Best Coffee Shops in Canggu

I’m not a coffee connoisseur, just a regular girl who needs her daily caffeine fix to survive the chaos of life. So don’t expect a deep dive into brewing methods, tasting notes, or “The Best Cafes in Bali” list here. Instead, I’m simply sharing my go-to coffee spots in Bali, mostly Canggu, Pererenan, and the surrounding areas – because that’s where I live. This is also not a list of “The Most Instagrammable cafés” (though they are pretty cute); some are small, humble, and just….nice. So, if you’re looking for great coffee without the fluff – let’s get into it.

Bali Coffee Shop List

Best Coffee Shops in Canggu - Satu Satu Coffee

Satu Satu Coffee – Canggu

Here’s one of the reasons why I keep coming back to Satu Satu: I drink Piccolo but I also live in Bali, right. So baristas, if you’re reading this, please don’t hate me, but I like my Piccolo ice cold. And Satu Satu is one of the few places that gets the balance of coffee, milk, and ice just right. It’s never watered down, but also not too intense. I often buy their ground coffee as presents for friends and they absolutely love it. The staff will ask how you brew at home so they can grind them to the right size – super helpful!

Bonus points: the prices are very reasonable – not just for coffee, but for their breakfast menu too. And the staff are always lovely and welcoming. Definitely one of my top coffee spots in Canggu.

📍 Jl. Pantai Berawa No.36, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 7.30am – 4pm

🪑 Indoor & outdoor seating

💰 Price range: 20K-150K

Fold – Canggu

For someone who’s lived in Bali long enough, I’m not exactly a fan of being hot, lol. So when I need a good cup of coffee and the luxury of a comfortably air-conditioned space, Fold is always my go-to. Their pastries are good too – just don’t come too late in the afternoon, or you’ll be left choosing from whatever remains in the display. The space itself is bright, calm, and easy to settle into, whether you’re opening your laptop for a few focused hours or catching up with friends and family over coffee. It’s the kind of place where time passes quietly.

📍 Jl. Nelayan No.31, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 7am – 6pm

🪑 Two-storey indoor seating

💰 Price range: 30K-200K

Picco Coffee – Pererenan

This spot is small but cosy, and it’s a favourite among remote workers who camp out with their laptops and lattes. I discovered Picco because it’s right across the street from my Jiu Jitsu gym, convenient. It’s a minimalist coffee shop that sticks to the essentials: brews and pastries, so don’t come here hungry, as they don’t serve big breakfasts. But if you’re after a quiet café in Canggu for a solid coffee and a chill vibe, this one’s worth a visit.

📍 Jl. Munduk Kedungu No.16, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi

🕒 Open daily, 7.30am – 3.30pm

🪑 Air-conditioned indoor & outdoor seating

💰 Price range: 25K-60K

Image credit: Eko Cafe Instagram

Eko Cafe – Umalas

This café is tucked away in a laid-back area with a “settle down” vibe, hehe – you’ll often spot families with kids and dogs enjoying a relaxed breakfast, far from the busy surfer crowds or rushed office mornings. That’s exactly why it’s one of my favourite spots; I’m not a fan of crowded cafes, especially when you have to wait in line. The coffee here is nice, and they’re known for their healthy menu (but not too hardcore healthy, if you know what I mean). Think homemade hash browns with fresh spinach, cold-pressed juices, and naturally sweetened cakes that hit the spot without feeling heavy.

📍 Jl. Bumbak Dauh No.89x, Kerobokan, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Open daily, 7am – 3pm

🪑 Open indoor seating

💰 Price range: 25K-150K

Arnold’s Coffee – Kerobokan

If you keep heading from Eko Cafe towards Jalan Raya Semer, you’ll spot a bright yellow coffee shop that’s hard to miss. Arnold’s Coffee may be small, but it’s full of charm, and it has everything you need to start your morning right. My family loves this place; we often end up staying a while, especially with the board games they have available. The coffee is nice, and you should definitely try the waffles. Best of all, the prices are affordable (I mean, things are generally cheaper once you’re outside central Canggu).

