Bali Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations: Updated List 2026

Bali Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations: Updated List 2026 Image

I’m all about supporting local bakeries, especially since I was once a home baker myself – though my baking career only lasted two years during the pandemic lol. That short stint gave me a real appreciation for how challenging it is to run a home bakery. You’re basically a one-person show, handling everything from taking orders and buying ingredients to the actual baking, packaging, and delivery. It’s a non-stop hustle, and knowing that, I make it a point to support small, emerging businesses whenever I can.

In this article, I have collected my top favourite home bakeries that I think deserve a spotlight. Whether you’re planning a celebration or just looking for a sweet treat to brighten your day, these gems will not disappoint. So, let’s dive in and show some love to these talented bakers!

They make breads ranging from simple shapes to adorable designs, with a variety of fillings like chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, salted caramel, as well as cupcakes and cookies. They even have a special birthday edition that comes with candles and a lovely ribbon-wrapped box. Now, they regularly create hampers for special occasions like Christmas, Eid al-Fitr, Chinese New Year, and Galungan, making them well worth checking out if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for family and friends.

Their greatest hit is the cheesetart. And while the original is always a classic, my personal encore goes to the lemon tart, John Lemon, especially when enjoyed half-frozen! Trust me on this little trick and thank me later! 😉 And their menu is a symphony of puns: Edam Levine (yes, it features Edam cheese, lol), and Ayumi Hamachaki, a delightful choice for matcha lovers – highly recommended. You can order via Gojek, or catch them live at La Brisa Market every Sunday.

When you think of scones, think of Locale Baked. They offer everything from classic plain scones to unique flavours like lemon glazed, salted caramel butter (their top three bestsellers), earl grey, double chocolate, and even savoury options like garlic butter herb and cheddar tomato basil. A friend recommended them, so I decided to order for another friend’s birthday – and she absolutely loved it! If you go for the classic plain scones, they come with cream and jam. Besides scones, they also whip up choux, pound cakes, éclairs, and other special-edition sweet treats.

Fika & Stories

This one is a newcomer to Bali’s home-bakery scene, but it’s already getting plenty of attention for its delicious cinnamon buns. What makes it special is its focus on Swedish treats – fika is a Swedish tradition of enjoying coffee, usually with something sweet. Staying true to its name, they bake small batches of Swedish favourites like biskvi, a chewy almond base topped with buttercream and dipped in chocolate; kolasnittar, Sweden’s beloved cookies with crisp edges and a chewy centre; and thumbprint cookies, buttery shortbread filled with strawberry jam.

I ordered their carrot cake just for fun – no special occasion. But since they make whole cakes in a mini size (10cm diameter), it was the perfect little treat! They deserve the highest compliment an Asian can give a cake: NOT…TOO….SWEET!!! hehe. Besides carrot cake, they also make salted caramel coffee cake, matcha dark chocolate cake, and Dutch boterkoek. These cakes also come in a sharing size (18cm).

Little G

They make whole cakes and I discovered Little G because so many of my friends have ordered from them over the years – so I figured, they must be good, right? One day, in true last-minute fashion (because I’m so organised like that, lol), I messaged them to order a birthday cake for my husband. Despite the short notice, they responded with a positive “can-do” attitude, accepted my order, and delivered exactly what I asked for. The birthday boy absolutely loved it, and as a serious cake lover, his review is trustworthy. I can’t say the same for myself since I don’t eat cake, but with his honest feedback and the rave reviews from my cake-loving friends, I wholeheartedly recommend Little G for your special occasions – just try to be more organised than me 😉

Bu Toha

https://www.instagram.com/butoha_

As a true Indo kid, I can’t leave out jajan pasar (various Indonesian traditional snacks, commonly found in markets), because they are a staple for special occasions. A few times, I’ve even sent jajan pasar as a birthday gift for friends. These traditional Indonesian treats aren’t just delicious and nostalgic; they also make for a beautiful and thoughtful present. My go-to place is Bu Toha. They offer stress-free packages if you want everything pre-arranged, but if you’re feeling picky, you can customise your own tampah (woven bamboo tray) hamper by ordering items individually (just keep in mind there’s a minimum order for each). They also make Balinese jajan pasar, which is perfect for friends celebrating Balinese ceremonies.

