Our Favourite Cafes In Bali: Brunch To Dinner And The Best Coffee
Kynd Community Bali, Seminyak/Canggu/Uluwatu
The original location in Seminyak is an iconic spot for vegan food, weekend markets, and aesthetic brunches. Now, they have branches in Canggu and Uluwatu, too!
Everything on the menu is completely vegan: breakfast, burgers, shawarma, pasta, and even ice cream. Our favourites are Buddha bowl, mushroom pesto, and Biscoff ice cream.

Hungy Bird, Canggu
A cozy place where you can get nice sandwiches, casual brunch classics and really good coffee – they roast themselves and supply blends to other cafes, too.
The top pick for us here is pancakes: they come plain or with different toppings and are super affordable.
Plus, the space they had for 10+ years just got a nice makeover, so come visit!

Revolver, Canggu
The coffee culture in Bali is huge! First of all, Bali and Indonesia, in general, grow and roast coffee, and second, the sheer number of expats and foreigners needing a cup of latte in the morning boosted the market.
One of the go-to spots to have your morning coffee in Canggu is Revolver on the shortcut. You enjoy coffee and people watching. We get cheese toasties or chia pudding, and flat white.
They have locations in Seminyak and at the international airport, and they sell beans, too, so you can take them home.

Monsieur Spoon, Canggu
A famous chain of French pastry shops across the island. Come here for a pain au chocolat or a salmon bagel, and enjoy a slow morning.
The biggest cafes are in Canggu and Petitenget. We like the one in Canggu, it has a nice outdoor seating, laid back vibes, and walking distance from Batu Bolong Beach.

Milk And Madu Beach Road, Canggu
Milk and Madu have a few locations; the one in Berawa is very family-friendly with a playground, but the sister location on Batu Bolong Beach Street is our personal favourite. Big, airy space, and great choice of brunch classics.
Beyond breakfast and brunch, the kitchen also makes amazing wood-fired pizzas, and the bar has delicious and creative cocktails.
We usually come to live music nights to relax with some burrata pizza and a dessert.

Satu Satu Coffee Company, Canggu
Satu Satu is one of the go-to spots for morning coffee and meet-ups that coffee enthusiasts will love as they use fancy Syneso 3 coffee machines.
You’ll find good food: classic breakfast dishes with a few vegan options. We stick to basics and get eggs Benedict or one of the smoothie bowls (Lady Gaga bowl seems to be quite popular).
Note that their opening hours are till 4 PM only.

One of the new cafes in Bali that has just become instantly a favourite in the neighbourhood! Delicious food, very cozy island vibes atmosphere, and great service.
The menu features all the international classics, from poached eggs to huevos rancheros for breakfast, Indonesian fried rice (nasi goreng), fish and chips, Thai dishes, and many more culinary delights.

Bread Basket, Sanur
Break Basket is a big chain, but our favourite cafe is in Sanur – super cozy show with old bicycles and warm wooden accents.
A simple cafe to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy baked-in-house fresh pastries, their savoury delights like fresh salads and smoked salmon bagels, or a slice of heavenly sweet carrot cake.
Plus, it is just a few steps from the beach.

Sisterfields, Seminyak
One of the Aussies’ favourite cafes in Seminyak is Sisterfields, thanks to the brunch menu and central location right next to the Seminyak Village mall, market, and shopping streets.
It is a great place for a casual bite or a meetup with friends.
The menu has so many delicious and vibrant dishes, but the must-try, in our opinion, is the acai berry bowl, the lamb salad, and the bacon Benedict.

Watercress Cafe, Seminyak/Ubud
This trendy cafe has Seminyak and Ubud locations, both very cozy and green.
In Ubud, we pick the table upstairs and go on a live music night or to have a brunch, as they have an offer for eggs Benedict, chia pudding, and a cup of rich espresso or juice for 170,000 IDR (17 AUD).
The menu is big and you’ll find healthy food for lunch and dinner with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Everything is made with fresh local ingredients.

The Shady Shack, Canggu
One of the hippest cafes in Canggu with delicious vegan food and raw desserts (you have to try the raw snickers).
Super relaxed, inviting atmosphere of a garden-cafe with smoothie bowls, savoury breakfast dishes, superfood salads and bowls, and many things that will surprise your taste buds.
To drink, they offer kombucha, coffee with dairy and alternative milks, and healthy immune boosters.

This cafe has a unique location for animal lovers – right next to a horse stable, so you can admire these gracious creatures while enjoying delectable cuisine.
The portions are always super generous, and their signature dish is the fluffiest pancakes you’ll find on the island! They come with various toppings and flavours, too.
If you’re not into pancakes, order chicken and waffles – it always hits the spot.

Sari Kitchen & Community by Ekosistem, Canggu
An upscale cafe in Batu Bolong with a laptop-friendly setup and unique architecture. It is worth the visit just to explore!

The Fat Turtle, Seminyak
This locally-owned cafe is well known in the neighbourhood for aesthetic presentation, delicious food, and exceptional service.

Coffee Cartel, Seminyak
We love this spot – it is so airy, spacious, with lots of light. Great place to sit down and catch up with friends.
Breakfast and brunch staples are made with high-quality ingredients, and the coffee uses only their own premium blends. You can get anything from cold brew to a beetroot latte (with cute art!).
We also often come for lunch to get the lunch bowl with a local twist – Bali Bowl is packed with veggies and sambal.