📍 Jl. Raya Semer no. 34, Kerobokan, Kec. Kuta Utara

🕒 Monday – Saturday, 7.30am – 5.30pm

🪑 Indoor seating and a little terrace

💰 Price range: 25K-100K

So there you have it, a few of my favourite coffee spots around where I live. Whether you’re after a perfectly balanced Piccolo, a quiet place to work, or a cosy café with healthy bites, these spots are worth checking out. If you know of any other nice coffee shops in the area, drop me a message! I’m always on the lookout for new favourites 🙂

SKAI Bar & Grill in Legian: Same Soul, Refined Experience

The good old Legian never dies. I spent so much of my childhood in this neighbourhood that walking back through it now feels a bit like flipping through an old photo album; familiar corners, same vibe, and that nice feeling that not everything has changed. It’s comforting, in a way, to see some of the same restaurants still around - quietly standing the test of time. And if you know, you know…some places, they evolve, but never lose their charm. Not trying too hard, not chasing trends - just naturally keeping up, staying relevant in their own way, while holding on to what made people fall in love with them in the first place. One of them is SKAI Bar & Grill, formerly known as SKAI Beach Club. And yes, as the name suggests, the concept’s had a bit of a glow-up. The heart of it never goes anywhereOpen Flame, Bold Flavours, and Signature Cuts You may also like this article: Bali Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations The heart of it never goes anywhere Don’t worry though, the iconic beachfront pool and those outdoor seats we all love are still very much there (I know, some memories are just too good to let go of). It still carries that same laid-back, by-the-sea energy that made it such a favourite in the first place. But now, there’s a cosy indoor extension with 34 seats - perfect if you’re into that open-flame, grill-side kind of experience that SKAI Bar & Grill is leaning into. There’s also a new terrace that low-key feels like a secret garden - very much an evolution of the OG SKAI vibe. Think floor-to-ceiling windows, lush greenery everywhere, and laser-cut screens that look dreamy during golden hour (warm, dappled light kind of situation). The seating is all hand-woven in soft driftwood greys and sandy taupes, tying everything back to the natural beachy colour palette (my bright pink outfit would really pop here! hehe). So yeah, anyway - new space, same soul. The new seating area that feels warm and homely You may also like this article: Brunch in Bali - Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter Open Flame, Bold Flavours, and Signature Cuts Now onto the food - because this is the even more interesting part. Picture all that calming seaside ambience paired with their heroes on the menu; tender cuts with za’atar, citrusy sumac, a touch of smoky paprika. Simple, but so good. Add in the sea breeze, some greenery, and soft lantern light overhead… it’s seaside dining, in Bali, but with a slice of Eastern Mediterranean twist. At the heart of it all is an open kitchen. You get to watch the chefs fully in their element, working the fire and charcoal. There’s something quite satisfying about seeing it all happen right in front of you. This is where SKAI’s signature cuts come in; Angus tenderloin, grass-fed MB3+, pork chop Pata Negra Ibérico, and more. And if you’re someone who likes to choose your cut properly, you’ll appreciate this: the dry-aging chamber is now on display too, beautifully laid out on rustic maple boards. Take your time, have a look, and pick exactly what you’re in the mood for. The kind of spread that feeds the soul All in all, SKAI Bar & Grill, and this new expansion, is such a lovely addition to Legian’s dining scene. It’s one of those spots that feels familiar, but in the best, refreshed kind of way - like coming back to something you love, but better than you remember. And the fact that it’s located at Padma Resort Legian, a resort that holds so many beautiful memories for me, just makes it even more special to me! 🫶🏻✨ SKAI BAR & GRILL🥩 Cuisine: Eastern Mediterranean💰 Price range: From 250K/ person⏰ Opening hour: Mon-Thu, 12pm-11pm/ Fri-Sat, 12pm-12am, Sun, 12.30pm-11pm📍Address: Jl. Padma no. 1, Legian, Kec. Kuta Selatan, Badung, Bali

