Breakfast Spots in Canggu Worth Waking Up Early For

Breakfast spots in Canggu

I’m not a morning person, but I will wake up early for a warm cup of piccolo, croissants, a nice plate of eggs, bacon, baked beans, and toast that I don’t have to cook myself.

Canggu really feels like it’s made for early birds though – everywhere you look in the morning, breakfast spots are always packed; from healthy to hearty, to the occasional naughty breakfast, hehe. But sometimes having too many options makes it hard to decide where to eat. So here, I’ve picked a few of my favourites for you to try – maybe one each day if you haven’t already, depending on what you’re craving.

If you want to skip breakfast and go straight to lunch, or are planning a nice dinner out, you can check out my other dining list article here:

My Little Canggu Restaurant List – Part 2

Canteen Cafe

I’ve been going to Canteen for years and basically take everyone here; friends, parents, dates, tourists, because this place is pretty laid-back and not as pricey as most breakfast spots in Canggu. I always order the same thing (I know, I know!): the Honky Tonk – homemade hash browns with poached eggs, smashed avo, bacon, and salsa. That said, I’ve tried other things on the menu every now and then, and they’re mostly good.

Canteen, if you’re reading this, please never remove the Honky Tonk from the menu or I’ll cry, kthxbye.

💰 Price range: IDR 60K-150K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-4.30pm

📍 Address: Jl. Batu Mejan Canggu No.33, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Rise and Shine

It’s a breakfast spot that makes you go “aww” the second your food arrives. Everything is beautifully plated, but then you take a bite and realise it actually delivers. Not just pretty for Instagram, but genuinely good. Think colourful smoothie bowls, or rolled pancakes, combined with good coffee, it’s your everyday comfort breakfast but a little extra special.

Ps. There’s also another Rise and Shine in Umalas Bumbak if you happen to be around the area.

💰 Price range: IDR 50K-150K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-5pm

📍 Address: Jl. Padang Linjong No.71, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali

Island Bagels

Despite the name making it pretty obvious that they sell bagels, the one thing I always order from them is…their breakfast wrap, lol! Thank you so much, Island Bagels, for keeping the Hangover Wrap on the menu for what feels like forever, because it’s still my favourite. You definitely don’t need to be hungover to enjoy this naughty little breakfast; beef patty, bacon, melted cheddar, and chilli mayo all wrapped up in one delicious bite. I’m sure their bagels are amazing too, so you should definitely give those a try, hehe.

Ps. There are two Island Bagels’ locations, one in Berawa and one in Pererenan.

💰 Price range: IDR 60K-150K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 8am-12am

📍 Address: Jalan Pantai Berawa, Tibubeneng, Kuta Utara, Canggu

Gather

Gather around, picky eaters! *pun intended. I want to share a breakfast spot where you can build your own breakfast, so you don’t have to stress the wait staff with requests like: “Can I have only avocado slices, two eggs sunny side up (medium well, please), with bacon..but without this and that?” *guilty. Here, you can totally be that person – and if customising your own plate isn’t your thing, they also have a regular a la carte menu with plenty of classic options to choose from.

💰 Price range: IDR 100K-250K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 8.30am-5pm

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Pererenan No.98, Pererenan, Badung

Fold

Good pastries, good coffee, plus aircon in Bali’s heat while most Canggu cafes are open-air – and that, kids, is how Fold wins every time. Do come early, as pastries can sell out pretty quickly. They also have cakes and proper cooked breakfast if you’re in the mood for eggs benny and all that, but I go to Fold mainly for the croissants (and sometimes donuts hehehe).

💰 Price range: IDR 50K-200K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-6pm

📍 Address: Jl. Nelayan No.31, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Butterman

I used to live walking distance from Butterman, and there was a time when my diet consisted of maybe 80% almond croissants – it’s hard not to.

