👍👍 Such a lovely cafe! Unique decorations, great local food. I came to eat there two days in a row. I had banana lassi and nasi goreng both times. So delicious! Nasi goreng comes with a twist - it’s served with pineapple. People often mention nice, cafe, owner, juice, good, great, fruit, friendly,

    Water Castle Cafe is the perfect hole-in-the-wall cafe if you’re looking for delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere. The cafe is situated on the edge of a maze of local houses, so it’s the perfect place to be if you want to explore after enjoying a meal. The cafe seats around 12 so it’s not overly crowded. The prices are mid ranged but the food is most certainly worth it. I had the Mie Kuah Vegetables while my partner had the Nasi Campur. Mie Kuah comprised of: broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, star fruit, noodles and onion swimming in a fragrant vegetable broth. It packed tonnes of flavour and little spice. Nasi Campur contained similar vegetables but was quite spicy - be warned if you can’t handle your heat.

    Love the foods and drinks. For the food I ordered Mie Goreng Campur. It's very unique because the fried noodle mixed vegetables and with fruits. Weird? NO! It's delicious. The owner always chooses the best and fresh fruits. About the drink I ordered Mango Lassy. No sugar added. The sweetness is from the fruit mixed with yogurt. So yummy and creamy. All balance. Love love love. Very recommended! Especially the owner is very kind and very friendly. 😍 the atmosphere of Watercastle cafe is so artistic and simple but very enjoyable. Definitely will always back everytime I go to Yogyakarta. Thank you 🙏

    Food is tasty, not presented as authentic Indonesian though. Sort of a home cooked twist. Feels like you are inside someone's home. Some will like that others won't. Wasn't a fan of the toilet being near the kitchen and looks it's the family's bathroom. Probably the best option for food I the area. Drinks were good. Very affordable.

    Best pancakes in town! At the water castle, you find the Water Castle cafe. A true old Warung. It's small and full of art. The warm welcome and interesting drawings on the wall and ceiling will keep you busy for a while. They serve fresh juices and make very tasty pancakes (with fruit). Please use the extra 'stroop'! I'm happy to recommend these very friendly people in a historical place. Please note: It's hard to reach by car, as it's in the middle of the market (pasar). And walking around this pasar is already a fun experience. It's quiet and peaceful.

    We had the most special and most interesting Nasi Campur ever. The place is only open for lunch. The Special Sultan Tea is really good

    Access only by foot or scooter. Amazing little place in a little street. House full of decoration with a real identity. Nice staff and helpful. Good coffee, juice, food and pancakes. So happy to be able to choice some real vegetarian meals without asking no chicken & co Vegetarian meals with heaps vegetables. All we needed when everything is fried in Indonesia. Invoice more expensive than in other places but we were happy to pay this price because it’s the price of quality and good moment. For 2 black coffees, 1 juice, 2 meals and 2 pancakes we paid 176 k.

    Nice little cafe for breakfast, with the kindest staff, quite hidden in the local streets but worth it

    Randomly found this place while wandering around Taman Sari - and I'm very glad I did. The selection isn't overly big but I loved what I tried. The special nasi with fruit was delicious, a mix of sweet and spicy. The sultan tea was also great. There's also a selection of fruit juices, lassis, and hot drinks. An excellent place to relax and take a break from walking. The owner was very kind and welcoming. I really enjoyed the ambience. It was calm and cool but right off the back alley so it was a little lively as well. A real neighborhood feel to it. I'd definitely come back again!

    I love this place. It looks local and simple, but I know how much time they spent to set up the decoration. We had some tea and a fresh juice, and they were great. Recommended!

    Authentic Artsy Restaurant I've never given a 5 star review before, but this place deserves it. The food is authentic and inexpensive. The restaurant is a family run business and the ambiance is so peaceful. Art on every wall, from the "Alice in wonderland" experience when you step in the bathroom (you really need to experience it to know what I'm talking about) to the beautifully presented food. One of my favourite memories of the trip!

    What a wonderful, relaxed little place, hidden between the small houses around the Taman Sari. We went there for a bite to eat and a lemon juice, very tasty! Definetly come here after the visit to the temple for a bit of relaxing time!

    What a really nice place to have a drink and something to eat. One of the nicest places I've been to recently. It's a bit quirky but you really feel at home. Unbelievable toilets, it's a piece of art work 😊

    We had lunch here, and came back! Its a really nice place, the food is very tasty and we got a lot of vegetables which is nice. Also, for a very good price. The place itself is very chill and cute and the owners are very nice. Would recommend!!