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 1 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-11pm 📍 Address: Jl. Batu Mejan Canggu No.33, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Canteen Cafe Instagram 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 pretty, 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-6pm 📍 Address: Jl. Padang Linjong No.71, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali Image credit: Rise and Shine Instagram You may also like this article: Bali on a Budget - Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K Fold Good pastries, good coffee, plus aircon in Bali’s heat while most Canggu cafés 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 Image credit: Fold Instagram 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 Image credit: Butterman Instagram 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 Image credit: Gigi Susu Instagram You may also like this article: Vegan Cafes in Canggu - 5 Nice Spots for Your Daily Greens 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/ breakfast meal ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa Jl. Tegal Sari No.52, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Milk and Madu Instagram 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/ breakfast meal ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 9am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Munduk Kedungu No.39, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Badung, Bali Image credit: Little Frenchie Instagram 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

Bali on a Budget: Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K

Cheap Eats in Canggu When friends ask me, “Is Bali expensive?”, it’s not really a yes or no answer - it really depends on your lifestyle, what you like, what you need, what you’re used to...and what you eat. I’m a local, so my diet is pretty simple: chicken and rice is already more than enough. I’m also always happy with tempe, stir-fried veggies, and rice for just around 20K a plate. But if you’re here on holiday, you might want to treat yourself - and it’s very easy to spend 500K or even 1 million per person on a nice steak or a proper indulgent dining experience. And if you’re travelling Bali on a budget, warung (a small local eatery serving pre-cooked, homemade Indonesian dishes) is your best friend, along with these spots around Canggu I’ve carefully curated that are affordable, clean, and less likely to give you Bali belly. Cheap Eats in Canggu You may also like this article: 5 Must-Visit Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas THE GOOD OLD WARUNGS Warung Sika This is probably my most-visited warung in Canggu. I love it because they have such an extensive menu - some dishes rotate, but many are available every day. Try the tempe orek (stir-fried tempe), chicken rendang, bakwan jagung (corn fritters), and pretty much any of the veggie dishes - they’re all good. Just a heads-up: it can get super busy around lunchtime, so be prepared to queue, or try coming before or after 12. 💰 Price range: IDR 25K-75K/ meal ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 9am-9pm 📍 Address: Jl. Tanah Barak No.45, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Warung Sika Instagram Warung Jawa Bu Sri I think this warung is underrated. But if you want true Indo flavours, the kind we actually eat every day (not the adjusted versions for tourists), this is where you should go. You’ll find proper local dishes like pecel (steamed veggies with peanut sauce), ayam suwir balado (shredded chilli chicken), and Javanese-style rendang. Sri is the name of the super lovely lady who owns and runs the warung. 💰 Price range: IDR 15K-30K/ meal ⏰ Opening hours: 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong Br No.19, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Warung Jawa Bu Sri Instagram Warung Makan Siang This is the kind of warung that makes you feel like you’ve just dropped by a friend’s place and she’s cooked for you, hehe. The space is small, but just right. They’ve got all the usual Indonesian favourites on rotation, and every now and then there are special dishes like rawon (black beef soup) or sayur lodeh (vegetable soup with coconut milk). They also often stock desserts and iced coffee from local home businesses, which makes it feel even more homely. 💰 Price range: IDR 25K-50K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 11.30am-4pm 📍 Address: Jl. Beringin, Dalung, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Warung Makan Siang Instagram Warung Local I’ve been a customer since they first opened and I once sold my homemade cookies there, hehe. It’s great to see them growing bigger now (literally, space-wise). If you’re new to warung food, Warung Local is a good place to start. The flavours are “Indonesian enough” for us locals, but not too heavy on the seasoning, if you know what I mean. It’s also on the main Batu Bolong street, so it’s really easy to spot. 💰 Price range: IDR 50K-90K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 10am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.10, Canggu, Badung, Bali Image credit: Warung Local Instagram Warung Tiga Tiga means three, and yes - it’s the same as Warung Dua (two) in Umalas. I’d call this an elevated version of an Indo warung, because aside from the Indonesian menu, they also have Western favourites like lasagna and quiches, plus some healthier options - quite a few salad choices too. Price-wise, it’s adjusted to what they offer, so it’s more expensive than a regular warung, but still affordable. 