THE BEST CAFES IN CANGGU, BERAWA, PERERENAN & BEYOND
Where to eat breakfast, brunch and lunch in the ‘Gu
1. The Avocado Factory
Avocado on toast, avocado in our burgers, avocado whipped into our smoothie bowls and even chunks of avocado throughout our dipping sauces – if you ask us, there’s no such thing as ‘too much’ avocado. Well, it turns out that The Avocado Factory is as mad about nature’s green gift as we are, giving our morning go-to the recognition it deserves with a menu that’s all avo everything. Packed full of scrummy avocado-stuffed signatures, you’ll want to feast on all-time faves like the Avo Cheese Croissant XL, the Truffle Benedict with avocado and truffled hollandaise, and the broccoli toast with mashed avocado. Oh, and don’t forget alllll the avo-licious desserts…
The Avocado Factory, Jl Pantai Batu Mejan, Canggu, p. +62 813 3738 2521, e. [email protected]. Open daily from 7am.
2. Valle Bali
Sitting amongst the rice fields of Canggu, Valle Bali is a panoramic restaurant, bar and lounge where breakfast is served overlooking a glittering infinity pool. Paying homage to Bali’s natural beauty and culture, it’s a dreamy morning destination where you can graze on breakfast staples, wake up with great coffee, then settle in for the day to nibble on poolside tapas. The menu is all about healthy dishes made with high-quality ingredients, like the Avocado Toast served with beetroot hummus, or our fave, the crispy zucchini fritters. After grazing your way through the wholesome menu, unwind on the deck, take a dip in the sun-soaked pool, and stick around ‘til sunset for cocktails and live DJs. And unlike most pool clubs, there’s no minimum spend here, meaning everyone’s welcome to kick back at Valle Bali!
Valle Bali, Jl Padang Linjong No. 23, Canggu, p. +62 811 330 077. Open daily 9am – 10pm.
3. Ricky D’s Canteen
Born in Melbourne, raised in Canggu, Ricky D’s is our go-to Australian-style surf cafe for a post-beach refuel. The brainchild of two Aussies who know exactly what we need in the morning – AKA awesome coffee, ooey-gooey toasties and classic brekkie staples – Ricky D’s is where we fill up on chunky sandwiches alongside our morning cuppa. We can never go past the smoked ham and mozzarella toastie, or the Ricky D’s fave, the chicken schnitzel sandwich stuffed with fresh tomato, red onion, dill, lettuce and mayo. Wash it all down with the Island Time smoothie – a tropical concoction of mango, strawberry, vanilla protein and coconut water – and while you’re at it, browse through the Canggu-inspired merch in nautical blue and white. Be quick though, it usually sells out the moment it hits the racks!
Ricky D’s Canteen, Jl Nelayan No. 32, Canggu, e. [email protected]. Open daily from 7am.
4. Little Frenchie
Bringing the flavours of France to Bali, Little Frenchie is a charming French bistro that sits among the tranquil streets of Pererenan. Envisioned by the simplicity of French cuisine, Little Frenchie is where you can swing by for a long and leisurely brunch, then stick around in the bright and modern interiors for a late lunch or semi-formal dinner. We say, start the day with a French omelette or the buttery Lobster Benny, best paired with a perfectly brewed latte, or even a bubbly Mimosa. As afternoon swings around, tuck into generous baguettes, like the shredded duck and shaved fennel. Or, graze on the Fruits De Mer Grilles served with country bread, and finish with the creamy-yet-crunchy crème brûlée. It’s the perfect place to prop-up streetside and watch the world go by, or to dive into a good book with a parade of French brunch classics… Bon appétit!
Little Frenchie, Jl Munduk Kedungu No. 39, Pererenan, p. +62 813 6168 1146, e. [email protected]; Open daily 9am – 10pm.
5. Buongiorno by Sa’Mesa
As the little sister of Sa’Mesa – Bali’s award-winning Italian-inspired restaurant – you know that Buongiorno is guaranteed to be a goodie. Literally translating into “Good Morning” in Italian, that’s precisely what Buongiorno dishes up: a very good morning filled with potent coffee, brunchy cocktails and a hearty menu of pies, rolls, paninis and delicious sweets. We love that these guys have teamed up with the most talented local bakers and pastry chefs on the island, creating a compact little bakery and cafe that serves one of the fastest breakfasts in town (we regularly pop in to grab a chicken parmigiana focaccia on the way to the beach!). Bonus points go to the homemade products and house-crafted produce, all of which are cooked all night long to be ready for you in the morning.
