Coffee, Catchups, and Converse: Mentorship Moments in Denpasar

July 22, 2025

There’s something so refreshing about spending time with young, vibrant minds — it’s like your own brain lights up to match their joy and wonder for the world. ✨ Yes, I’ve got nearly double the years on these girls, and yes, I did accidentally wear my dorky rubber shoes (reserved strictly for clay class, thank you very much) out in public. Why? Who knows — brain fart moment as I bolted out the door! 😂 But shoes aside, catching up with Asha and Putri at a cute little spot called SAGA in Denpasar was such a treat. It’s close to their uni which makes things easier, and we were checking in to see how they’re going juggling work for BFF with study (because, as we’ve always told them, school comes first). The café itself felt like a time capsule in the best possible way — old-school and new school records on the walls, that unmistakable nod to ‘70s furniture… It reminded me that everything old becomes new again. And even though I’m an '80s baby, I’ve got a soft spot for all things retro. Also, let it be known: possibly the best omelette I’ve ever eaten was consumed here. Asha will back me up on this. Seriously, if you’re in the area — go hungry. It was one of those lovely, grounding days filled with chats, catchups, laughter, and good food… and yes, slightly questionable footwear choices. But most of all, it reminded me how lucky we are to work with kind, clever, creative people who keep our minds and hearts wide open. #ChadAndMiaOfficial #BaliFamilyFinds #MentorshipMatters #CafeHoppingBali #RetroVibesOnly #DenpasarEats #YoungMindsBrightFutures #WorkCatchups #RubberShoesAndAll #MiaMoments #BaliBusinessLife

There’s something magical about mentorship moments that blend laughter, learning, and a side of perfectly cooked omelette. One sunny afternoon in Denpasar, I caught up with Asha and Putri—two vibrant young women balancing university classes and creative work with BFF—at a little café gem called SAGA. Nestled conveniently close to their campus, the café promised more than just good coffee. It delivered nostalgia, nourishment, and needed heart-to-hearts. SAGA’s charm is timeless: ‘70s-style furniture, vintage records adorning the walls, and that cozy ambiance that makes you want to linger. As someone who grew up in the ‘80s (and somehow wore rubber shoes better suited for pottery class—oops!), the place felt like stepping into a warm, retro hug. Over iced lattes and what might genuinely be the best omelette in Bali—Asha agrees—we talked about balancing deadlines and degrees, creative energy, and why it’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. It reminded me why we do what we do: to connect, support, and inspire each other. For families visiting Bali, especially those traveling with teens or young adults, Denpasar offers more than just city bustle. Places like SAGA provide a unique window into local student life and the creativity bubbling beneath Bali’s surface. It’s a wonderful way to experience authentic connections off the usual tourist trail. So, if you find yourself in Denpasar, wear whatever shoes you want (we won’t judge), pull up a chair at SAGA, order the omelette, and soak it all in. The coffee’s strong, the conversations even stronger, and who knows—you might just leave with your heart a little fuller. #BaliFamilyFinds #MentorshipMoments #CafeCultureDenpasar #AuthenticBali #RetroCaféVibes #TravelWithHeart