Once or twice, I did order their breakfast menu as well, which they have alongside freshly baked pastries every day. But I usually go to Butterman for their croissants which they claim are “hotter than your man”…But I’m not quite sure how to tell them they’re wrong though, because I’m secretly married to Ryan Gosling.

💰 Price range: 50K-150K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 6.30am-6pm

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.10, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Gigi Susu

I still have no clue why so many people line up to take photos in front of Gigi Susu’s tiny booth, but I do know why they do it for the croissants, hehe.

Getting their pain au chocolat can be quite a mission – if you want to beat the crowd, you’ve got to show up super early. I’ve only ever ordered their pastries to go and eaten them at home, hiding from the world. They’re pretty good, and huge! Oh, also, they have a dining area now too, so maybe next time I’ll stay and have a big breakfast there.

💰 Price range: 50K-100K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 6am-10pm

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.80, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Milk and Madu

This place has been around in Canggu for quite some time and now has branches in other locations too, and it’s still top of mind for a lazy weekend brunch, whether with friends or solo.

They’ve got all the usual comfort breakfast and brunch classics like eggs benny and the rest, but I cannot not order their salted caramel cheesecake every time. Rules of society don’t exist on weekends…in Bali. You want cheesecake for breakfast? You have cheesecake for breakfast.

💰 Price range: 60K-150K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-10pm

📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa Jl. Tegal Sari No.52, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali

Little Frenchie

It’s a cute little restaurant in Pererenan and it’s close to my gym, so it has become a bit of a comfort ritual after training. They have all the classic all-time favourites like butter croissants, plus must-tries like Louie’s eggs benedict and croque madame. Simple and indulgent – the kind of slow morning vibe I love.

💰 Price range: 40K-200K

⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 9am-10pm

📍 Address: Jl. Munduk Kedungu No.39, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Badung, Bali

Canggu can be crazy, but it has all the things I’ve come to consider basic needs, like good croissants, healthy breakfasts, and quick, easy spots nearby that open super early. Little joys like that fix everything a slow morning is supposed to.

Also, half the joy here is not having to think too hard about where to go next… just follow the cravings, show up a little hungry, and let Bali do its thing. And if you end up ordering cheesecake for breakfast or queuing for pastries at 6AM, I fully support your life choices.