Buongiorno by Sa’Mesa, Jl Padang Linjong No. 49D, Canggu, p. +62 812 5222 7303, e. [email protected]. Open daily 6am – 6pm.
6. Milk & Madu
Everyone loves this absolute jewel of a café on the quiet road to Berawa, and for good reason. Amazing all-day breakfasts are followed by sumptuous lunches and delectable dinners, finished off with good vibes and a family friendly setting. Try The Madu poached eggs with hollandaise sauce or three egg skillets with bacon, cured salmon and goat cheese, perfectly matched with a smoothie or a decent cuppa. You’ll also find a smoothie bowl counter here for those who love their mornings extra fruity…
Milk & Madu, Jl Pantai Berawa No. 52 (p. +62 851 0278 1872) & Jl Batu Bolong No. 92 (p. +62 813 5389 6153), e. [email protected]. Open daily 7am – 10pm.
7. The Shady Shack
True to its name, at The Shady Shack you’ll find the most tropically-adorable shaded seating areas with a shabby-chic vibe beside Canggu’s rice fields. Veggies rejoice! The whole menu here is meat-free and super-duper healthy to boot – we love the nori bowl, the vegan lasagne and the Pillow Talk gnocchi, and make sure to check out the raw banoffee cheesecake. Grab a cold coconut or long black, or better yet, boost that immune system with a turmeric latte. Nommmm.
The Shady Shack, Jl Tanah Barak No. 57, Canggu, p. +62 812 3611 6466. Open daily 7.30am – 10.30pm.
8. Crate Café
Is this the best breakfast in Bali? Many would say so. This rad, hipster coffee joint is always buzzing with Canggu’s coolest – maybe it’s the awesome soundtrack, the on-site island boutique, or maybe it’s just that the food is so goddamn good (and affordable) – the gluten-free tuna melt sandwich has to be up there amongst our fave brunch staples. Located just off Batu Bolong in between Padang Linjong, look out for its iconic industrial-chic look, bold murals, super smoothie bowls and some of the best coffee in town – just a few of our fave things about Crate. But don’t just take our word for it, it’s always busy at this Canggu legend.
Crate Café, Jl Padang Linjong No. 49, Canggu, p. +62 81 238 943 040, e. [email protected]. Open daily 6am – 5pm.
9. Baked
Soft, springy and perfectly crunchy on the crust, Baked had us at homemade, still-warm sourdough. But flawless loaves aren’t the only specialty at this Canggu hotspot (located in Berawa and Pererenan). Throughout the day, you can tuck into Korean honey toast with mascarpone, honeycomb and elderflower, ricotta hotcakes with blueberries, maple syrup and mascarpone. Or our fave: the Royal folded eggs with wilted spinach, sweet chilli jam, cream cheese, and that epic house sourdough. Settle in to the fresh whitewashed interiors, and whatever you do, make sure you take home their doughy creations…
Baked, Jl Raya Semat Gang Kupu-Kupu No. 1, Berawa & Jl Pantai Pererenan No. 118, Pererenan, p. +62 813 3821 3519, e. [email protected]. Open daily from 7am.
10. Good Mantra
Good Mantra is a wholly plant-based restaurant with big and bright flavours, easy-breezy community vibes and an address that’s just a stone’s throw from Berawa’s sand and surf. A ray of sunshine and epic eats, every wholesome plant-based creation uses fresh ingredients from small local farms, and almost everything is made in-house – from the nut-milks to the granolas and even the zingy relishes and sauces. Try the fluffy Matahari Pancakes with whipped coconut cream, coconut gelato and seasonal fruit coulis. Then for lunch, tuck into big-energy salads and stuffed sandwiches with layers of veg and a good slather of plant-based mayo. This earth-to-plate ethos trickles over to the bar, too, where the cocktails and mocktails are inspired by Bali’s landscapes and seasons. We’ll take two Surf Spritz, please!
Good Mantra, Jl Subak Sari Barat Gg. Sri Kahyangan No. 77, Berawa, p. +62 822 6187 9977. Open daily 8am – 9pm.
11. Neighbourhood Food
Dedicated to serving fresh local produce from artisan makers, Neighbourhood Food is Berawa’s cosy cafe and coffee shop with a refined take on Australian-inspired cuisine. Think slow breakfasts, laid-back afternoon nibbles and weekend brunches that are fresh and wholesome. Expect the very best of local produce used wherever possible, and be sure to try the Hood Benedict (with confit potato hash, soft eggs, jalapeño hollandaise and jalapeño salsa, and a choice of avocado, smoked salmon, halloumi or bacon), then come back again and again for the lineup of lunch staples. Think crispy sweet potato and lentil fritters, chicken salads and crispy skin barramundi with cauliflower puree, roasted tomato compote and herb salad. YUM. Top it all off with Neighbourhood’s epic house-blend coffees…

