Pels Supershop

The OG vegan spot Peloton, now the new and improved Pels, introduced Canggu to the plant-based vibe and inspired so many cafes and restaurants to come. I almost forgot this crowd favourite is Vegan, but that is exactly what makes it so iconic. The first of its kind back in 2015, when the culture of avocado toasts and lattes was at its peak, Pels went ahead and did it all from plants; This made plants cool and the vegan diet much more accessible.

They do a great job of being nonchalant vegan, attracting all kinds of customers and leaving everyone happy with their modern interior, delicious menu and enthusiastic staff. Serving all the best things in life including vegan burgers, nasi campur & smoothie bowls, Pels even opened a pizza shop right around the corner with homemade vegan cheese and perfect crust; Add a Henrys root beer as a digestive and you won’t have to choose between the classic San Remo tomato base and the star of the show – Paso Santa Maria, aka the potato pizza. What better way to compensate than to join Pels neighbourhood community run every Friday morning at 6 am after which you can enjoy a 30% discount at the café. I recommend the powerhouse bowl which packs all the things the body needs and ties them in with homemade pesto. The people behind this shining vegan star are active in sustainability projects and dedicated to improving life on the home island; it is clear a healthy and vegan lifestyle is encouraged but so is inclusiveness and community.