💰 Price range: IDR 50K-90K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 7am-11pm 📍 Address: Jl. Nelayan No.27, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Warung Tiga Instagram You may also like this article: Bali Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations RICE BOWL, NOODLES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE Nasigo Rice bowls are probably the best fix when you’re busy and starving. Rice and protein in one container - whoever came up with that, thank you! Nasigo has a solid range of chicken options, from teriyaki to green chilli, starting from just 35K. If you’re more into beef, they’ve got ground beef with basil and a beef patty from 45K. Portions are generous too. And if you’re in the mood for something sweet, their iced matcha latte is a nice pick from just 35K. Get both a rice bowl and a matcha, and you’re still spending under 100K - not bad at all. 💰 Price range: From IDR 35K-45K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 11am - 8pm 📍 Address: Jl. Raya Babakan Canggu No.91, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Nasigo Instagram Daeng Burger Not all burgers in Canggu are pricey - some are still super affordable (but also decent), like Daeng Burger. They’ve got a wide range from classic beef burgers to chicken and vegetarian options, but my personal favourite is their Morrokowich panini. It’s got grilled harissa chicken, cheddar cheese, pico de gallo, rocket, and tzatziki sauce, and very delicious for just….drumroll please…59K! Woot woot! 💰 Price range: 59K-90K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 11am - 1am 📍 Address: Jl. Raya Babakan Canggu No.33A, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Daeng Burger Instagram Warung Ayu Ayam Bakar Ala Jimbaran This is a proper local Indo grilled chicken and seafood spot, but I’ve taken so many of my foreign friends here and they’ve all loved it so far. It’s done in that Jimbaran-style grilling; smoky, slightly sweet, nicely charred, and super flavourful, without having to drive all the way to Jimbaran. You can get a simple plate of rice and grilled chicken from just 45K, or go for a sharing platter that works for 2 up to 10 people if you’re coming with a group. You can also order your favourite seafood individually, from grilled fish to prawns, and more, and build your own feast. Super flexible, super satisfying, and great value for money. 💰 Price range: 45K-90K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 11am - 10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Kabupaten Badung, Bali Image credit: Warung Ayu Google page You may also like this article: Brunch in Bali - Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter Amy Wong Sometimes I’m in the mood for some Chinese-Indo comfort food, and when that craving hits, I always order from Amy Wong. They’ve got a cute little space, but somehow I always order online and I pretty much stick to the same thing every time: kwetiau goreng spesial (stir-fried rice noodles). Fun fact: when Indos put “spesial” on the menu, it usually means you’re getting the full upgrade; either a fried egg on top and/or all the extra topping, hehe. And also, don’t skip their fried bakso (Indo-style meatballs) for a snack! 💰 Price range: 25K-60K ⏰ Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 11am - 9pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Amy Wong Instagram Mie and More This little noodle shack makes one of the best Sichuan noodles I’ve had. Also, they added chicken and beef curry noodles to the menu, which is very dangerous (for my self-control). Be careful with their chilli oil - it’s so good you’ll want to pour a lot, but it packs a punch. And complete your noodles with a side of dumplings. They’ve got options from chicken, beef, pork, to mushroom. 💰 Price range: From IDR 50K ⏰ Opening hours: Mon, Wed-Sat, 1pm-12am, Tue 4pm-12am, Sun 7pm-12am 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.26, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Mie and More Instagram Happy Pork Rendang Rendang, but make it pork. It might be controversial in some parts of Indonesia, but clearly not in Bali, especially when it’s this good. True to the name, they specialise in pork rendang (that rich, slow-cooked Indonesian dry curry we all love). You can have it the classic way with rice, or switch things up with rendang nasi goreng, a rendang rice burger, or even a burrito. I’ve only tried it the traditional way so far, but I’m sure the rest of the menu is just as good. 💰 Price range: From IDR 25K ⏰ Opening hours: Mon-Sun, 8am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Raya Babakan Canggu No.27, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Happy Pork Rendang Instagram So, what do you think? Is Bali expensive? It really depends on how you choose to experience it. Here are just a few of my regular places around Canggu - and of course, the list will continue. What I like about living in Bali (or in Indonesia in general) is that it doesn’t force you into one way of living. You can keep it ultra-local with a 20K plate of rice from a humble warung, or go for the fancy options - both are valid ways to enjoy the island. Thank you for reading!