Stepping into Nude is like stopping by an old friend’s place. The staff are famously friendly (all smiles – every time) and this quaint and cosy café is just up the road from buzzy Berawa beach. Nude knocks out fabulous fare to keep everyone happy, every single day – veggies, vegans and carnivores alike. It also does great smoothies, wicked cocktails and excellent coffee, wrapped up in tropi-cool interiors. WIN.

13. Honey Kitchen
Not only do we love the name of this sun-soaked spot in peaceful Pererenan, we’re also obsessed with the fit-out. Laced in white and studded with gold and black accents, Honey Kitchen is simple but oh-so stylish. And of course, the same can be said about the menu. With a focus on ultra-fresh and organic ingredients, local and imported produce is given the Midas touch, creating standout brunch plates like the salmon and quinoa bowl, the coconut hot cakes, and wholesome sides like charred eggplant with pomegranate, fresh basil, toasted pine nuts, Greek yoghurt and olive oil. And FYI, their sweet potato fries are some of the best we’ve found…
Honey Kitchen, Jl Pantai Pererenan No. 132, p. +62 821 4546 4760, e. [email protected]. Open daily from 7am – 10pm.
14. Front Cafe
A cute and quaint no-frills coffee shop along the charming streets of Pererenan, Front Cafe makes up for its miniature size with full flavoured coffees, thick and creamy smoothies and a hearty menu chock full of irresistible cafe-style bites. Think big brekkie burgers, avo toast with green hummus, scrambled eggs, stuffed burritos and a vegan toastie that’s overflowing with ooey-gooey plant-based mozza. YUM. Settle into the sofa benches alongside the digital nomad crowds, or perch street-side and watch the world of ceremonies, scooters and school-runs go by.
Front Cafe, Jl Pantai Pererenan No. 72, Pererenan, p. +62 818 871 688. Open daily 7am – 3pm.
15. Ruko Cafe
If you haven’t tried Ruko’s pulled pork eggs Benedict yet, drop everything and order it right now. This cool little spot oozes an urban industrial style (giving all those expats the much needed feeling of living in the big city) and is a fab choice for all your all-day breakfasting/brunching needs. The menu is all about locally sourced fresh healthy food and their very own special Indonesian coffee blend – all served up in a tropi-cool atmo. Think Melbourne café culture with island vibes a-plenty. Ruko is a solid shout for morning grinds.
Ruko Café, Jl Pantai Berawa No. 99, Canggu, p. +62 812 3967 3077. Open daily 7.30am – 4pm.
16. Rize Cafe
A perfect fit for Canggu’s healthy bunch, Rize Cafe creates dishes with classic Indian flavours and vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, all using the freshest local ingredients. For a healthy yet hearty brekkie, the vegan bowl is loaded with scrambled akuri tofu, masala beans, and a grilled veg and herb salad. But the standouts here? The house dosas, all served with dahl and homemade chutney. The cafe is also just minutes away from the beach, so if you’re taking a midday break from surfing, drop by for a light lunch, cool down with a plant-based smoothie, then get back to the beach in time for the next wave!
Rize Cafe, Jl Pantai Pererenan No. 150, Pererenan, p. +62 811 3884 446. Open daily 8am – 10pm.
17. Cinta Café
One of the best things about Cinta Café is the view – the space overlooks beautiful rice paddies for an ultra relaxing and oh-so-Bali vibe. The other best thing? The insanely delicious menu of wholesome cafe favourites. It’s a great spot for brekkie or brunch, with our fave being the baked shakshuka with mushrooms, roasted peppers and herbs, and naan bread on the side. Hearty and delicious, it’s the perfect pitstop before hitting Berawa beach for some sun and surf.

