Welcome to SOI 19 A Sweet New Chapter Inside Manaw
Media Release/Publicity 25 July,2025
Seminyak, Bali – There’s something new brewing at Manaw, and it smells like fresh coffee, tastes like Thai milk tea gelato, and feels like your favorite café just got even cozier. Say hello to SOI 19, a charming little spot nestled inside the elegant space of Manaw, where Asian street culture meets laid-back brunch comfort. It’s casual, cozy, a little nostalgic, and most of all, delicious.
The name SOI 19 comes from the Thai word “soi,” meaning street, and from the café’s home on Jalan Petitenget No. 19. But it’s more than a name. It reflects the everyday spirit behind this place. SOI 19 is inspired by those comforting food stalls you stumble upon in the middle of a busy street, the ones that always seem to know exactly what you’re craving. That’s the kind of feeling you get when you step inside. Nothing fancy. Just a genuine love for good food and good company.
At its heart, SOI 19 is a dessert-forward café. The Honey Butter Toast is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of indulgent. The Cold Brew is smooth and refreshing, and the Thai milk tea gelato is the kind of treat you don’t forget anytime soon. But don’t be fooled by the dessert spotlight. The brunch here deserves a seat at the table too.
The savory side of the menu brings serious flavor, starting with the Salapao Sai Poo; soft, pillowy buns stuffed with fried soft shell crab that’s equal parts crispy and rich. Then there’s Pad Thai Gong, a street-side staple made with chewy rice noodles, plump prawns, tofu, and just the right balance of sweet, salty, and tangy. Gai Hor Bai Toey adds a fragrant twist with juicy, marinated chicken wrapped in pandan leaves and fried until golden. Every dish feels familiar but a little exciting, made for easy mornings, late lunches, or that one meal that turns into three because you just couldn’t leave.
SOI 19 is calm and cozy, with soft light, welcoming corners, and a come-as-you-are kind of vibe.
It’s tucked inside Manaw, but brings its own playful energy, less polished, more laid-back, and full of heart. Some guests swing by for a quick Bingsoo fix on a hot afternoon, others settle in for a long, chatty brunch, or drift through a solo coffee moment with no agenda at all. There’s no right or wrong way to be here. However you spend your time, SOI 19 has a way of making it feel just right. It’s simple, sweet, and the kind of place you’ll want to come back to.
So if you find yourself wandering along Jalan Petitenget, keep an eye out for No. 19. Step inside Manaw, and follow the comforting scent of coffee and caramelized toast. You just might discover your new favorite spot.