At the end of the day, what makes home bakeries special isn’t just the cakes or the cookies – it’s the heart behind them. Each order supports someone’s passion, creativity, and countless hours spent perfecting their craft, often from their own kitchen. So whether you’re celebrating something big or simply craving a little sweetness, choosing a local home bakery is always a good idea. And if you discover your new favourite homemade treats along the way, share it with me! I will happily try it and feature it in this article.

Vegan Cafes in Canggu: 5 Nice Spots for Your Daily Greens Image

Vegan Cafes in Canggu: 5 Nice Spots for Your Daily Greens

Vegan Cafes in Canggu I’m not vegan, but when I really think about it, the Indonesian diet is actually heavily plant-based. I grew up eating tempe, tofu, steamed mushrooms, stir-fried vegetables, and vegetable soups without ever thinking of them as “vegan food” - they were just normal everyday meals at home. Meat was often more of a side dish or something for special occasions, while vegetables, soy-based proteins, rice, and simple home cooking were the real foundation of the diet. In my family, at least. So now that I’m an adult with free will and access to basically any food I want, I still naturally enjoy vegetables every now and then. My parents eat almost entirely plant-based these days too, so I guess I still follow that rhythm - and living in Canggu definitely makes it easy, because vegan options are everywhere. Here’s a mix of places I’ve personally tried myself, plus a few recommendations from my friends too. You may also like this article: 5 Must-Visit Best Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas The Shady Shack They’ve been around for ages, and they’re proof that vegan and vegetarian food doesn’t have to be sad. Find colourful nourishing plates, vegan burgers, smoothie bowls, fresh juices, and raw vegan desserts in a relaxed jungle-like setting hidden away from the main road. 📍 Jl. Tanah Barak No.53, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Badung Regency, Bali⏰ Monday to Sunday, 7.30am-10.30pm Image credit: The Shady Shack Instagram I Am Vegan Babe This place has quite an extensive menu; vegan tacos, burgers, breakfast plates, desserts, cakes, smoothies, and comfort food that doesn’t feel “too healthy". hehe. The vibe is lively, social, modern, and it’s become pretty popular among travellers staying around Canggu. 📍 Jl. Tanah Barak No.49, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Badung Regency, Bali⏰ Monday to Sunday, 7am-10pm Image credit: I am Vegan Babe Instagram You may also like this article: Things to do in Bali - Fun Art Classes at Rumah Rabbit KYND Community When you spot a bright pink restaurant on Jalan Nelayan, that’s it, that’s KYND Community. And yes, the meals really are as cute in real life as they look on Instagram. You can build your own protein bowl, or go for pasta, burgers, sandwiches, smoothie bowls, and colourful brunch plates - because vegan food doesn’t always have to be salad, right? 📍 Jl. Nelayan No.31, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Bali⏰ Monday to Sunday, 7am-9pm Image credit: Kynd Community Instagram Warung Dua Hati I feel like this place is underrated, but if you’re craving vegan Indonesian food, give Warung Dua Hati a try. Alongside local dishes, they also serve Western meals and smoothie bowls too, so you still have plenty of options. Ps. “Dua Hati” means “two hearts,” so I’m guessing that’s why the rice is heart-shaped, hehe. 📍 Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan No.12D, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Bali⏰ Monday to Sunday, 7am-10pm Image credit: Warung Dua Hati Instagram Oma Jamu Here’s another vegan Indonesian spot worth trying. Oma Jamu has a warung-style display with ready-made dishes, which is perfect if you arrive starving and want to eat straight away. And from the name “Oma Jamu,” you can expect that they also have a great selection of homemade jamu (Indonesian traditional herbal drinks). 📍 Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.46A, Canggu, Bali ⏰ Mon–Sat 8AM–11PM, Sun 10AM–9PM Image credit: Oma Jamu Instagram Those are my five spots for now. But really, other than the vegan-labelled cafés, it’s super easy to find plant-based options everywhere in Canggu (and in Indonesia). Most restaurants are also pretty flexible these days and cater to all kinds of diets. Hope you find this useful, and stay tuned for more on the list.

