Bali Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations

Bali Home Bakeries – Updated 2 November 2026

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!

Soeur Bakes

We first fell for their mini tarts: lemon meringue, cheese, and chocolate, all arranged into this pretty little wreath gifted to us by our friends. Fast forward to now, and they’ve got so many more goodies! Choux, cheesecakes, nastar cake, macarons, cookies…rraaahhh, so many sweet temptations. Everything looks as lovely as it tastes too, so if you’re looking for a pressie for loved ones, these are definitely worth a look!

Homie Buns

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.

Locale Baked

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

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.

Brunch in Bali: Rediscovering Legian through Farmer’s Daughter

Brunch in Bali has taken on many forms over the years, but while trendy neighbourhoods like Canggu and Uluwatu rise in popularity, Legian will always hold a special place in my little heart. I still have core memories of me and my cousin wandering the streets of Legian, going to the beach and getting our hair braided, shopping at Surfer Girl, when days felt unhurried and things were simpler. The neighbourhood has changed so much since then, as places naturally do. Still, there are pockets of Legian that feel reassuringly timeless. Some hotels have remained local favourites since the 90s, like Bali Mandira, holding onto their charm while growing alongside the area. And tucked away on a small street leading to the iconic Padma Beach - one of the surfers’ go-to spots, you’ll find a new charming coffee shop called Farmer’s Daughter. You make also like this article: 4 Must-Visit Underrated Coffee Shops in Canggu, Umalas, and Nearby Areas A Charming Coffee Shop in LegianRomanticising My Brunch in BaliSomething that Feels Like Home The warm welcoming ambiance of Farmer's Daughter A Charming Coffee Shop in Legian Decorated in woven bamboo, with earthy tones and natural textures, Farmer’s Daughter blends effortlessly into Bali’s laid-back rhythm. Its exterior alone already sets the tone: relaxed and inviting. This is the kind of coffee shop in Legian that feels perfect for slow mornings, brunches, or those unplanned meals that turn into long conversations. Whether you’re easing into the day with breakfast or stopping by after a beach walk, it immediately feels like somewhere you’re meant to linger. Romanticising My Brunch in Bali Serving everything you’d expect from a Bali café, Farmer’s Daughter offers a comforting menu of freshly baked pastries, desserts, and holiday-style dishes like pasta and fish and chips. (I still call it “holiday food” even though I live here, because it is what it is! lol.) For those days when you don’t feel like eating meat - which happens to me sometimes, there are also plenty of vegetarian options on the menu. Everything is made using locally sourced ingredients, which feels very on-brand for Bali. The island is blessed with such fresh produce, and I genuinely think every business should embrace that more. It’s one of the things that makes brunch in Bali feel special: simple food done well, with ingredients that actually taste like they were grown nearby. Farmer's Daughter has everything from pastries, desserts, and main courses Something that Feels Like Home The name "Farmer’s Daughter" is just so cute! It gives off that girl-next-door vibe; warm, humble, kind-hearted, and friendly - don’t you think? And it suits this little nook in Legian perfectly. Everything about the place feels genuine and unpretentious, from the décor to the service. There’s no pressure to dress up or rush through your meal. Instead, you’re met with effortless Indonesian hospitality that feels sincere and comforting, the kind that makes you want to come back. You’ll see a mix of locals, surfers fresh from the waves, families, and travellers who’ve wandered in by chance. It feels like a true neighbourhood coffee shop in Legian - welcoming to everyone.

Hehe. Try parking your scooter along the main Legian street and wandering through the smaller alleys like Gang Padma and beyond. You’ll be surprised by how many lovely spots are tucked away just a few steps from the busy road. And if you’re on holiday, bonus points: Farmer’s Daughter is close to the airport, making it the perfect stop after you’ve checked out of your hotel for that one last cup of coffee in Bali before flying home.

Missing Thailand? Here Are Our Regular Thai Restaurants in Bali

Thai Restaurants in Bali Since leaving my corporate job and being able to work from pretty much anywhere, I’ve been splitting my time between Thailand and Bali (for no particular reason, just because). Which has created a new problem; when I’m in Thailand, I miss my comfort Indo warung food. And when I’m back in Bali, I start craving Thai food. Classic, lol. Luckily, Bali’s food scene is pretty diverse - you can find almost every kind of cuisine on the island, Thai included. So we’ve put together a little list of our favourite Thai spots, mixing my personal go-tos with recommendations from the Kata Bella team. There’s no ranking or price category here, so expect everything from humble home warungs to slightly fancier Thai restaurants. Just pick whatever you’re in the mood for, and hopefully you’ll find a few new favourites along the way.

