I've now been to the Glasshouse on several occasions and I have to say that now the chef has understood how a poached egg is cooked, I really can't fault the food and drinks. However, this cafe also has the most inattentive staff I have encountered in Sanur. It rather spoils a visit when you have to go and find... More

Had a couple breakfasts, multiple coffees, and lunch here while we were in Bali. Friendly wait staff and the food/coffee were delicious. Not super speedy quick service but being on vacation we weren't too concerned with that. The chocolate cake was a special treat for our 4-year-old and it did not disappoint!

Walked in off the street and was going to try a coffee but didn't end up having one.. Thought a bit pricey and only a small coffee machine, and im not sure how one justifies charging melbourne prices for coffee when costs are so much lower here for wages etc. But had a slice of lemon meringue.. It was proudly... More

It's a pity you didn' t try our coffee as you would have found that it is better than any coffee you will find in Melbourne!! In fact the price of it reflects the fact that the coffee is imported, from Australia and not Bali coffee. Also, our costs at the Glass House are not low, as each member of... More

Stop in for a coffee and a slice of the best, and richest, chocolate cake on the island! Also serving lemon meringue pie, apple pie and carrot cake... Oh, and breakfast and lunch if you're not so into the cakes!

Stopped for some respite from the heat and had a great Glass Noodle salad and fresh juice. The service is a little slow if you are in a hurry, but if taking your time is the go it is fine. The added bonus is there is a little retail section that is selling bed linen and towels. Saved a trip... More

When the sign out front says..Best Coffee in Sanur"...you just have to test them!! It was strong (as requested)...and it was very good. A last minute briuch (tempted in by the sign) was well worth it. The Chicken Burger was tender, , succulent, and the brides summation "YUM!". My Tuna melt was very nice.

We came to this place so my husband can finally have a nice coffee and he really loved it. It was pooring rain so we stayed for another one. I ordered smoothie and a fresh juice and they were also delicious and not so sweet as in all other places. Staff was very friendly, thank you.

thank you very much for your compliments. If we can serve great coffee to Dutch people, i reckon we are doing ok. The Glass House is a great sanctuary from the rain for sure and next time you visit everything will be waterproof too. Come back soon. More

On the particular day you were at The Glass House a customer came up to the counter and asked for a piece of apple pie. My staff repeated their order as "a cup of espresso" I was sitting there and immediately said one word "Listen" . I did not berate the staff, I asked her to listen to the customer.... More
