alley before the café; you must walk or come by motorbike.

The walk is actually lovely: rice fields, shade from trees, and a breeze that forgives your sunscreen choices. Consider it pre-meal cardio.

First impressions

Met a very good dog at the entrance. 10/10 would adopt (but I behaved).

wide views over sawah

Open pavilion with a cloth roof (?)

Where to sit (day vs night)

Daytime: best for views and fewer mosquitoes.

Night (my premonition): super romantic with candles… and then the mosquitoes clock in. Pack repellent if you value your ankles.

I used a wide lens so everything looks extra cinematic; sorry for the blur, it’s an artistic choice (it isn’t).

What we ordered

I was already full (we’d eaten 2 hours earlier), so we chilled and split a pizza.

Bonita Pizza IDR 58.000 (tax & service not included)

Wi-Fi was good (my friend posted our “we walked here” flex immediately).

The plot twist

We waited about 1 hour for the pizza. Staff said the oven was broken, then someone who ordered after us got theirs first. Character development achieved; patience unlocked.

Service & vibe

Staff were polite; just unlucky timing with the oven drama.
Atmosphere is relaxing, great for long chats and pretending deadlines aren’t real.

Pros & cons (quick scan)

Pros

🌾 Beautiful rice-field walk
🌬️ Breezy, open pavilion with a thatched roof
📶 Reliable Wi-Fi
🐶 Cute dog greeting committee
🧘 Perfect for unhurried lunch & conversation

Cons

🚗 No car access (walk or motorbike only)
🦟 Mosquitoes might ask you for a date at night, bring spray if you don't want to.
⏳ Potential long wait (our oven incident)

Tips if you go

Wear comfortable shoes for the path.
Daytime visit if you want photos; evening if you want candlelit vibes (and bring repellent).
If the kitchen’s busy, ask for an ETA before ordering; grab a drink and settle into the view.

Anyway, I love to spend my time in here, I feel relaxed!
