From jungle-hugged coffee shops in Ubud to beachside breakfast places in Seminyak, these are the 22 best cafes in Bali...
If you ask a Balinese local where to find the best coffee in Bali, you might be surprised to hear they would send you to a Pertamina (petrol station) in deep Denpasar. But if you ask me, I’ll direct you to the must-visit Bali cafes that need to be on your itinerary. And as someone who used to drink six coffees a day (don’t judge!), I consider myself a bit of a Bali cafe expert.
I’ve cafe-hopped around Bali in search of the best brunch classics (avo on toast, I’m looking at you), alongside totally unique cafe creations that I haven’t found anywhere else. And if you’re looking for more neighbourhood-specific cafes, I’ve also found all the best cafes in Ubud, Uluwatu, Seminyak, Canggu, and Sanur too.
Best places for breakfast in Bali: My Top Picks
1. The Avocado Factory – Canggu
Avocado all day, every day – that’s my kind of heaven. And luckily, at The Avocado Factory, you’ll find avocado in everything, from avocado on toast, avocado in your burger, avocado in the smoothie bowls and heck, why not add chunks of avocado to the dipping sauces? These guys are as mad about nature’s green gift as I am, giving my morning go-to the recognition it deserves – all in a double-storey industrial style space.
Everything on the menu features local avocados (from both Bali and Java) in some form or another. I usually go for the Avo Pancakes for brekkie, then the classic poke bowl with lashings of avocado for lunch. This place is also open for dinner, which makes it a great excuse to tuck into the avo-infused chocolate mousse.
Must-try breakfast plates: Avocado Pancakes, Poke Bowl, Chocolate-Avocado Mousse.

2. KYND – Seminyak
I had seen KYND all over Instagram before I even tried it. You would be forgiven for thinking this place is just about the looks. Even I was quite surprised to realise this popular cafe means serious business when it comes to the food – all of which is 100% plant-based.
Even as a non-vegan, it knocked my sandy socks off. The inventive menu is packed full of both sweet and savoury knockouts. Top tip: after your vibrant breakfast and hearty lunch, it’s always a good idea to finish off with a vegan ice-cream from KYND’s technicoloured creamery.
Must-try breakfast plates: Paradise Pancakes, Sunny Ride Burger, Acai Bowl.

3. Ours Bali – Uluwatu
Everyone’s favourite all-day cafe and restaurant in Uluwatu, Ours would fit right into Bondi Beach, with its Balinese open-living, Scandinavian architecture and Mediterranean flavour. I love cooling down inside in the breezy, semi-open air dining space filled with wooden tables and rattan chairs, as I sip on my morning coffee. The shakshuka is a great brunch as you people-watch. And trust me, you’ll want to come back for the crispy skin barramundi at lunch and the chicken stroganoff for dinner. And with a focus on high quality local ingredients and a sustainable approach to food, I always leave feeling nourished from the inside…
Must-try breakfast plates: Truffle Scrambled Eggs, Ours Croissant, Steak & Eggs.

4. Melali Ubud – Ubud
I first found this cafe when I was wandering down my favourite leafy corner of Ubud, lured in by the promise of shade, colourful smoothie bowls and fast Wi-Fi. What I got was so much more. Melali Ubud is like a sun-kissed patio, with travel photography on the walls, and a quiet hum from digital nomads getting busy on their laptops.
It’s equal parts relaxed café, neighbourhood hangout, and wholesome kitchen. The menu is full of fresh, feel-good food, inspired by the Mediterranean and made with love and locally sourced produce. There are thick smoothie bowls, nourishing salads (my fave is the Falafel Bowl), house-brewed kombucha, and some dishes nod to the flavours of Asia and Indonesia. Stick around into the afternoon and the vibes softens, with signature cocktails, hearty sharing plates and a casual dinner vibe.
Must-try breakfast plates: Falafel Bowl, Shakshuka, Smoked Salmon Toast.