My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 1 Image

My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 1

Canggu Restaurant List. Canggu might be a teeny, tiny spot on the map of Bali, but it has pretty much everything you need. From places to stay, entertainment, gyms to most importantly...food, the options are endless. We are spoiled for choice here, with everything from Indonesian and Asian to Western favourites. It almost makes the chaotic streets feel… worth it, lol (for those who keep asking why I live in Bali’s busiest hotspot). With so many places to try, there’s no way I can squeeze everything into one article - so I’m breaking it into two (maybe even three). So here’s part one: my Canggu restaurant list for light bites and healthy options. FOR QUICK LUNCH AND BITES Deli CangguTony’s New York PizzaTygr SushiHoi An by MeVuiHEARTWARMING COMFORT FOODSoogi RollYumei NoodlesAnagaWei To GoTHE HEALTHY ALTERNATIVESUnibowlTaco CasaOrganicaliWarung Coco You may also like this article: My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 2 FOR QUICK LUNCH AND BITES  Deli Canggu Sometimes it gets so hot in Bali that you don’t even feel like eating hot meals. On those days, I either drive to Deli Canggu or GoFood for their sandwiches. They literally only do sandwiches on the entire menu, plus a few sides and drinks. My number one pick is the beef pastrami sourdough sandwich, followed closely by the roast chicken focaccia. 💰 Price range: IDR 75K-85K  ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 6am-6pm 📍 Address: Jl. Nelayan No.73c, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Deli Instagram Tony’s New York Pizza Who knew my jiu jitsu coach would turn out to be a pizza-preneur, and a good one too?! It started with a small pizza joint in Pererenan, I blinked and now I’ve lost count of how many branches he has across Bali alone. Anyway, I’m not just saying this just because I like Tony (halo Pak!) but the pizzas are good. Nice crispy dough, great sauce, generous toppings…everything just hits right, the way a proper New York slice should. Pepperoni is a must-have, but my personal favourite is the buffalo chicken pizza, paired with one of those lemony fizzy drinks from the fridge and lots of ice. Mantap! 💰 Price range: IDR 50K-150K ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 11am-12am, Sat and Sun 11am-1.30am 📍 Address: Jl. Raya Tiyingtutul No.25, Canggu, Kec. Mengwi, Badung, Bali Image credit: Tony's Pizza Instagram You may also like this article: 5 Must-Visit Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas Tygr Sushi This is also where I go when I don’t feel like having hot meals, plus it’s a closed, air-conditioned space - which already makes it a win in Bali heat for me. They serve Japanese comfort food like sushi, curry rice, karaage, and gyoza, and I always have to save room for their matcha mochi ice cream, which very often sells out. 💰 Price range: IDR 100K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 11am-11pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.55, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali Image credit: Tygr Sushi Instagram Hoi An by MeVui Reasonably priced delicious Vietnamese food in a cosy spot. They’ve opened a few other branches now, but since I live in Canggu, this is my go-to. When I need something quick after the gym, I usually get com ga (gilled boneless chicken with a sunny-side-up egg and rice). If I’m feeling a bit tired or under the weather, their hearty beef or chicken pho always hits the spot. And when I’m feeling a little snacky (and naughty), I can’t resist their deep-fried spring rolls. 💰 Price range: IDR 35K-150K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 9am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Padang Linjong, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali  Image credit: Hoi An by MeVui Instagram You may also like this article: Bali on a Budget - Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K HEARTWARMING COMFORT FOOD Soogi Roll If you enjoy watching Korean dramas, this place looks exactly like something straight out of one. They’ve recently moved to a new space that’s bigger and more comfortable, making it even better for a cosy meal. It’s perfect for those days when you’re craving something warm and soupy, like ramyeon or sundubu. They also serve the all-time favourite Korean gochujang chicken and, of course, Korean sushi rolls. 