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-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

Image credit: Gather Instagram

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

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

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

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

⏰ 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

Sazón Bali : Spanish flavours in Canggu

Spanish Restaurant in Canggu Bali is such a melting pot of cultures, and as a food lover, I feel like the dining options here are endless. I love Indonesian and Balinese food, of course - but I also enjoy trying dishes from other countries. One of the things I really appreciate about living in Bali is that I can explore so many different cuisines without having to travel far. Not long ago, a friend of mine from Regent Bali Canggu invited me to the grand opening of one of their new restaurants, Sazón. They gave us a little sneak peek of what’s on the menu during the party, and it made me want to come back for more. And I did! I went back to Sazon, and here’s a little story about my evening filled with delicious Spanish food and good company. I rarely eat Spanish food and, I gotta be honest, I didn’t know much beyond the famous paella. But Chef Javier passionately walked us through each dish as he served our dinner, from starters to dessert - and I soaked it all up like story time on a plate. I enjoyed every bite. Here’s what we had. You may also like this article: What it's like to live in Bali - Cost, Culture, and Everyday Life Gilda “Look it up on Google,” Chef Javier said. Turns out Gilda is a 1946 black-and-white romance film starring Rita Hayworth. So, why was the Gilda on my plate marinated tuna with olives and peppers? hehe. Well, Gilda is a classic Spanish tapa named after the film because, just like the movie, it’s bold, salty, and full of spicy flavour. It was a lovely intro to the courses that followed. Pa Amb Tomàquet As simple as it looks, and as basic as it sounds on the menu; bread, tomato, ham - this dish tasted like so much more than just those three elements. I’m not exactly sure where all the flavour came from, but wow, my taste buds and tummy did a little happy dance. The ham isn’t your average ham, it’s Jamón Ibérico, a premium cured pork from Spain. I could’ve easily eaten a whole plate of it, but there was more food on the way, and I had to save some room in my tiny stomach. Croquetas The name pretty much says it all. We have an Indonesian version called kroket - pronounced the same. We tried the one filled with mushrooms, and it was deliciosa! You may like this article: Bali-based Home Bakeries to Sweeten Your Celebrations Japanese Scallop, Ajoblanco Just when I thought it was time for the main course, another round of sharing bites arrived. At this point, I started to regret my fitted outfit choice! Haha, I probably left Sazón looking three months pregnant (with food baby, of course). Okay, back to the dish - I’m a big seafood fan, especially scallops, and everything in this one worked perfectly together: dill, cucumber, almonds. Patatas Bravas Potatoes - but make it fancy, with aioli and spicy tomato. I’ve always loved potatoes in any form, but I didn’t know there was another kind to love… until this. Ibérico Grilled Pork & Mushroom Paella And here it is - the main event and the highlight of my evening: the paella. Rich, comforting, and full of flavour, this dish perfectly combines tender Ibérico grilled pork with earthy mushrooms. Even though it’s not something I eat often, it tasted very comforting and somehow familiar. Santiago Cake, Orange Curd & Toasted Meringue I’m a dessert person, and I believe there’s always room for dessert—but we were heading into a serious food coma, so we decided to share the Santiago cake, a Spanish almond cake. It’s flourless and moist with a sponge-like texture—not too sweet, with a lovely hint of citrus from the orange curd. All in all, Sazón is a great addition to Canggu’s buzzing dining scene. Whether you’re into Spanish food or just here for a tasty night out like me, they serve up good vibes and even better dishes. Their tagline, “más amor, por favor” (more love, please), totally fits - you can tell everything’s made with a lot of love. Can’t wait to go back and try even more from the menu. Gracias, Sazón! 📍 Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No. 93 xx, Canggu, Kuta Utara, Bali 80361, 🕒 Open daily, 6pm till late 🪑 Indoor & outdoor seating 💰 Price range: 250K-500K 📞 Reservation WA: +62 811-3831-6575