Thank you for reading, and until my next foodie article! *chom chom chom

The Cave Bali: A One-of-a-Kind Dining Experience

The Cave Bali had been on my dining list for quite some time. I’ve lived in Bali long enough that anything more than 10 minutes from home now feels far. And just like that, I rarely go anywhere. But every now and then, my best friend and I like to dress up and reward ourselves with a nice dinner. So we finally decided to try this seven-course lunch by Chef Ryan Clift - a unique dining experience set literally inside a cave, part of The Edge Bali resort. We live in Canggu, while the restaurant is in Pecatu, supposedly about an hour’s drive away. Wrong! In reality, it took us almost three hours - though to be fair, it was during Bali’s wet season… and also the famously unpredictable Uluwatu traffic. Was it worth it? Here’s my experience. The Cave Bali: A Hidden World in UluwatuDelightful Bites, One After AnotherThe Perfect Finale You may also like this article: Brunch in Bali - Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter The Cave Bali: A Hidden World in Uluwatu The Edge Bali, where the restaurant is set, is a five-star luxury cliffside resort in Bali’s surfing hotspot. Sitting on the famous Uluwatu's majestic cliff, getting there takes a little commitment. After our interestingly long car journey, we were rewarded with a beautiful setting and a warm welcome from the friendly staff, who took us to The Cave by buggy - that’s how big the property is. At first, the restaurant entrance looked quite normal, but the moment we stepped inside, it felt like entering a whole new world. A staircase led down into a subterranean cave complete with stalactites and all! I had seen this place in magazines and on social media, but experiencing it in real life just hit different. It was slightly chilly inside (glad I brought a cardigan), and the lighting was perfect: dim and atmospheric, yet still bright enough to read the menu and see things lol. A quick tip: reservations are essential, and arriving on time is important. Lunch and dinner begin at fixed times due to limited seating, the structured menu, and the intermission shows. Luckily, we anticipated the long journey, so we made it just in time. The interior, viewed from the stairs - only 22 seats available. Delightful Bites, One After Another We had booked the seven-course meal, so all we had to do was sit back and wait for each dish to arrive one by one. I actually love this style of dining - I tend to eat small portions but frequently, so the pacing allowed enough time to digest before the next course arrived. During the 15-minute intermissions between courses, a video-mapping projection played across the cave ceiling. It felt magical and added another layer to the whole experience. Our foodventure began with a delightful spread of Parmesan Beignet, Smoked Gindara Tartlet (my personal favourite - more please!), Mussel Tempura, and Tomato Jelly. Next came the Scallop Ajo Blanco (also amazing!) and Foie Gras Cheesecake - ok, this is a combination I wasn’t really sure about (sorry!). After another intermission, we were served Toothfish à la Viennoise. By this point, I was already quite full, but I couldn’t skip the next dish: Wagyu Pot-au-Feu, which turned out to be the absolute star of the day! The Cave offers seven and ten-course modern experimental fine dining You may also like this article: Sazón Bali - Spanish flavours in Canggu The Perfect Finale After all those incredible dishes, there was only one course left - dessert. But before that, another intermission gave us time to explore the cave (which you can actually do!). Helmets and torches are provided for safety because, well, it is a real natural cave after all - better safe than sorry. And then came dessert: hello, Olive Oil Sorbet and Lemon Tart! The perfect sweet ending and absolutely delicious. Do note that the menu changes every four months, so your experience may be completely different from mine. Dining at The Cave is more than just a meal; it’s an experience that blends nature, and fine dining in a way that feels both intimate and theatrical. Yes, the journey there may require patience, but once you step inside, time seems to slow down. It’s the kind of experience that reminds you why it’s worth leaving your comfort zone every now and then - especially when good food, a magical setting, and great company are waiting. The Cave Bali 📍Location: Jalan Pura Goa Lempeh, Pecatu, Kec. Kuta Selatan, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361 ⏰ Opening Hours: Lunch: 12.30–2.30 pm (Tuesday–Sunday) Dinner: 5.30–7.30 pm & 9.00–11.00 pm 👗 Dress code: Smart casual 💰 Price: From IDR 2,050,000++/ person 🚘 Transportation: Taxi or private drivers 📱 Reservation: +62821-4463-2077 (Whatsapp) Personal tips: Allow extra travel time for distance and traffic so you won’t be late - it’s always better to arrive early. Bring something warm if you tend to get cold easily like me; the restaurant can feel a little chilly inside. Make sure you read the menu before booking, especially if you have any allergies, as it would be a shame to miss a dish or two.

