From rice terraces to flat whites – these Ubud cafes serve the best coffee and most delicious brunches. And some even have rice field views!
Ubud is one of my favourite places in Bali, and not just because it’s the island’s yoga and wellness capital. I frequently day trip here to visit Bali’s incredible Hindu temples, and to browse the traditional local markets. And in between? I sneak in brunch at my favourite Ubud cafes.

The Best Cafes in Ubud for breakfast & brunch
1. Pison Ubud
Best for: Specialty coffee, brunch with a view and incredible croissants.
With rice fields in its backyard, Pison Ubud is right up there as one of my favourite Ubud cafes. It’s the one I keep going back to, even when there’s a queue out the door. But hey, that’s always the sign of a great venue, right? Maybe it’s the bustling ambiance, or the menu of local coffee beans and fresh ingredients. Whatever it is, the wait is worth it.
The crowd here is a mix of locals, remote workers, and tourists snapping shots of their red velvet waffles. I usually settle in with the salmon quiche and a cold brew for breakfast, then circle back later for the Pork Belly Nasi Goreng (it’s the best around!). Their Flat White Martini is also a good call if you’re staying on into the evening…
Local tip: Sit outside on the terrace for the best view of the rice paddy patch out the back. Or head all the way through the rice paddies and you’ll find the brand new Pison Atelier, and Chontea Japanese tea house and cocktail bar.
Good to know: This place can get very busy at peak hours, so arrive early, or be prepared to wait.
Must-try breakfast plates: The Japanese Bowl, Brioche French Toast.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 62,000++
Address: Jl Hanoman No. 10x, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7am – 11pm
Pison Ubud Menu Pison Instagram
2. Watercress Ubud
Best for: Warm, neighbourhood cafe vibes with hearty brunches and local produce, footsteps from Monkey Forest.
Located right in the heart of Monkey Forest Road, Watercress Ubud is one of Bali’s most famous cafes (it’s originally from Seminyak), and the warm, tropical energy of this Ubud location lives up to its repuation. I love the upstairs seating – it’s breezy, relaxed, and you might even spot a few cheeky monkeys swinging by while you eat (don’t worry, they’re friendly!).
If you’re here for breakfast, the Benny Brunch is the ultimate move; it comes with a side, coffee, and a coconut & raspberry chia pudding, so you can settle in for a proper breakfast. By the time the afternoon hits, the vibe shifts to Mediterranean soul food. Their slow-cooked lamb shoulder with buttery mash is like a hug on a plate, and their burgers and open sandwiches are some of the best in town after a stroll through the forest. I’m here for it!
Local tip: It’s just steps from Monkey Forest and Ubud Palace, so you can definitely build your itinerary around brunch.
Good to know: Almost everything on the menu is sourced locally, so the produce is as fresh as it gets.
Must-try breakfast plates: Smashed Avo & Watercress, Benny Brunch, Harissa Chicken Open Sandwich.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 85,000++
Address: Jl. Monkey Forest, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7am – 10pm
Watercress Ubud Menu Watercress Instagram
3. Melali Ubud
Best for: Beautiful interiors, a breezy terrace and healthy lunch bowls.
Bright Moroccan interiors, healthy food and laid-back vibes – I simply love Melali Ubud for a post-yoga brunch or laptop lunch. It’s a place where you can turn up mid-morning to graze on colourful falafel bowls or hearty salads, and stick around until late afternoon or early evening for cocktails, bites and the feel of a casual neighbourhood hangout.
The patterned Middle Eastern cushions and personal collection of framed pictures make you feel right at home, while the fresh juices, Mediterranean-inspired dishes and a modern twist on a Piña Colada reminds you that even home doesn’t taste this good.
Local tip: Keep your eyes on Melali’s calendar, because happy hours make an appearance almost every day of the week.
Good to know: There’s a gorgeous sun-soaked terrace out the back, or you can sit indoors in the AC.
Must-try breakfast plates: Avocado Pesto, Shakshuka, Melali Granola.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 58,000++
Address: Jl Sri Wedari No. 58, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7am – 11pm
Book Melali Ubud Melali Ubud Instagram
4. Simply Social
Best for: People-watching over great brunch and lunch food in the heart of Ubud.
The first time I tried Simply Social, I was just looking for somewhere to sit after visiting Ubud Palace across the street. But after just one visit, it’s become one of my favourite cafes in Ubud. It sits on one of Ubud’s busiest crossroads, so it’s a great perch for people-watching.