They’ve been around for ages, and I’ve been eating here since my first year of living in Bali back in 2013, so it’s pretty special to see them still going strong and serving up the same delicious food all these years later. The aunty and her husband still run the place themselves, and they’ve always been super lovely. My go-to orders are the tom yum and chicken pad see ew - simple, but heartwarming. 📍Google Map: Warung Bho Bho Thai Image credit: Bho Bho Thai Instagram Thai Kitchen - Canggu This spot is quite literally in the owner’s house, so it feels a bit like going over to someone’s place and having them cook you lunch or dinner, hehe. It’s run by a husband-and-wife duo (and I think the wife is Thai) with all the usual Thai favourites on the menu. Prices are pretty reasonable considering it’s in Republic of Canggu, and the portions are generous too. Just a heads-up: there’s no parking space for cars, so you’re better off coming by scooter or Gojek. 📍Google Map: Thai Kitchen Canggu Image credit: Thai Kitchen Google Page Warung Siam - Ubud Ever driven all the way to Ubud craving nasi campur, only to get there and have your brain decide it wants Thai food instead? That happens, lol. Make your way to Jalan Goutama for some pad kra pao, kor moo yang, khao soi and other comforting Thai favourites. The place has a warm, inviting feel, and their Thai tea is made with Cha Tra Mue - always a good sign. 📍Google Map: Warung Siam Image credit: Warung Siam Instagram Flavours of Ban - Canggu This one is a modern Thai kitchen where you’ll find some flavour combinations you probably wouldn’t expect, but somehow they just...work. I’d go Indo makan tengah style here (ordering a few dishes to share) - because you'll want to try more than one thing. My usual picks are the gai tod hat yai (fried chicken), moo tod nam pla (fried pork) and chicken tamarind salad. The lovely owner and his wife are almost always around to greet you, and if you're not sure what to order, they’re always happy to explain and recommend a few dishes. Give this one a try! 📍Google Map: Flavours of Ban Image credit: Flavours of Ban Instagram You may also like this article: Where to Go for Burgers in Bali - Kata Bella's List 2026 Anaga - Canggu This place feels fancy enough for a special occasion, but it’s also fine to just pop by on a regular day - which is what my friends and I often do. I don’t even have a particular menu favourite because everything I’ve tried here has been good. Call me boring, but among all the good things on the menu, I always order the tom yum goong, which comes in a generous portion, so I usually share it and get something else to have with rice, like the grilled chicken or pandan leaf chicken. 📍Google Map: Anaga Restaurant Image credit: Anaga Instagram Kat's Kitchen - Ungasan Nothing to do with Kat’s Kitchen in Chiang Mai, hehe, but it’s nice to have a "Kat’s Kitchen" of our own here in Bali. None of us at Kata Bella actually live in Ungasan or Pecatu, but whenever we’re in the neighbourhood, this is one of our go-to spots for dinner. It’s simple, no-fuss, homemade-style Thai food. All the usual Thai favourites are here too, from red and green curry to phanaeng curry and plenty more. 📍Google Map: Kat's Kitchen Ungasan, Kat's Kitchen Pecatu Image credit: Kat's Kitchen Instagram Khao - Canggu Thai food, but with a little bit of a fancy upgrade. The setting is still relaxed, with a lovely garden out the back. It’s casual enough for a laid-back meal, but also feels like the kind of place where you can dress up a little, bring your friends and make a night of it, or celebrate special occasions. The menu has all the Thai favourites you’d expect like tom yum, curries, fish cakes and more. Familiar Thai flavours, with a slightly more elevated touch. 📍Google Map: Khao Canggu Image credit: Khao Canggu Instagram And there you have it - a little guide to getting your Thai food fix in Bali. From humble home-style spots to more polished restaurants, there’s plenty to choose from depending on what you’re craving (and how hungry you are!). We’ll keep adding to this list as we discover more - because there’s no such thing as too many Thai food options. Kop khun kha for reading.

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!
