Genius Cafe Sanur is a plant-forward breakfast and brunch cafe on Jl. Kusuma Sari in Sanur, the coastal district of Denpasar in Bali, Indonesia. Sanur is a long-established beach area on the island's southeast side, known for its calm shallow waters, a seafront promenade and a steady community of long-stay visitors and expatriates. Cafes serving health-oriented food have become a regular part of the district's dining scene, and Genius Cafe fits that pattern.

The cuisine is healthy brunch. Signature dishes listed for the venue are smashed avocado, organic scrambled eggs and acai bowl. Smashed avocado is the classic toast-based breakfast popular in Bali's cafes, the scrambled eggs are described as organic, and the acai bowl is a chilled blended fruit base topped with fruit and granola. Together they define a menu aimed at travellers and residents who prefer lighter, fresher morning food than the fried staples found at traditional warung.

The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, with no dress code and moderate noise levels typical of a daytime cafe. Many cafes of this type in Sanur use open-air or semi-open seating, though the layout of this venue is not confirmed. The beverage list can be expected to centre on coffee, fresh juices and smoothies rather than alcohol, and there is no notable wine programme.

Hours are listed as daily from 07:00 to 22:00, covering breakfast through a late dinner. Prices are moderate: roughly IDR 80,000 to 150,000 per person, about US$4.50 to 8.50, an estimate that depends on the dishes and drinks chosen. Reservations are generally unnecessary and the cafe accepts walk-ins, though larger groups are advised to message or call the venue ahead. Weekend mornings and the mid-morning brunch period are likely to be the busiest, so arriving at opening or in the afternoon typically gives an easier table. The location near Jl. Kusuma Sari places it within walking distance of the Sanur promenade, making it a convenient stop before or after a beach walk. Travellers with dietary preferences, including vegetarian, can usually find suitable choices on plant-forward menus, but should confirm ingredients with the staff.