I dropped in for brunch and ordered the Simply Big Breakfast – generous, satisfying and exactly what I needed before exploring the heart of Ubud. The table next to me ordered a Breakfast Burrito and Avocado Toast, and both looked incredible (not a crumb was left over!).
The all-day dining menu moves seamlessly from breakfast to dinner, with poke bowls, sushi rolls, pizzas and classic comfort dishes to suit every craving. As for the drinks, you can’t go wrong with a proper flat white or fresh juice, though the cocktail list makes it tempting to stay into the evening.
Local tip: This is the perfect brunch meeting spot, as it’s so central on Ubud’s busiest crossroads.
Good to know: There’s a dedicated air-conditioned room for group bookings and private events.
Must-try breakfast plates: Simply Big Breakfast, Avocado Toast, Breakfast Burrito.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 75,000++.

5. Wild
Best for: Balinese-Indonesian pick-and-mix style brunch with traditional toppings.
I first discovered Wild after a morning yoga class, and it was exactly what I needed to refuel and nourish my body. It serves everyone’s favourite Indonesian breakfast: Nasi Campur. If you don’t know what it is, let me break it down for you! It’s essentially a build-your-own plate of rice, toppings, sides, and sambal. And yes, they’ve got plenty of options for vegan and vegetarian, too.
I load mine with turmeric rice, shredded Balinese chicken, capsicum-glazed tempe, and mushroom satay, and a dollop of green chilli sambal. And of course, nasi campur always goes well with Indonesia’s herbal drink, jamu. But if you haven’t tried it yet, I’d say go for the traditional Balinese Cem Cem – it’s SO refreshing!
Local tip: If you’re looking for a clean and safe place to eat – this is it. All of their ingredients are prepared with the highest standards of cleanliness and care.
Good to know: This spot used to be known as a vegan cafe, Wild Vegan. While it’s no longer wholly plant-based, it’s got plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
Must-try breakfast plates: Nasi Campur, Klepon
Price: Toppings start from IDR 15,000++
Address: Jl. Sugriwa No. 16, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 10am – 10pm
6. RÜSTERS
Best for: Remote work with scenery, excellent coffee and gorgeous designs.
Come for the coffee, stay for the views, and then somehow, end up sipping wine at sunset after checking out a ceramics workshop and browsing handmade furniture. Yep, RÜSTERS isn’t your typical Ubud cafe. It’s where you go “just for breakfast”, then leave six hours later wondering where your day went. But trust me, you’ll be glad you spent it here.
The breakfast menu is tight but thoughtful, while the lunch menu is much more extensive. I always go for the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and a Danish pastry for brekkie, then for lunch, it’s all about pasta, tapas, wraps and an incredible beef kofta kebab. And the good news is, this place feels cool and calm, with stable Wi-Fi, excellent coffee, and a power plug near your seat.
Local tip: The west-facing terrace is golden in the late afternoon — it’s one of the best sunset seats in Ubud.
Good to know: Not only a cafe, RÜSTERS is a bakery, restaurant, bar, furniture showroom, and a pottery workshop all-in-one.
Must-try breakfast plates: Smashed Avocado, Danish Breakfast, Huevos Rancheros.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 55,000++
Address: Jl. Raya Kengetan No. 44, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 8am – 7pm
7. Zest Ubud
Best for: Creative, plant-based comfort food that reads like a “meaty” bistrot.
Zest Ubud is Ubud’s plant-based restaurant that has redefined vegan dining in Bali. Forget bland tofu. Zest is all about hearty jackfruit steaks, stacked burgers, loaded pizzas, and crispy sweet potato wedges. I’m obsessed with the umami-packed asparagus and, of course, the decadent desserts. Think silky coffee panna cotta and gooey cacao fondant. It’s all a little bit naughty, but oh-so very nice – in more ways than one.
Local tip: Make a reservation if you’re planning to go around lunch time as it tends to get crowded
Good to know: Its bohemian settings often draws Ubud yogis.
Must-try breakfast plates: Peanut Butter Jelly Bowl, Gangsta Goreng, Savoury Seaweed Waffles.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 70,000++
Address: Jl. Raya Penestanan Kelod No. 8, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 8am – 10pm
8. Milk & Madu
Best for: Families, all-day dining, reliable Wi-Fi and wood-fired pizzas.
