Coffee bar with local choices. A big food selection, but unfortunately they cannot make most of it within a reasonable time. And they only serve coffee related drinks. The staff is super friendly and will arrange other drinks not on the menu.

We had an amazing experience at Istana Sehat in Ende! The locals recommended this cafe to us, and we are so glad they did. All the food is freshly made with local ingredients. We loved experiencing the authentic dishes supporting local farms! We are vegan and asked the employees if we could order vegetarian dishes that don’t contain eggs or dairy. We had rice with beans, dagalai eggplant, tempeh & tofu in a tomato sauce, and rampu-rampe. Everything was bursting in flavor and so delicious!! The highlight of our experience were the sweet girls who served us. They gave us exceptional service and warmed our hearts with joy. They were so kind and generous, working very hard to give us the best experience possible. We would absolutely recommend this place. 20/10. :)

Great spot for coffee and snacks with a nice view of the beach. They have a variety of speciality coffee at a reasonable price, especially considering the beachside location.

Visited twice for dinner. Great value for money, would come again. Very nice food (vegan & vegetarian available) and friendly service. You can sit outside at the seafront. Coffee looks good as well.