💰 Price range: IDR 150K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 10am-10pm 📍 Address: Check their Instagram for the new location Image credit: Soogi Roll Instagram Yumei Noodles You should try Yumei if you like Sichuan-style noodles. The noodles are made fresh daily. Their braised beef noodles are the star on the menu, but I prefer their dry noodles - you can have it spicy, medium spicy, or not spicy at all. The portions are big for me, so I usually share one with a friend and order wontons on the side. It’s the kind of comforting, no-fuss meal that hits the spot every time. 💰 Price range: IDR 150K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 11am-2am 📍 Address: Jl. Nelayan No.34, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung Image credit: Yumei Instagram Anaga Sometimes I wake up from a nap on a slow Sunday craving good Thai food. And when that happens, I head straight to Anaga for their tom yum, which tastes just like the ones I've had in Thailand. If I'm going with a group of friends, we'll usually order a few dishes to share, like the pad thai, Thai fried chicken, fish cakes, and red curry. Ps. They have shirataki tom yum fried "rice" on the menu if you're trying to cut back on carbs but still want to indulge a little *wink wink 💰 Price range: IDR 150K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 11am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.88, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung Image credit: Anaga Instagram Wei To Go I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t like Chinese food. I love all kinds of food and international cuisines, but I’m almost always in the mood for warm rice with stir-fried vegetables, dumplings, noodles, honey sesame chicken, or black pepper beef. So yeah, that’s how I know I was meant to be born in this world as an Asian. 💰 Price range: IDR 150K-250K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 11am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Sempol No.26, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Kabupaten Badung Image credit: Wei To Go Instagram THE HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES Unibowl If you want salads that don’t make you sad, Unibowl is the one. You can have it with rice, like a poke bowl, or go all-in on greens - it’s already super filling because of the generous portion (sometimes I can’t even finish). You can also build your own bowl - which I always do because I’m picky, hehe. I usually go for miso prawn or chimichurri chicken for the protein, along with all the beaaans!By the way there’s also another Unibowl in Umalas Bumbal.  💰 Price range: IDR 65K-150K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 12pm-9.30pm 📍 Address: Jl. Sempol No.17, Pererenan, Kec. Mengwi, Badung, Bali Image credit: Unibowl Instagram Taco Casa Another option for delicious, health-ish food: Mexican (well… if you don’t go too hard on the sour cream and crispy tortillas lol). Go for a naked burrito with chicken, or their soft tacos with the protein of your choice. It’s never a bad idea to grab a quick lunch at Taco Casa. You can also check out their other locations in Petitenget or Ubud. 💰 Price range: IDR 65K-150K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Fri, 10am-10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Batu Mejan Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali Image credit: Taco Casa Instagram Organicali You can find salads and wraps here at pretty reasonable prices, and they’re actually good. There’s also a build-your-own option if you want to customise. They’ve got low-calorie rice bowls too - I haven’t tried them yet, but the menu looks interesting: fajita chicken, chicken rendang, Korean BBQ, and more. 💰 Price range: IDR 65K-100K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sun, 8am - 10pm 📍 Address: Jl. Raya Semat, Tibubeneng, Badung, Bali  Instagram credit: Organicali Instagram Warung Coco Healthy doesn’t always have to mean salad, right? And you really can’t separate Indos from nasi campur (rice with various side dishes), hehe. I like Warung Coco because the food tastes clean and light, not oily like a lot of Indonesian or Asian food can be. It also doesn’t feel too heavy on the salt or seasoning. I’ve always ordered it online through GoFood or GrabFood, but you can also dine in at their warung. 💰 Price range: IDR 50K-100K per person ⏰ Opening hours: Mon to Sat, 11am-5pm 📍 Address: Tumbak Bayuh, Mengwi, Badung, Bali  Image credit: Warung Coco Instagram The list will keep growing as I find more places I like. And in a separate article, I've written different types of restaurants in Canggu; smart dining for special occasions, girls’ nights, or date nights. Thank you for reading 🙂

Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak: Kata Bella's Picks 2026 Image

Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak: Kata Bella's Picks 2026

Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak. I know some of you might think these neighbourhoods aren’t as cool as they used to be. But for many families travelling with kids, they remain a top choice because of their proximity to the airport and the convenience they offer. You’ll find everything you need here - from great 5-star hotels and beaches to shops, supermarkets, medical centres, and, most importantly, plenty of places to eat. Legian and Seminyak are packed with fantastic restaurants, from breakfast spots to dinner favourites. I used to live around here, and on a recent visit, I spent some time exploring both old favourites and new openings to find the places that I’d happily recommend to my readers. So, here are some of the places that made the list. You may also like this article: Breakfast Spots in Canggu Worth Waking Up Early For Farmer's Daughter It's not ranked by favourites, but this new spot in Legian deserves to be at the top of the list. Not only is the place cute and cosy, but it also serves excellent pastries and coffee. If you're after a proper brunch or lunch, the menu has some interesting options like cauliflower steak and fried chicken waffles. For something quick to grab on your way to the beach - which is only a two-minute walk away, you can get one of their baguette sandwiches. And whatever you do, please save room for dessert! The pistachio kunafa mousse is a must-try, or come back just for the cakes because they're absolutely worth it. Makan Place This place is best known for its pork knuckle, which they say is enough for two. But I won't judge if you decide to take that as a personal challenge. Makan Place is my go-to pit stop whenever I'm running errands around Legian because the menu covers pretty much every craving. You can have some "sneaky holiday food" like a Korean fried chicken burger or chicken parmy, or opt for something a little lighter like my favourite Asian chicken salad or the pan-seared salmon. And if you've never tried Indonesian or Balinese food before, this is also a great place for your first taste. I'd recommend starting with the beef rendang or the fried duck - both are solid introductions to local flavours. Image credit: Makan Place Instagram You may also like this article: Bali on a Budget - Cheap Eats in Canggu for Under 100K Miya Social Another new spot in Legian, this one is perfect for families. The restaurant is spacious, with plenty of parking for both cars and scooters (important for Legian!), plus a dedicated playground area to keep the little ones entertained. Their signature dish is Miya's charcoal chicken, served with your choice of sauce ranging from mild and medium to spicy or sambal matah, and you can have it with sides like sweet corn and coleslaw. Another standout is the peri-peri chicken pizza, which is well worth ordering for the table. And then of course, dessert! Try their sticky toffee pudding with miso toffee sauce, almond streusel, and vanilla gelato. Three words: yum, yumm, and yummm! Wild Habit Pizza From the name, you can probably guess that wood-fired pizza is the star of the show here. Located on a corner lot in the heart of Seminyak, it's one of those places that's easier to reach on foot if you're already exploring the area, rather than dealing with traffic and parking. I've eaten here more than once, and these are some of my personal favourites: start with the charred octopus skewers and truffle & brie croquettes, then move on to the spicy salami & mozzarella pizza and spicy chorizo vodka pasta. If you're a truffle lover, the truffle pappardelle is also a winner. And please don't skip dessert! My favourite is the Italian flourless chocolate cake. Me Vui You can eaily spot this place when you're walking around Legian. Its bright yellow façade practically invites you in, and it looks just like an eatery you'd stumble upon in Vietnam. The menu covers all the Vietnamese classics you'd hope for; comforting bowls of pho, delicious banh mi, spring rolls, and many more. I've been here so many times and so far I haven't had a bad meal. It's the kind of place that's equally good for a quick lunch, or a casual dinner with friends. If you're not sure what to order, don't stress too much, because it's one of those places where almost everything you order is a safe bet. Image credit: Me Vui Instagram You may also like this article: My Little Canggu Restaurant List - Part 1 Sushimi I have so many fond memories from my younger years at this Sushimi branch, and I'm happy to report that they’ve managed to maintain their quality after all this time. If you're after a quick sushi fix, the sushi train is the way to go. They also have an a la carte menu of Japanese comfort food and snacks. If you're arriving hungry, I'd recommend the bento set. It's a meal in itself, with a little bit of everything; sushi, edamame, karaage, and more. It also comes with miso soup and iced or hot green tea. The space is quite small and there's no dedicated parking area, so I'd suggest coming by scooter, walking if you're nearby, or simply ordering a Gojek. Sinaloa When you arrive at Sinaloa, you'll be greeted by the giant skulls at the entrance - one of the restaurant's most iconic features. If you enjoy people-watching, grab a seat downstairs by the bar, and if you'd prefer something a little quieter, head upstairs where it's usually more relaxed. This Mexican-inspired restaurant is open from breakfast through to late evening for drinks. The menu is packed with crowd-pleasers, including nachos, burritos, tacos, and churros, alongside a good selection of cocktails and refreshing drinks. While newer neighbourhoods in Bali continue to steal the spotlight, Legian and Seminyak remain two of the island's most reliable areas when it comes to food and convenience. Whether you're looking for a quick coffee, a family-friendly lunch, local Indonesian flavours, or a long dinner that turns into a late night out, there's something here for everyone. And just like my other restaurant lists, this one will continue to grow as I discover more places worth sharing. I hope you find this guide useful, and I hope it leads you to some delicious meals along the way. Happy holiday and thank you for reading!