Everyone knows (and loves) Milk & Madu. This Bali favourite first made its mark in Canggu, but now it also has a home in the heart of Ubud. What sets this popular Bali cafe apart isn’t just its wood-fired pizzas — it’s the consistently good food that’s family-friendly and hits the spot at any time of day.
One reason I love it here? You always know you’re in Ubud. The vibes are tropical, cool and cosy, and there’s just enough industrial-chic decor to you remind you of Milk & Madu’s Canggu roots.
Local tip: It gets busy on weekends — aim for a weekday breakfast or late lunch to skip the rush.
Good to know: It’s popular with digital nomads (think reliable Wi-Fi + plenty of plugs)
Must-try breakfast plates: 3 Egg Skillet, Toasted Banana & Walnut Bread, Crispy Corn Fritters.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 55,000++
Address: Jl. Suweta No. 3, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7am – 10pm
9. Suka Espresso
Best for: An Aussie-style brunch and specialty coffee.
Suka Espresso nails the brunch brief with its Aussie-style breakfast menu and a serious dedication to coffee. Their team takes pride in sourcing beans from both Indonesian and South American small-batch growers — and you can taste the balance in every pour. I usually stop here after yoga; it’s peaceful in the early morning, and a great place to journal or read. Plus of course, the 60K Breaky Special for a full day worth of fuel!
Local tip: Ask the barista for their single-origin pick of the week — you might score small-batch beans not listed on the menu.
Good to know: Suka Espresso turns into Bonnie By/Suka at night, a European bistro-style dinner restaurant.
Must-try breakfast plates: Overnight Bircher Muesli, Salmon Scramble.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 60,000++
Address: Jl. Raya Pengosekan No. 108, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7.30am – 5pm
10. The Elephant
Best for: Vegetarians, slow mornings, gorgeous ridge views.
With its breathtaking views overlooking the Tjampuhan Ridge, plus a menu of Australian cafe classics, I can’t think of a better place for breakfast in Ubud. The Elephant is Ubud’s original vegetarian restaurant, and it has stood the test of time. Probably because its menu is delicious, healthy and all about slow-food that’s created consciously and sustainably. There are also plenty of vegan and gluten-free options, so everyone is covered here.
I love the breakfast burrito and the banana pancakes, but I can’t say no the best Eggs Florentine in Bali! The coffee here is superb too, and as morning moves into lunch, heartier dishes make their way onto the menu. Think handmade gnocchi, creamy laksa and a veggie bolognaise. And did I mention, there’s a menu of brunch cocktails too?
Local tip: Try visiting just after sunrise for cool breezes and fewer crowds.
Good to know: Not only is the menu all-vegetarian, The Elephant minimises waste through composting too!
Must-try breakfast plates: Breakfast Burrito, Eggs Florentine, Creamy Laksa.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 45,000++
Address: Jl. Raya Sanggingan, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 8.30am – 10pm
11. Alchemy
Best for: Raw vegan breakfast and brunch with superfood salads, smoothie bowls and raw desserts.
Vegan sorcery and raw chocolate wizardry come together at this gorgeous Ubud cafe. Love, authenticity, health and gratitude are the core values of Alchemy, so you know that everything on your plate will be delicious and nutritious. Think raw food goodness, enormous superfood salads and all-day smoothie bowls, all matched with sweet treats like their decadent banoffee pie or vanilla cheezecake with cashew “cheese”.
Local tip: All of the food pair up nicely with their single-origin coffee or chilled kombucha.
Good to know: They have a yoga studio right across the street for some movement before or after your meals.
Must-try breakfast plates: Salad Bar, Heavy Metal Detox Smoothies, Banoffee Pie.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 85,000++
Address: Jl. Raya Penestanan Kelod No. 8, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7.30am – 9.30pm.
12. Huma Cafe
Best for: Rice field views, tranquil vibes and an indulgent French Toast.
At Huma Cafe, you don’t just get gorgeous rice field views — you literally sit in the middle of them. Despite its incredible location and sweeping views, this cafe remains relatively quiet (or at least it was on the day that I visited). I came here for a slow morning coffee and a sweet breakfast of French Toast, which is loaded with strawberry, syrup and vanilla ice cream. Naughty, but oh-so nice!
Local tip: If you want to snap some photos here, you’ll want to arrive early at around 8am for that soft morning light and mist.