You’ll feel like you’re in Seminyak at this stylish cafe, just a few metres away from Pererenan beach. With the dreamiest island-chic interiors that match its urban-style menu, Touché is where you’ll find Pererenan’s finest sipping on coconut milk lattes over a plate of truffle gnocchi and a crisp tuna tataki salad. From breakfast through to lunch and even tapas too, the menu goes from fluffy soufflé pancakes, to truffle scrambled eggs, before finishing off with Mediterranean-inspired mains and desserts. Top tip: Touché doubles up as a prime perch to watch Pererenan life go by, topped off by their iced double espresso with cocoa and orange-infused milk.

19. The Common Bali
We could easily write a drool-inducing, tummy-rumbling description of the epic food served at The Common, but all you really need to know is that this Batu Bolong name is from the Good Food Brotherhood – the legends who brought us Watercress Cafe, Milk & Madu, Ulekan, Shmurger Burger and Bangkok Hustle. No introduction needed, no narrative necessary – this place will be your next brunch go-to. You’ll struggle to go a day without their Avo on Toast with dukkah, herbs and basil pesto, while the Brekkie Tacos might just be the best we’ve ever tasted. As for lunch, come back again and again for their pasta – double points for the vegan feta. It’s clean and healthy eating done right, with gluten and dairy-free options galore. What’s not to love?
The Common Bali, Jl Batu Bolong No. 65, Canggu, p. +62 812 4654 2013, e. [email protected]. Open daily 7am – 10pm.
20. Milu by NOOK
A household name on the island, the NOOK team is doing what they do best at Milu by NOOK – serving yummy food at great prices in a gorgeous environment. Bringing everything we love about NOOK in Umalas and El Passo in Pererenan (like the shabby-chic interiors, delish Asian-Western fusion cuisine and family-friendly vibes) Milu by NOOK is a solid hit in the Berawa ‘hood. Try the Ocean Reef smoothie bowl or smashed avo for brekkie, and the signature burgers and sandwiches for lunch.
Milu By Nook, Jl Pantai Berawa No. 99, Canggu, p. +62 822 4711 4441. Open daily 8am – 11pm.
21. The Brunch Club
The Brunch Club needs no introduction. Anyone who’s ever tried the wobbly gooey souffle pancake stack at Brunch Club Legian will testify to this cafe’s addictive qualities! One bite is never enough, but throw into the mix great coffee, juices, salads, all-day fry-ups, and all the western faves, and you have a firm all-day brunch favourite. Not to mention, the Berawa address backs onto the stunning Bali Equestrian Centre, while the Pererenan address is footsteps from the beach. Mimosas, pancakes and epic views – now that’s a brunch!

22. Monsieur Spoon
If you thought Bali life couldn’t get any sweeter, settle in for brunch or lunch at everyone’s favourite French bakery-cum-restaurant in central Canggu or Pererenan – two of many locations on the island. Go early in the morning when the sun isn’t too hot, and sit outside in their cute garden with a coffee and cake. Try the oh-so creamy eclairs, shatteringly crisp croissants, velvety salted caramels and freshly baked breads that sit under buttery smashed avocado, gooey eggs or juicy bacon.
Monsieur Spoon, Jl Batu Bolong No. 55 (p. +62 819 1707 2020) & Jl Pantai Pererenan No. 164 (p. +62 821 4601 4828). Open daily from 7am.

We’re talking matcha pancakes, matcha buns housing a hearty chicken and bacon burger, sprinkles of matcha throughout healthy smoothie bowls, matcha cheesecakes and vegan matcha banana bread. We love it so matcha!