The best cafes in CANGGU
5. Sensorium Bali
Minimalism meets elegance at Sensorium Bali – an elevated brunch restaurant in Canggu for a multi-sensorial culinary experience designed to satisfy all five senses. But the food is far from minimalist! Expect modern Australian cuisine with an Asian twist, and boundary-pushing fusions that call on my adventurous foodie side. Think wild mushrooms cooked in different ways and served with supporting ingredients to give you a textural experience, or smashed avocado on buttery Indian prata. Yup, this isn’t your typical brunch spot…
Must-try breakfast plates: Brunch Ramen, Textural of Mushrooms, Crispy Quesadillas.
How much: Breakfast starts from IDR 49,000++
Address: Jl Batu Mejan, Canggu
Opening Hours: Daily from 9am
6. The Shady Shack
True to its name, you’ll find shady seating areas beneath swaying palms at The Shady Shack. And as one of the best vegetarian and vegan cafes in Bali, you can expect an entire menu that’s meat-free and centred around healthy and nourishing fare. As a non-vegan, I was surprise to find healthy breakfasts and lunches that filled me up. Think fruit or veggie-packed smoothie bowls, superfood salads, burgers, toasts, wraps, eggs and more. FYI, the raw banoffee cheesecake is to die for. Grab a cold coconut, a long black or better yet, boost that immune system with a turmeric latte.
Must-try breakfast plates: Heaven On Earth smoothie bowl, Smashed Eggplant Toast, Bees Knees Nachos.

7. Crate Café
Hipster coffee shop meets boutique brunch spot at Crate Cafe – and it’s one of the coolest cafes in Bali I’ve stumbled into. This buzzing hangout spot is tucked away on a quieter lane just off Batu Bolong, home to iconic industrial-chic interiors, bold murals and of course, a long queue out the door every morning for its affordable and epic breakfasts. But fear not – they have super fast service, which means their smoothie bowls and awesome coffees are never a long wait away.

8. BAKED.
A one-stop-shop for brunch and baked goodness, I head to BAKED. in Berawa, Pererenan or Uluwatu to really start my day right. For breakfast, I always stop by for the creamy poached eggs, the fresh-outta-the-oven artisanal sourdough, and the oh-so buttery croissants (they’re half the size of my head!). I wouldn’t dare leave without grabbing some sweet treats to take home, like the Pastel de Nata and the Pain au Chocolat, and coffee to go.
Must-try breakfast plates: Korean Honey Toast, Parisian Omelette & Asparagus, Cardamom Granola & Strawberry.

Here, you can spend slow mornings with great Middle Eastern and Mediterranean nibbles, surrounded by tropical plants and eclectic interiors.

10. Revolver Espresso
One of the OG’s when it comes to Bali’s caffeine obsession, Revolver Espresso is where you’ll want to go for seriously good coffee. What started out as a teeny tiny boutique coffee shop tucked away down a little laneway in downtown Seminyak, has become one of the island’s best known coffee brands. Its top-notch beans are sourced from the best Indonesian farmers, then roasted and blended locally in Bali. Revolver now has two Seminyak locations, and you’ll also find it in the Bali airport and in Canggu. You could easily forget you’re in Bali in this city-warehouse-style coffee nook.

11. Sisterfields
As Bali’s pioneering brunching institution, Sisterfields has been a hit since day one, long establishing itself as one of the very best cafes in Bali. Drawing in Seminyak’s hungry brunch crowds every single day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it’s fair to say that this Melbourne-inspired cafe is doing something right. The service at Sisterfields is always faultless too, so it’s never long before the ever-smiling staff have you settled in, sipping and snacking away on the incredible, Instagrammable dishes. Think pulled pork stuffed in a charcoal roll, and blackberry pancakes topped with whipped mascarpone.