Good to know: Huma Cafe is the sister venue of Pubas Space, so you’ll find their own brand of Goldmine coffee here.
Must-try breakfast plates: Salmon Florentine, French Toast.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 45,000++
Address: Jl. Cinta, Tegallalang, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 8am – 10pm
13. KAFE
Best for: Healthy food and reliable vegetarian options.
KAFE’s been around forever — and for good reason. It’s like something between a tropical canteen and a New York-style bistro. To find it, you’ll need to head to central Ubud then stray slightly off of Jalan Hanoman. The wholesome menu reads like a nutritionist’s dream: there’s vegan, vegetarian, keto, gluten-free, macrobiotic and raw food. And you’ll find flavours from all over the world.
I got the chance to chat with the owner, and the menu essentially features everything they love to eat themselves. It also reflects their dedication to living a healthy, environmentally-conscious lifestyle. Who doesn’t want that? It’s delish and good for you – a double win.
Local tip: Check out the daily specials board—it’s usually something seasonal from the organic farm they work with.
Good to know: KAFE is also famous for its healthy juices and smoothies, all packed with detoxifying nutrients.
Must-try breakfast plates: Buckwheat Pancakes, Broccoli Pesto Soup, Kitcheree.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 35,000++
Address: Jl. Hanoman No. 44 B, Padang Tegal, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7am – 11pm
14. Clear Cafe
Best for: Healthy food from around the world, energising elixirs and Ubud yogi vibes.
Clear Cafe is the barefoot, incense-scented kind of place that screams Ubud (in the best way). The food’s light but filling, so you’ll definitely spot a lot of yogis here, refuelling after their sun salutations. It’s a one-stop spot for healthy food in Ubud, and the entire menu is vegetarian and pescatarian.
But don’t be fooled into thinking you’ll be leaving hungry. I could barely finish the Breakfast Burrito alone, not to mention all the other dishes I ordered. And when you see the menu, you’ll understand why – it’s like a bible of flavours from around the world. There’s Mexican tacos, Indian curries, Balinese seafood, Middle Eastern bowls – the list goes on. And somehow, they make it all organic, healthy, and delicious.
Local tip: Try the elixirs if you’re feeling jet-lagged — their ginger-based ones will get you going again.
Good to know: The second floor has a nice breeze, and there’s usually a playlist of chill beats humming in the background.
Must-try breakfast plates: Breakfast Burrito, Dragon Smoothie Bowl, Sunshine Tuna.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 40,000++
Address: Jl. Hanoman No. 8, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 8am – 10pm
15. Yellow Flower Cafe
Best for: Local, organic flavours served up in a homely, quiet setting.
I found Yellow Flower Cafe completely by accident, on my way to yoga at the Intuitive Flow. It’s hidden up Penestanan Steps, so it naturally filters out the crowds. But I’m so glad I stumbled upon it, because this cafe is beyond cute! It’s a pocket of calm, minutes away from the buzzing Ubud Palace, and it feels like you’re sitting in someone’s living room.
As I settled into the bamboo chair, I was welcomed with a glass of Cempaka-infused water which I gladly sipped as I browsed through the menu. I had the Vegan Pancake Stack layered with chunks of dragon fruits and slices of banana, which I couldn’t get enough of! For drinks, I went with the Cold Brew Cashew Coffee for a little hit of caffeine as I sat back and relax with a good book.
Everything on the menu is local, organic and only cooked in coconut oil. There’s also crispy corn fritters, savoury pancakes, tropical smoothie bowls and incredible medicinal drinks. While you might not hear this cafe on the lips of every Bali tourist, it’s the locals and in-the-know expats that have Yellow Flower Cafe on speed-dial.
Local tip: They put on a buffet every Sunday from 5pm, and it draws in the entire community.
Good to know: This cafe is locally-owned by a Balinese family, so you’re supporting local, and getting a true Bali experience.
Must-try breakfast plates: Vegan Pancake Stack, French Omelette, Balinese Breakfast.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 47,000++
Address: Penestanan Steps, Jl. Sanggingan, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7am – 8.30pm
16. Tucky
Best for: Coffee buffs and brunch with an Asian twist.
This small coffee shop might be small in size, but it’s bursting with character. You’ll find Tucky right in the middle of Ubud’s charming eat-street (Jalan Goutama), and inside, is the sweet scent of delicious Single Origin and Single Estate coffee from Bali and overseas. I popped in for a midday cuppa, but I couldn’t resist the menu of brunch bites.
