Seminyak
1. Kim Soo
Kim Soo is one of the more novel cafes in Bali, for it is both a lifestyle boutique and a dining destination. The space is replete with photo-worthy spots, from black-and-white backdrops to a turquoise splash pool you can pose at if you’re looking to nab that OOTD shot. It’s also worth looking at the different knick-knacks and pieces the cafe has available, because you might find something you’re interested in bringing home.
The cafe itself offers classic brunch dishes with a bit of a French twist, and house-made cakes. We particularly enjoyed their Triple Cheese Toastie (IDR75K++/~S$6.81++), a huge grilled cheese sandwich packed with three types of cheese: melted cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheese. For dessert, get your hands on their Dulce de Leche Cheesecake (IDR40K++/~S$3.63++) if it’s available. The rich cheesecake batter is laced with dulce de leche, but is not overly cloying.Â

2. Kynd Community
If you’re looking for Bali cafes on social media, you’ll definitely come across Kynd Community. The Instagram darling is known for its pink decor, but also for being one of the best places for vegan food in Bali.Â
At their Seminyak outlet, you can dine in their spacious alfresco area, or indoors amongst their pink tropical decor. The cafe isn’t all looks though—they deliver equally on the flavour front too. Get their Creamy Tan Tan Ramen (IDR90K++/~S$8.21++), made with ramen noodles, mixed greens, enoki, and mock minced pork, if you’re craving something spicy, or their Smoked Bacon Gnocchi (IDR95K++/~S$8.66++), for a twist on an Italian classic that hits the spot. Aside from their dishes, Kynd Community also has a selection of refreshing juices, spritzers, and coffees on the menu too.
FYI: There’s also another outlet in Canggu.

You may know of Shelter as a popular Middle Eastern restaurant in Canggu, but they have a sister eatery known as Shelter Cafe in Seminyak, serving up classic brunch and lunch fare with a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean twist. If you’re here for breakfast, we highly recommend their Ricotta Pancake Stack (IDR80K++/~S$7.25++), served with caramelised bananas and vanilla gelato, for something sweet, or their Shelter Big Breakfast (IDR130K++/~S$11.80++), a savoury platter with all the usual English breakfast trimmings, with the addition of lamb kofta and portobello mushrooms.

Their menu is broadly split into breakfast, toasties, superfood bowls, smoothie bowls, and chia puddings. On the drinks front, expect a lengthy list of juices, smoothies, and health beverages, like kombucha and jamu. We recommend visiting for a light lunch and choosing from their range of Super Bowls (IDR60K/~S$5.45), salad bowls that come topped with a range of nutritious and tasty ingredients, from halloumi to vegan falafel.

10. The Avocado Factory
If avocado toast is your ride-or-die brunch favourite, then swing by The Avocado Factory. This is the only avocado-themed cafe in Bali, where the green fruit stars across the entire menu, from its beverages to its mains.Â
Try the Avo Pancakes (IDR80K/~S$7.17), a stack of avocado pancakes garnished with fresh fruit, chocolate gelato, and with maple syrup. For something savoury, there’s the Spicy Mash (IDR50K/~S$4.48), where smashed avocado on sourdough toast is elevated with mushrooms.

11. Bokashi
Canggu’s cafe scene is full of gems that surprise. One of these is Bokashi, a two-storey cafe and gourmet grocery store, decorated to look like a Japanese teahouse. The vibes are immaculate here, especially on the second floor, where diners can enjoy their drinks and food sitting on tatami mats.Â
If you’re much more of a tea person, you’ll be pleased to know that Bokashi offers a broad range of single-origin Indonesian teas, sourced from the region’s highland plantations. Pair that with their selection of farm-to-table mains, of which we particularly enjoyed their Chilled Soba Noodles (IDR75K/~S$6.75).

12. Sari Kitchen
Sari Kitchen is one of our favourite Bali cafes to work from. The open-air dining destination in Canggu spans three floors and is plotted with a variety of different seating configurations, ranging from long tables to couches, and even reading nooks. Think of this as the holiday edition of a co-working space.Â
The cafe is also wallet-friendly, with brunch sets from only IDR50K (~S$4.50). The menu is very comprehensive, offering everything from burgers to pasta, and Japanese-inspired rice bowls, even tacos. If you’re visiting for a drink, then you’ll be equally spoilt for choice, thanks to its wide range of juices and coffees.

We called Lazy Cats one of the prettiest cafes in Ubud for good reason. The unique cafe is also a bar and an art gallery, and stars rustic decor with stunning high ceilings to allow in plenty of natural light.
The cafe is vegetarian, and most of its dishes are made with locally-grown produce.

Seniman Coffee had been an Ubud institution for over a decade now. This vibrant Bali cafe is best known for their specialty coffee, made with beans roasted in-house.

20. Littletalks
Image credit: @littletalksubud
Littletalks is one of the more unique Ubud cafes on our list. The space is both and library and a cafe—its walls are stacked with books you can grab and read, as you dig into your brunch.
Image credit: @heythewon
While the eatery offers both Indonesian and Western bites, we suggest zooming in on the former. Their Nasi Goreng Ijo (IDR45K/~S$4.20) is one we’d recommend. Their nasi goreng sees rice wok-fried in a kaffir lime and candlenut paste so it’s extra-fragrant, then topped with pickles and a sunny-side up. The Gado Gado (IDR40K/~S$3.60) is another classic, a true-blue Indonesian salad with a myriad of raw and cooked veggies, tofu, and a moreish peanut sauce.