The best cafes in ULUWATU
12. The Cashew Tree
Only a short stroll away from the cliff-tops of Bingin, The Cashew Tree is a family-friendly al fresco restaurant, perfect for a cold juice or smoothie beneath the palms. But what makes this my top pick is its location, right next to the uber-popular Bali Training Centre. Being a gym enthusiast, I often swing by for a pre- or post-workout coffee and breakfast here. The menu caters well to those watching their health, offering fresh and organic ingredients, with plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

13. Artisan
For a breakfast in Bingin, Ungasan or Uluwatu, I make my way to Artisan. It slings fancy breakfasts like creamy burrata on toast, as well as all the classics, like avocado on sourdough. They also brew some of the best coffee in Uluwatu, with a full selection of fresh pastries. Got room for dessert? Try the classic flourless chocolate cake, or the sticky toffee pudding with croissant ice cream. You’ll soon see why this stylish spot is one of the best cafes in Bali.

From the creative babes who gave us Bali’s internationally-acclaimed lingerie and swimwear label, Gooseberry Restaurant is a tropical oasis of modern cuisine, air-conditioned interiors and a sun-soaked pool for a post-brunch dip. Tucked away in Bingin, here you can graze on breakfast and lunch staples and dip into the pool between bites, or swing by later for dinner and go all out with a selection of dry-aged meats, grilled to perfection.

Suka Espresso sources the best beans from all over Indonesia and South America, and unsurprisingly, this place is always packed. But make no mistake, the breakfasts and lunches aren’t to be missed either. Everything here is super affordable, which only adds to its popularity. There’s smashed avo, stuffed sandwiches, poached eggs, and colourful smoothie bowls. It’s a must-try cafe for your daily coffee and brunch fix.

The best cafes in UBUD
16. Pison
With rice fields in the backyard and European-style interiors, Pison is one of the must-try cafes in Ubud. In fact, I’ve been here many times with my family and friends, and it never disappoints. The queue can be long here, but the food is well worth the wait. It’s a fusion of Asian and Western cuisine, plus an abundance of local coffee and high quality, fresh ingredients.
For breakfast and brunch, tuck into quiches, pies, waffles, or go Indonesian style with a hot plate of fried rice. Coffee is also Pison’s specialty, so you’ll want to wash it all down with their signature cold brews, Avocado Espresso, or make it a Flat White Martini instead… Psst – if you’ve got time, meander out back where you’ll find a secret tea house and an Indonesian restaurant for more food adventures.
Must-try breakfast plates: Red Velvet Belgian Waffle, Chicken Mushroom Cream Pie, Salmon Quiche.

17. Milk & Madu
A list of Bali’s best cafes simply wouldn’t be complete with this OG. Milk & Madu is everyone’s favourite when it comes to family-friendly brunch places in Bali. Originally from Canggu, Ubud is also graced by Milk & Madu’s delicious all-day breakfast menu, sumptuous lunches and delectable dinners. The breakfasts here are always popular, while the variety of juicy burgers, and epic wood-fired pizzas are best for lunch and dinner. And just like its Canggu sister, expect tropical, cool and cosy atmosphere, with just enough industrial-chic decor to make you swoon.

21. Genius Cafe
This is one of those Sanur cafes that’s always been a favourite amongst long term residents. It’s located beachfront next to Mercure Resort Sanur, a short stroll away from Power of Now Oasis yoga shala and the revamped children’s playground. But what makes this cafe a standout (and my go-to breakfast spot) is its menu.
Genius Cafe is pure genius when it comes to healthy dishes, and is one of just a handful of cafes in Sanur which offers vegan, gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free or nut-free options. Parents, you’ll also love that they use only wholesome, nutritious ingredients for your Little Genius. Don’t miss the live bands in the evenings either, it’s the best way to end a lazy day in Sanur!

A neighbourhood fave since 2017, Sala Bistro sits on Sanur’s buzzing eat street.

I love sitting on the patio by the street where I can people-watch as I start my morning with an Australian-inspired brunch, or a bountiful wholesome salad bowls packed with healthy and fresh ingredients. All of this is best enjoyed with a strong Seniman Coffee, and my favourite on hot days: the Golden Turmeric Juice.