Aesthetic Cafes in Ubud: 7 Beautiful Spots Worth Adding to Your Itinerary

Aesthetic cafes in Ubud. I rarely find myself heading to Ubud, but whenever I do, I’m always reminded that one day is never quite enough. Aside from its lush landscapes and slower pace, Ubud has a way of offering experiences that feel fresh and different from other Bali neighbourhoods - from wandering through art spaces and rice field trails to joining creative workshops, chasing hidden waterfalls, or simply finding a quiet corner surrounded by nature. And then...the coffee shops! So many beautiful cafes to explore, so little time, and (sadly) only so much space in my stomach, haha. With earthy interiors, jungle views, and that unmistakable Ubud aesthetic that just hits different, every coffee stop feels like a little experience of its own - from the way sunlight filters through rattan lampshades to how your matcha latte somehow looks even better against a perfect terracotta backdrop. Here are a few of those aesthetic cafes in Ubud that are worth adding to your list. You may also like this article: 10 Aesthetic Canggu Cafes and Restaurants Kopi Pangeran Walking into Kopi Pangeran feels a little like stepping through an old royal gate from a bygone Javanese kingdom — the kind of charming, slightly hidden entrance that makes you curious about what’s inside. The vibe is warm, humble, and inviting. The outdoor area is a lovely spot to slow down, enjoy the surroundings, and just take your time. You might come here because it’s a pretty place (and yes, it’s very photogenic), but you’ll probably end up staying for the freshly brewed coffee and that cosy, laid-back feeling. Kopi Pangeran | 📍Jl. Penestanan, Sayan, Kecamatan Ubud Image credit: Kopi Pangeran Instagram Cafe Lilu From the outside, it has a relaxed bohemian look, and walking in almost feels like you're visiting a friend's house. The inside space is homely, with natural touches and a tatami seating area that makes you want to kick back and stay awhile. And since it's located near the Monkey Forest, don't be surprised if a cheeky monkey pops up at the window to see what's on your plate, hehe. Cafe Lilu | 📍Jl. Nyuh Bojog, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud Image credit: Care Lilu Instagram You may also like this article: Restaurants in Legian and Seminyak - Kata Bella's Picks 2026 Lazy Cats Cafe This one is quite iconic, but it still deserves a spot on the list. Lazy Cats Cafe has that effortlessly cool Ubud charm - a rustic interior with high ceilings, unfinished walls, and mismatched sofas that come together perfectly. The interior feels cosy, artistic, and a little bit quirky, like an old, slightly abandoned living room that's somehow comfortable to spend a couple of hours in, slowly sipping on a long black with a small bite. Lazy Cats Cafe | 📍Jl. Raya Ubud No.11, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud Image credit: Lazy Cats Cafe Instagram This is Bali This place feels like stepping into a dreamy little doll house with its all-white interior and playful mezzanine seating. It’s not a big space, but it’s full of character. Everything feels thoughtfully designed, from the cosy layout to the little details that make the experience special. Even the glassware and plates they use add to the cute, whimsical atmosphere, making the whole place feel like a carefully curated little world. This is Bali | 📍 Jl. Goutama No.2, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud Image credit: This is Bali Instagram Jinny's Garden Tucked away down one of the little alleys off Jalan Goutama, Jinny's Garden is a cute semi-outdoor cafe surrounded by lush greenery, with warm, inviting lighting and a relaxed atmosphere. It may be small, but it's cosy and there's upstairs seating area as well. The menu offers plenty of Western dishes to choose from, though unfortunately there aren't any desserts. Jinny's Garden | 📍Jl. Goutama, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud Sacra Stuja If you're after a place with that laid-back Ubud vibe, this is the spot. It feels calm from the outside, and once you step in, you'll find a cosy bohemian space that almost feels like a giant tent, with plenty of natural touches and lush greenery adding to its charm. If you've got your furry friend with you, you'll be happy to know it's pet-friendly too. Sacra Stuja | 📍 Nyuh Kuning Rd Desa Adat No.77x, Mas, Ubud Image credit: Sacra Stuja Instagram Clear Cafe You step inside, but then somehow find yourself in the “outdoors”, hehe. Clear Cafe's open-air space is surrounded by lush greenery, with a peaceful fish pond creating the calming sound of flowing water. Filled with natural elements, warm textures, and plenty of plants, the whole place feels like a hidden garden escape where you can slow down and enjoy a quiet moment in Ubud. Clear Cafe | 📍 Jl. Hanoman No.8, Ubud, Kecamatan Ubud Image credit: Clear Cafe Instagram Note to self: spend more time in Ubud. While the aesthetic spots are definitely worth exploring, there’s something special about being surrounded by this greener, slower side of Bali again. Ubud has grown and changed over the years, but somehow the feeling I remember from when I was little is still there - the calm energy, and that little bit of magic in the air. Hopefully, it stays this way for many years to come. And just like my other restaurant lists, this one will keep growing. The Kata Bella troop will continue exploring, discovering, and finding more hidden gems to share with you along the way.

Balinese Food Guide: From Suckling Pig to Local Favourites

Balinese Food Guide: From Suckling Pig to Local Favourites Some come to Bali for the beaches, some for the wellness lifestyle, and others come with one mission: eat their way around the island! Bali is famous for babi guling, or Balinese suckling pig, a whole pig traditionally stuffed with a rich blend of spices, then slowly roasted until the skin turns beautifully crrrissspyy! It's also a dish often associated with Balinese ceremonies and special occasions, though you can find it at local warungs and eateries, too. Babi guling might steal the spotlight, but there are also other tasty Balinese dishes to explore. So, if your belly is ready for a little adventure, here's where our Balinese friends think you should eat.

