Authentic Artsy RestaurantI'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!

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.

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

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 & coVegetarian 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.

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!

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!

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.
