Vegan Sweet Potato Ice-Cream

Two Trees Cafe, Canggu, bali
We past this cute little cafe every time we walked to the beach so it was only a matter of time we would duck in and try their food. Two Trees Cafe, is one of the newer cafes in Canggu, the day we arrived they had only opened for 78 days so it's still a little baby cafe but I fell head over heals for the decor. Light wood, white with the pops of yellow balanced with the plants is definitely a combination I would decorate my home with (however I'd use fake plants since i'm not the best at keeping them looking lively).

They had an interesting selection of smoothie bowls, a lot of them had an unique ingredient i've never seen in other standard smoothie bowl places like miso, activated charcoal, ashwagandha which I think is pretty cool that they came up with some original smoothie bowl recipes. I ordered the Green Fields Smoothie Bowl because I was in desperate need for some more greens in my life also because you can't have enough greens (Spinach, pineapple, banana, lime, pumpkin seed butter, spirulina moringa, coconut water). The taste was different it was more earthy and less sweet because it didn't have any berries in the base like normal smoothie bowl but I actually don't mind at all, I have more of a savoury tooth and a sweet tooth anyway. I have to say it wasn't isn't as thick as I would of liked it to be, I don't really like it when it comes out the consistency of soup and would of liked more toppings.

James however ordered the pancakes (Sweet potato and buckwheat pancakes with coconut yogurt & sweet potato ice cream) Too be honest I don't know why the pancakes were the colour they were 😅 like dark bluey green. I was super curious steal a taste of the sweet potato ice cream. Again is was so different than any other ice cream I had tasted before so it was hard to decide if I liked it or not also because the dish itself was quite small the pancakes were really pikelets and James really LOVED it so I didn't want to take too much for the tasting hahas. But lets just say if they were offering a bowl of sweet potato ice cream it I would still eat it all. He paired his pancakes with an iced coffee with coconut milk and that I can agree tasted amazing (for a coffee) and that's coming from me, a person that doesn't like coffee.

All in all, i think they did an amazing job of the decor and the food presentation, I really loved their unique spin on the dishes and I would love to come back one day to try their banana crumble cake. uhhh drool~





























Banh Mi & Beans

Back at university Banh Mi roll were one of the easiest and cheapest lunches to grab between classes. In Sydney there was a little store that was pretty much a hole in the wall however they had the best Banh Mi rolls I have tried and for only $4.50 from what I can remember.
Fast forward now to my time in Bali, we stumbled into this cafe purely because it is close to our airbnb and my boyfriend needed coffee. I saw on the menu they had a tofu Banh Mi and I had to try it for lunch the next day. We both got the tofu Banh Mi and man it was SO freaking good (we got it two more time for lunch afterwards) that saying a lot because before trying these Banh Mi roll my boyfriend were not a fan of then. Tip is if you want them vegan, you just need to ask them to not add any mayonnaise.