Alchemy Bali, Uluwatu/Canggu/Ubud
We absolutely love the Ulwatu location, especially when they have live music in the morning, unlike pretty much all other places that only do live music in the evening.
Also love the format: you can order a la carte, or you can browse the salad bar and dessert buffet and point at the things you like. All food is plant-based, and most of it is also completely gluten-free.
There is also a fantastic store with organic beauty products and some cooking ingredients, and a sun-drenched space outdoors to chill.
That being said, their Canggu or Ubud locations are also amazing: great coffee, good food, sustainable architecture, and cool vibes.

Nook, Umalas
Crowd-favourite cafe in Umalas (just outside Canggu) with charming rice field views and yummy smoothie bowls, Indonesian food, and a selection of signature cocktails.
It is incredibly spacious, and can accomodate even big groups.
Indonesian and Balinese food is actually great here, if you don’t mind overpaying a bit.
Best to come by bike, car parking gets a bit tricky when the cafe is full.

Avocado Factory, Canggu
Everything at this cafe is with avocado, so if you’re looking for the best avocado toast in Bali, start here.
The menu covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The highlights are eggs Benedict, avocado smoothie, and, of course, an avo toast with truffle sauce.
The space itself is amazing for chilling, meeting friends, checking some emails, and getting some work done.

Tanah Uluwatu Bakery, Uluwatu
Brunch in the garden sounds like a fine dining experience, but it is just an everyday thing at Tanah Bakery.
It is more than just a bakery, though; they have an impressive menu of food and drinks, from acai smoothie bowls and pizza to vegan wraps. We had breakfast croissants, and they were good.

Nourish Cafe, Berawa
Open from 6 AM, this cafe is great for early birds. The rice paddies view from the back of the cafe adds to the vibes, too.
They have a great choice of healthy food on the menu: bowls, chia and granola jars, vegan wraps with jackfruit, poke bowls, bagels, and even healthier burgers.
There are also two more branches in Uluwatu and Ungasan, but the Berawa location remains our favourite.

Bokashi, Berawa
Bokashi is an organic food store, a tea house and a cafe. The upstairs seating space feels like somewhere in Japan and is very intimate.
They have a dynamic menu, as they only use local seasonal ingredients, but their brunch and Japan-inspired lunch dishes are always sophisticated and delicious. First time? Try breakfast bento.

Sensorium, Canggu
Started by an Australian chef as a small cafe in Batu Bolong, Sensorium grew to a viral spot that people come to visit from all across Asia.
The food is creative and delicious, so you can be sure that an unforgettable dining experience is guaranteed.
The downside, though, is a messy “no booking but get on the waiting list at the door” situation that sometimes can turn into an hour+ wait.

07 AM Baker’s Club, Umalas

Nude is a modern café with a lively atmosphere and great food, with branches in Berawa, Babakan, Pererenan, and Umalas.
They make fantastic burgers (and have 2-for-1 nights), and serve a breakfast menu all day long. Smoothie bowls and dishes with eggs, like shakshuka or eggs Benedict, are very tasty.

You may know their branch in Berawa, but if you want to escape the crowds, drive to the Seseh location.
We love the Reuben sandwich, but the chef’s menu has plenty of other food options, with some healthy dishes, like vegan pancakes (crepes). They also serve great coffee!

ZIN Cafe, Canggu
Laid back vibes, AC room to work, big menu, and close to the beach – ZIN Cafe ticks all the boxes to be one of our favourite cafes.
The spot is super popular among digital nomads, and some days they have a little crafts and jewellery market upfront.
Food is multinational, covering everything from smoothie bowls to pizza and homemade ice cream. Their drinks menu is also something extraordinary – they even have sparkling coffee!

Rise And Shine, Canggu
One of the most popular breakfast cafes on Bali’s café scene, where you can get a comforting burrito or a glass of mimosa with the girls.
We love the staff here; girls and boys are always friendly, smiling, and quick with service.
Our go-to is brisket burrito, but be prepared, the portion is huge, and you may have leftovers for lunch.

Openhouse Cafe, Pererenan
Openhouse is a very cool, rustic, brunch spot with great coffee, generously sized plates, and house music in the background.
Everything tastes fresh, home-cooked, and the presentation is restaurant-level. Our recommendations would be to try the carnivore brekky with steak, fish tacos, and Turkish eggs.

A popular cafe in Uluwatu by Padang Padang Beach with affordable prices.

Umane is a stylish cafe with rice field views that is great for both morning coffee and sunset cocktails.

If coming from Canggu, check the traffic; the area gets pretty busy during rush hours.

Suka Espresso, Ubud/Uluwatu
Suka Espresso in Ubud and Uluwatu have lovely brunch dishes and are always busy with visitors.
Coffee is amazing at Suka, and what we like about the breakfast menu is the simple pricing – you get a few options all for 60,000 IDR / 6 AUD (plus tax). You can, of course, order a la carte, too.

One of our favourite spots in Ubud, overall. Such a quirky place with upcycled plastic chairs, excellent coffee, and desserts.
They are one of the OG of the coffee culture on the Bali cafe scene – they are geeks about coffee, have different preparation methods and blends for you to choose from. You can buy a bag of beans, too!