Koyotake Ramen: A Comforting Homemade Ramen in Yogyakarta

“No more Instagram ads, please. I’m scared too many people will come,” laughs my dad, the man behind Koyotake Ramen, Yogyakarta. While most warung owners dream of bustling crowds, he prefers a steady stream of loyal customers who enjoy his homemade ramen. Tucked away in a quiey village in Bantul, Koyotake serves Japanese comfort food with heart – think rich Tori Paitan broth, savory Shoyu, and crispy gyozas. From Five-Star Kitchens to a Small Ramen Dream Back in the day, my dad worked in the fast-paced, always-hectic F&B department of various 5-star hotels. After years of juggling high-pressure environments, he decided to retire early in his 40s. His dream was simple: to run a small ramen shop like the ones he admires in Japanese travel documentaries. Small but mighty. Why ramen, though? And where did his love for Japanese food come from? To be honest - I’m not sure, haha! But after a few failed attempts (as all good stories go), he made that dream a reality. Koyotake Ramen's Tori Paitan - Creamy Chicken Broth Ramen in Yogyakarta You may also like this article: Pastries, Passion, and a Little Bit of Magic at Theo’s Wife Lois It all started in a food court in South Tangerang. At first, it struggled to attract customers, so he made the bold decision to close the outlet and reopen it at home. I thought it was a better idea - not only would he save on rent, but he’d also have more flexibility and time to rest. With his passion, my mum’s support as sous chef and logistics manager (seriously, who’s better at market shopping than the ibu?), and my contribution as the self-proclaimed marketing manager, the little house warung began to gain traction. They started with a simple menu; Tori Paitan and Shoyu ramen, and slowly expanded as the warung grew in popularity. Tan Tan Men, also a favourite menu among customers You may also like this article: Goolali Gelato Bar & Pâtisserie - Semarang’s Sweetest Escape Last year, my parents decided it was time to leave the hustle and bustle of city life and settle in a small village in Yogyakarta, where my mum originally comes from. Can’t blame them - city life can be overwhelming, especially at their age (honestly, even at mine). They reopened their ramen warung at their new house in Bantul, and it didn’t take long for them to regain popularity. One day, a well-known food blogger secretly stopped by, had dinner, and posted a Reel on Instagram. For weeks after, the warung was packed with people queuing for ramen, haha! Talk about a good problem to have, right? But now, they’ve settled into a nice rhythm, constant customers daily, not too crazy, just the right amount. So, thank you, Mr. Blogger, for bringing the unexpected blessings on my parents’ small business! If you ever find yourself in Yogyakarta and crave some home-cooked Japanese comfort food, make sure to visit Koyotake Ramen. They have added more on the menu, and don’t forget to try the gyozas!

Goolali Gelato Bar & Pâtisserie: Semarang’s Sweetest Escape

Travelling around Java, especially Central Java is becoming more popular, thanks to new the toll road from Jakarta that makes the drive possible in just five to eight hours. While Yogyakarta has always been a tourist favourite, Semarang is starting to steal the spotlight. Some visit for its iconic landmarks like Kota Lama and the historic Lawang Sewu, while others are all about the street food. But did you know Semarang’s cafe, restaurant and bar scene is also flourishing? I won’t go into all the great spots in this article, but I have to share a little gem that stole my heart and keeps me coming back every time I’m in town; Goolali Gelato Bar & Pâtisserie. The lively and inviting space in the lobby of Padma Hotel Semarang - image by Goolali Located in the city’s current “it” spot - Padma Hotel Semarang, which has been the talk of the town since it opened, Goolali is home to over 35 flavours of gelato (well, the name does have "gelato bar" in it, hehe). They also serve beautifully crafted mini gâteaux with unique flavours, macarons, bonbons, and oh! I have to rave about the pastries! Their croissants and danishes are out of this world, especially when they’re fresh from the oven (you have to show up early in the morning for this, but it’s totally worth it!). Another highlight of visiting Goolali is their afternoon tea. Instead of the usual tiered setup, they’ve gone for a whimsical-magical-fantastical style that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairy tale. And it’s very…I hate to say this word..."Instagrammable". There, I said it. A very unique afternoon tea experience - image by Goolali The name Goolali is a playful twist on the traditional snack gulali. The overall ambiance is fun and vibrant, with bright colours and quirky dessert monster illustrations adorning the packaging and interior, created by Bandung-based artist Addy Debil. Though located in a luxury hotel, Goolali has a warm and welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home, even if you’re just stopping by for a sweet treat (yes, they happily welcome outside guests!). Some of the #TravelwithGoolali collection - image by Goolali The cute packaging makes Goolali a great gift or oleh-oleh from Semarang. Take home some homemade jams, dragées, or cookies and don’t forget to hashtag #travelwithgoolali when posting on social media! They also create beautiful hampers for special occasions, and with Ramadan around the corner, they’ve got a special collection ready. Follow @goolalisemarang on Instagram to keep an eye on their mini gâteaux of the day. Plus, be ready for the chef’s special surprises! Stay Tune at Kata Bella for more!
