Genius Cafe Sanur
Menu clearly marks vegan options and the cafe is popular with vegans for its variety—nachos, pizza with vegan cheese, tempeh shawarma, smoothie bowls, and desserts. However, the kitchen is shared and there is some confusion on the menu (some vegetarian items are marked vegan when they aren't, e.g. pizza crust sometimes contains honey). A few reviewers noted honey served with vegan-labelled dishes. Overall a good choice for vegans who are comfortable checking details with staff, but not reliably safe for strict vegans who avoid any cross-contact.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Many vegetarian options are labelled on the menu, including bowls, curries, pizzas, and breakfast dishes. The kitchen serves meat as well, so the shared setup is fine for most vegetarians. Menu confusion exists around vegan vs vegetarian labelling (some dishes marked vegan are actually vegetarian due to honey or dairy), so double-checking is wise.

Not recommended, Documented unsafe for this allergen: refuses to accommodate, multiple bad reports, or a documented incident. Surfaced as a warning rather than a recommendation.
Despite listing GF items on the menu and marking them clearly, Genius Cafe Sanur cannot safely serve people with coeliac disease. Multiple coeliac reviewers report being turned away at the table—staff explicitly state the shared kitchen, single flat cooktop, and shared utensils make cross-contamination unavoidable. One diner with coeliac reported their daughter got sick after eating a labelled GF burger. A Dutch-language review explicitly warns 'niet geschikt voor mensen met coeliakie.' The kitchen has no dedicated fryer and staff acknowledge they cannot guarantee safety. This is a reliable option only for gluten-avoidant, not coeliac, diners.
Honest caveat: Multiple coeliac diners report being refused service or getting ill; the kitchen is shared with no dedicated equipment.