There's babi guling to eat. This long-standing spot in Tegallalang, Gianyar, has been serving Balinese suckling pig since the 1990s. They open at 5am - yes, 5am! And they sell out pretty quickly, so a super early visit is your best bet, because once the pork is gone, it's gawnn! 📍Google Map: Babi Guling Bu Desak Sapat Image credit: Babi Guling Bu Desak Sapat Instagram Babi Guling Jero Kawan - Munggu The crispy skin is a must-try, and it's full of flavour! The portions are generous, there's a good mix of side dishes, and you can ask for non-spicy if you're not brave enough, hehe. It's also not too far from Canggu, so if you're getting a little tired of Instagram-famous coffee shops, here's your excuse to get out and explore some proper local flavours. Your taste buds will thank you. 📍Google Map: Babi Guling Jero Kawan Image credit: Babi Guling Jero Kawan Instagram Babi Guling Men Lari - Canggu In the middle of Canggu’s cafes, gyms and protein smoothies, you’ll find a traditional-looking restaurant tucked in the corner, serving none other than babi guling. Pretty sure you’ve spotted it from the main road on your way to padel or pilates, lol. They serve babi guling the classic way in a plate of nasi campur with aaaaall the good stuff. 📍Google Map: Babi Guling Men Lari Image credit: Babi Guling Men Lari Google page Paon Dwaji - Denpasar Here, you can get your chicken or duck grilled, smoked, or cooked Betutu-style (seasoned with Balinese mix of spices, usually wrapped and slow-cooked until tender). The meat is juicy and flavourful, and if you can handle a bit of heat, have it with sambal matah, Bali's fresh raw chilli condiment made with chopped shallots, lemongrass, chillies and a squeeze of lime. It's fragrant, spicy and adds a lovely kick to every bite. 📍Google Map: Paon Dwaji Image credit: Paon Dwaji Google page You may also like this article: Oleh-Oleh Bali to Bring Home Other than Pie Susu Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Ibu Mangku - Ubud They have five branches now, but our favourite is still the OG in Kedewatan, Ubud. Here, you get to dine in a bale (Balinese pavilion) surrounded by garden views. It's giving that old-school Bali holiday feeling, before beach clubs took over the island, lol. The menu is pretty simple; rice and chicken - that's tasty as fudge! Don't forget to try their sate lilit - it's a Balinese minced meat mixed with spices and grated coconut, wrapped around a lemongrass stalk or skewer. 📍Google Map: Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Ibu Mangku Image credit: Nasi Ayam Kedewatan Instagram Warung Mek Juwel - Ubud Another Ubud legend, this spot has been serving up local goodness since the 80s. Like most nasi campur (mixed rice), expect a plate of rice with a little bit of everything: chicken, sate lilit, egg, urap (a Balinese salad of boiled vegetables tossed with grated coconut) and, of course, sambal. It's a simple, satisfying plate that brings together all those lovely Balinese flavours in one go. 📍Google Map: Warung Mek Juwel Nasi Campur Ayam Image credit: Warung Mek Juwel Google page Warkop Mang Siko - Tabanan Warkop, short for warung kopi, basically means coffee shop. And yes, they do serve coffee, but you wouldn't drive all the way to Tabanan just for a cup. The real reason to make the trip is their brisket and smoked chicken, served Bali-style with rice and all the usual sambal goodness. It's also a nice spot to take a little break from Bali's touristy hotspots and enjoy a more laid-back side of the island. 📍Google Map: Warkop Mang Siko Image credit: Warkop Mang Siko Google Page You may also like this article: Kids Friendly Restaurants in Bali with Playgrounds Babi Guling Men Wenci - Sangeh When was the last time you visited Bali and went to Sangeh? Not that you need an excuse to venture outside of the usual Bali's popular neighbourhoods, but if you're looking for one, how about a plate of delicious babi guling at Men Wenci? Hehe. Maybe this local food gem is just the motivation you need to explore another side of Bali that's full of local charm. 📍Google Map: Babi Guling Men Wenci Sangeh Image credit: Babi Guling Men Wenci Google page Sate Babi Bledor - Sangeh And while in Sangeh, make another stop at Sate Babi Bledor. It’s the Indonesian-style satay with that good ol’ peanut sauce we all know and love, but make it pork. The pork skewers are traditionally grilled over charcoal, giving them that lovely smoky aroma and slightly charred edges, hmmmm. There are two locations in the area, but both are run by the same owner. 📍Google Map: Sate Babi Bledor I, Sate Babi Bledor II Image credit: Sate Babi Bledor Google page Guling Samsam Merekak - Mengwi They have four locations, but the one closest to us is in Mengwi. Their signature dish is guling samsam, which is a rolled pork belly packed with Balinese spices and cooked until crispy. You can order it as a sharing portion if you're coming with friends, or have it as part of a nasi campur if you want to try a bit of everything on one plate. It's definitely one for the pork lovers! 📍Google Map: Guling Samsam Merekak Image credit: Guling Samsam Merekak Google page Bali's food scene goes waayyy beyond avo on toast, smoothie bowls and pretty brunch spots. Not that we don't love those too! But sometimes, the best way to get to know the island is through its local food, little warungs and places you might not find on your usual Bali itinerary. So save this guide for next time you're wondering where to eat. Your next favourite meal might be waiting somewhere unexpected. Thank you for reading and hope you enjoy this listicle!
