Our favourite places in Uluwatu for breakfast, brunch & lunch
1. The Cashew Tree
Just a stone’s throw from the cliff tops of Bingin, The Cashew Tree covers everything from al-fresco brunches and family-friendly lunches, to live acoustic performances in the evenings. The fully stacked menu is fresh, healthy and organic (think bowls packed with superfoods, and loaded wraps), with plenty of vegetarian and vegan dishes alongside an epic cocktail list. There’s even the uber-popular Bali Training Centre (AKA one of Bali’s best gyms) here. In fact, we often tag a workout onto our morning coffee fix.
The Cashew Tree, Jl Pantai Bingin No. 9, Pecatu, p. +62 859 5378 9675; Open daily 7.30am – 10pm.
2. Drifter Surf Shop
A shrine to all things old school surf, Drifter proudly wears its vintage vibes badge. Head out the back of this iconic surf shop and you’ll find the peaceful garden café slinging excellent coffee and one of our favourite breakfasts in Uluwatu. From brekkie burritos and burgers by day, to Balinese nasi campur and black pepper-crusted seared tuna at night, we regularly graze our way through the entire Drifter menu. Our top tip: swing by on a Saturday night and you might catch a live band or movie beneath the stars.
Drifter Surf Shop, Jl Labuansait No. 52, Pecatu, p. +62 877 7755 0001, e. [email protected]; Open daily 7am – 10pm.
3. Analog
Travel back in time to the retro 70s at Analog – Bingin’s surfer cafe brewing the best coffee in the neighbourhood alongside Scandinavian-inspired breakfasts and superfood smoothies. We love to join a pilates class at Fondue next door, then head to Analog to kick back in the beach shack-chic interiors lined with vintage surf boards and local art. Or, nab a seat outside and catch up over coffee with mates.
Analog, Jl Labuansait, Uluwatu, p. +6282340918986; Open daily from 6.30am.
4. BAKED.
Located in both Canggu and Uluwatu, we brunch at Baked for its incredible bakery selection and specialty coffee (the beans are from Sulawesi and Java. But that’s just the beginning. Everyone loves the fresh-outta-the-oven artisanal breads here, and the oh-so buttery croissants half the size of your head. The eggs Benny with gochujang hollandaise is iconic, as is the beef pie and the endless display of sweet treats too.
BAKED., Jl Labuansait No. 10 Unit 11, Pecatu, p. +62 823 2288 2832; Open daily 7am – 5pm.
5. Tanah Uluwatu Bakery & Grill
Located just off the main road to Uluwatu, Tanah Uluwatu Bakery & Grill is where lazy breakfasts turn into long lunches. Picture this: the scent of freshly baked bread wafting through the air, a crackling grill sizzling in the background, and the chatter of diners filling each table. All of this within a lofty, breezy space overlooking forest-like greenery and an outdoor courtyard. As for the food? Think creamy avocado atop still-warm sourdough, and gooey fried eggs with a slab of bacon inside a buttery croissant. We also love the French Toast (soaked overnight for maximum flavour) with dark chocolate cremeaux and raspberry semifreddo. For lunch and dinner, the menu gets heartier, with sandwiches, steaks, burgers and pasta. It’s the kind of place where you can swing by for a wholesome brunch, snag a pastry for the road, or gather the gang for a wood-fired feast. And psst – it’s dog-friendly too!

Sleek yet casual, it’s always packed with the Uluwatu crew, so you’ll want to swing by early to nab the best seat in the house. The breakfast options here are second-to-none, with stuffed bagels, silky scrambled eggs, fresh sourdough and everything-on-toast. Creamy burrata, crispy bacon, fluffy pancakes and smoked ham – they do it all. Got room for dessert? Try the Belgian dark chocolate cake with brown butter ice cream…

Bright, breezy, and always buzzing, Milk & Madu in Uluwatu has everything we’ve always loved about this iconic Bali cafe (you’ll find it in Canggu and Ubud too!). Killer coffee, an all-day brunch menu, and breezy island vibes perfect for friends and family. The ricotta pancakes are our go-to: fluffy, golden, and loaded with berries. Or the wood-fired sourdough pizzas our our fave later in the day, served straight from the oven. There’s plenty of space to chill here as well, with some long communal tables, a loungey garden, and a bar area too. It’s oh-so easy to stay for ‘just one more’ almond cappuccino.

A specialty cafe and doughnut shop, Tarabelle Coffee & Eats sits on the main road into Uluwatu, serving an all-day and affordable menu. For a morning fuel-up, you can’t go wrong with the vegetarian shakshouka, or the coconut chia pudding if you’ve got a sweet tooth. Lunch is all about everyone’s faves: burgers, pastas, bowls and wraps. Our favourite is the Korean Rice Bowl with a healthy serving of kimchi, and you’ll want to check the calendar to time your dinner with one of Tarabelle’s special nights. And we always make time to browse the counter for those artisan doughnuts…

Ubud’s OG vegan restaurant has made a second home in Uluwatu, this time in the quiet Bingin neighbourhood. Alchemy Uluwatu honours Mother Nature by using all-natural, sustainable and organic ingredients. The kitchen serves up a wholesome menu of raw and gently cooked plant-based and gluten free creations. Think big colourful salad bowls, chunky sandwiches and an all-day breakfast menu too. Start the day off with a Chai Latte, and grab an Asian-style jackfruit “chicken” salad in between surf sessions. As for dinner, share a pizza and pair it with Alchemy’s homemade kombucha. We love the interiors here too – think barn-like vibes, a fire-pit, and lush green gardens.