The menu is reminiscent of Singapore’s cafe scene… A quirky fusion of brunch classics, plus a little extra. Think fried eggs with slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or a Sri Lankan curry on sourdough. Pair it all with a specialty-grade coffee, or a tea made with fresh leaves from family-run tea estates in Java and Sumatra.
Local tip: Chat with the baristas — they’ll explain the origin of their beans and teas!
Good to know: After hours, Tucky transforms into Bacari, AKA Ubud’s best wine bar.
Must-try breakfast plates: Avocado Toast, Fried Eggs & Spiced Lamb Shoulder, Grilled Chicken Sandwich.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 75,000++
Address: Jl. Goutama No. 15, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 9am – 4pm
17. Âme Bistro
Best for: Parisian-meets-Balinese vibes with a separate co-working area for digital nomads and remote workers.
After a morning stroll along Campuhan Ridge Walk, I found Âme Bistro – a French-inspired cafe just a few minutes from the south end of the trail. I’d heard it’s a popular Ubud cafe for digital nomads, so of course, I had to check it out. As expected, the coffee is excellent, with a sun-drenched setting that feels like a summer in Paris. The space itself is simple yet elegant, adorned with dramatic art pieces by Kadek Armika. I love how they’ve integrated local Balinese aesthetics with a European vibe, and this theme carries through to the farm-to-table menu.
I ordered the Savory Oatmeal for breakfast (which was pretty and surprisingly moreish!), and the Salmon Omelette, which comes topped with a generous drizzle of truffle sauce. Next time, I’ll be back for Âme’s Bonsoir menu: think wood-fired chicken with a glass of French Chardonnay.
Local tip: There’s a selection of art, ceramics and coffee beans on display, which you can buy and take home.
Good to know: The painted tiles on the bar depicts Balinese culture, flora and fauna – and they’ve been intricately hand-drawn!
Must-try breakfast plates: Savory Oatmeal, Salmon Omelette, Duck Benedict.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 65,000++
Address: Jl. Raya Sanggingan No. 87X, Kedewatan, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 7am – 7pm
18. Lazy Cats Cafe
Best for: Slow brunches, arty vibes, and comfy couches.
Lazy Cats isn’t the place for a rushed breakfast before a tour — it’s where I go when I want to chill out, take my time, and chat with friends over multiple coffees. Maybe it’s the cool arts (which FYI, you can buy!) laced against industrial interiors, the vintage decor, or the comfy couches that keep me hanging around for so long. Or maybe it’s the classic breakfasts and brunch bowls that felt super “healthy”.
I came here for lunch, which was a busy time, but luckily I managed to snag one of the plush armchairs. I ordered a Lazy Cats classic, Jalapeño Quesadilla, which was packed with slices of pickled Jalapeño and melted mozzarella cheese, as promised. And the fresh Watermelon Slushie just topped it off perfectly!
Local tip: Due to its smaller size, this cafe can get busy, so it’s best to arrive early outside of peak hours.
Good to know: Lazy Cats is a slow Ubud cafe by day, but at night, it transforms into a sleek and buzzing cocktail bar.
Must-try brunch plates: Breakfast Tacos, Green Avocado Shakshuka, Jalapeño Quesadilla.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 45,000++
Address: Jl. Raya Ubud No. 23, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 8am – 9pm
19. Moksa Ubud
Best for: Plant-based food made with fresh produce from its own permaculture garden.
A deep respect for nature is what brought Moksa Ubud to life. It’s a refined and health-conscious vegan restaurant, surrounded by greenery in Ubud. Every dish is made with organic, locally sourced ingredients, many harvested straight from Moksa’s own permaculture garden. From the smoky tempeh ‘ribs’ to the indulgent chocolate and passion fruit panna cotta, every bite is a testament to creative, conscious cooking.
Local tip: If you’re looking to Zen out between brunch and dinner, check out Moksa’s Dojo. It’s where yoga classes, Aikido, Ikebana, and more, often take place.
Good to know: They have their own cooking academy for aspiring plant-based chefs!
Must-try breakfast plates: Super Smoothie Bowl, Papaya “Salmon” Benedict, Almond Butter Toast.
Price: Breakfast starts from IDR 65,000++
Address: Jl. Melati, Sayan, Ubud
Opening hours: Daily, 10am – 9pm.