25. Hungry Bird
Need a caffeine fix? Head to Hungry Bird – a real-life coffee shop fairytale. The owner, a young Indonesian called Edo, used to roast beans in his bedroom after fixin a broken coffee machine with his own hands. Self-taught and quite literally self-made, he then opened Hungry Bird. Uber-popular with local surfers and one of the most buzzing spots in the ‘Gu, Hungry Bird serves some of the most affordable (and delicious) breakfasts in the area – alongside that epic coffee.
Hungry Bird, Jl Raya Semat No. 86, Canggu, p. +62 812 5000 4643. Open daily 8am – 5pm.
26. Sprout
So much more than just a coffee shop-cum-café, Sprout is a neighbourhood hideaway that’s popular with coffee connoisseurs, eco-conscious foodies, mums, dads and little ones too. The coffee they serve is our drawcard – it’s roasted in Bali and balances South American and Indonesian beans, specifically chosen for a full, intense flavour with enough substance and complexity. It goes perfectly with Sprout’s own homemade pancakes, smoothie bowls, folded omelettes and even gluten free superfood energy balls. We love the build-your-own salad combos too – perfect for taking to the beach.

27. Copenhagen Canggu

Fresh, healthy and full of flavour, this cute, minimalistic Scandi cafe is all about brunch and lunch, in particular, creating your own brunch boards that you can mix and match to your tummy’s content. Top a slice of Danish rye bread with chunks of tropical fruits, smashed avocado, or smoked salmon with sour cream. Or go all-out with a big juicy sausage or bowl of crispy bacon – because it is brunch after all…
Copenhagen Canggu, Jl Padang Linjong No. 71A, Canggu & Gg. Anggrek, Berawa (p. +62 823 4129 8975), e. [email protected]. Open daily.

Boldly sitting on the Batu Bolong strip just a few barefooted steps from the sand, The Slow is so much more than just an artsy island stay.

Zin Cafe caught our attention when we heard they serve the best buttery-soft avocado on toast in town. Well, the rumours are true, and this breezy, tropical spot (laced in palm, bamboo and swathes of sunlight) comes to Bali direct from Amsterdam. As for the rest of the menu, 99% of the ingredients are locally-sourced and make use of the island’s artisanal producers. Expect farm-to-table creations like asian tuna steak, spaghetti with homemade local kemangi and garlic pesto, crispy eggplant wrap and bountiful salad bowls packed full of veggies, dressings.

31. Canteen
With its funky retro surf vibe, Canteen gives Canggu’s OG cafes a run for their money in the ‘cool’ department. With a sign often stating ‘Hipsters, Beards and Hippies Welcome’ and its use of oil drums for tables out front, you can’t miss it. And if that fails, just look out for the steady stream of expats popping past for their morning coffee after a few too many cocktails the night before. Yup, this is the place to cure that post-Finns hangover, especially since it serves brekkie all day long.
Canteen, Jl Batu Mejan No. 33, Canggu, p. +62 878 6228 1755.

And it goes without saying that a cuppa goes perfectly with the croissants and pain au chocolat, or better yet, try the Canggu cafe’s all-day breakfast menu! Our fave? The sumac-spiced poached eggs served with toasted focaccia, or the delectable mango sticky rice topped with sprinkles of cinnamon.

36. Pels Supershop (temporarily closed)
A totally vegan café and emporium of all things plant-and-pedal-powered, Peloton has been a roaring success ever since it opened. The menu was created by a troupe of vegan foodies and chefs, and together they’ve totally #nailedit. The fact that this place is a hit with non-vegans just goes to show how good it is – in particular the loaded burrito or the creamy cheesy lasagne… how can something taste so delicious when it’s so good for you? Great food in a laid back atmosphere, and one of our forever fave Canggu cafes.
Pels Supershop, Jl Raya Pantai Berawa No. 46, Canggu, p. +62 813 3761 9335.
37. Bali Bowls & Smoothies (temporarily closed)
Bowls, bowls, bowls. Smoothie bowls, salad bowls, poke bowls and signature bowls – you name it, Bali Bowls has it, and they’re nutritious, delicious and packed to the bowly brim (we like big bowls and we cannot lie). From breakfast through to dinner, veggies, vegans and pescetarians can fill up on crater-sized signatures like the Eat Pray Love bowl (with chunks of dragon fruit, banana, papaya and star fruit, and our fave, the Choco-date bowl with banana, chocolate, peanut butter, dates and mango, blended in almond milk and topped off with granola – yum!
