Vegan Cafes in Canggu: 5 Nice Restaurants 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

New Canggu Restaurant Has Arrived: Mykaza at The Arc House

New Canggu Restaurant Has Arrived: Mykaza at The Arc House Canggu is never short of places to eat. From charming little cafes in quiet corners to late-night favourites that keep the crowds coming, there always seems to be a new spot popping up around every corner. And now, there’s another one to add to the list - a place for slow afternoons, golden-hour sunsets, and laid-back weekends in Canggu. Tucked inside The Arc House Canggu, a boutique retreat with 19 private pool suite villas, lies Mykaza - a little rooftop oasis with an easy, feel-good energy. The vibe is elevated yet relaxed, with that effortless barefoot Bali charm. What began as a modern Japanese izakaya concept evolved when the team moved to Bali. Surrounded by the island’s culture, its people, and incredible local produce, the idea grew into something even more special: a space where Japanese roots and Balinese spirit come together beautifully. You may also like this article: Bali Brunch - A Slow Saturday Done Right at Waatu's Otsumami Mykaza, Su CasaA Japanese Menu with Bali in MindBeyond good foodMore information Mykaza, Su Casa Gerardo Barrientos, the F&B Director at Portier Hotels (the operator of The Arc House brand), together with his team really leaned all the way into the idea of building something that doesn’t just exist in Bali, but actually listens to it. The result is a concept where Japanese technique doesn’t overshadow local culture, but lets it shine in its own quiet, confident way. That same balance carries through the space itself. The interiors have a modern Japanese feel - clean, bright, without feeling too minimal or cold. Little rooms with tatami seating add a touch of tradition, while the overall design feels fresh, and airy. Step outside, and the mood shifts into tropical Bali holiday mode with a rooftop pool, and sun loungers. For Gerardo, Mykaza is also about something a bit rare these days - a space where people actually connect, not just sit together while scrolling in silence (we’ve all been there!). And maybe you can already guess it - the name Mykaza sounds a little like “mi casa”, and that’s exactly the idea. A blend of the Japanese name “Mikasa” and the phrase mi casa es tu casa...my home is your home. The hope is that everyone who walks into Mykaza feels that same sense of comfort and belonging. Come as you are and make yourself at home. A Japanese Menu with Bali in Mind On the menu, things get even more interesting. It's where Japanese and Balinese flavours come together in combinations that sound unexpected but make perfect sense the moment they land on your table. Think Babi Guling (Balinese iconic suckling pork) Dry Ramen, Hamachi Miso Matah, and Matcha-Miso Dadar Gulung (coconut-filled rolled pancake). More Japanese comfort dishes not to miss - start with the Asparagus & Ebi Tempura, Sake Tenkasu, or Tuna Wonton. Then move on to the Katsu Bali Curry before wrapping things up with Indonesia’s all-time favourite afternoon tea snack: Pisang Goreng (banana fritters) served with black sesame gelato. It’s a pairing that deserves a spotlight of its own. The drinks are just as fun - with cocktails featuring jamu (Indonesia’s traditional herbal drink), Arak Bali (Balinese distilled spirit), and tea-based creations, the island finds its way into every glass, quietly reminding you where you are. You may also like this article: SKAI Bar & Grill in Legian - Same Soul, Refined Experience Beyond good food Mykaza is very much a team-led space too. Head Chef Andy, Head Mixologist Agus, and the wider crew all shape the menu together - with the Balinese team playing a big part in adding those quiet local nuances that make everything feel real, not performative. And beyond the food, it’s everything else that comes with it: a rooftop pool, sunset views, and that easy Canggu rhythm where, as I said in my previous article, no one’s really in a rush here. And even though life in Bali can feel like one long holiday, weekends still carry that special kind of magic where slowing down and sharing good food just feels even better. Looking ahead, Mykaza is already shaping up to be more than just a restaurant. Sunday set brunches, sake tastings, cigar and whisky nights, and laid-back poolside gatherings are all in the works. Because at its core, Mykaza isn’t trying to be the next “hot spot” - it is a home you will always come back to.

Oleh-Oleh Bali to Bring Home Other than Pie Susu

Oleh-Oleh Bali other than Pie Susu If there's one thing Indonesians take seriously when travelling, it's oleh-oleh. These are little presents you bring back from your trip for the people at home; family, friends, neighbours or colleagues. More often than not, they come in the form of food. I actually think it’s a pretty sweet tradition. It’s like bringing home a little piece of your holiday and sharing it with the people you care about. I still find myself buying oleh-oleh every now and then when I travel, although in some circles, it has become less of a tradition and more of an unwritten rule, haha! Among the usual favourites from Bali are pie susu (milk pie) and pia (sweet filled pastry). I have no idea who popularised them, but somehow they’ve become the unofficial stars of Bali oleh-oleh. These days, though, there are plenty of other interesting things to bring home beyond the usual suspects. So here are some of them that the Kata Bella team has gathered. You may also like this article: Restaurants and Cafes in Ubud with Rice Field Views Oleh-Oleh Bali other than Pie SusuConfiture de BaliJungle Gold ChocolateBalinese Coffee "Kupu-Kupu Bola Dunia"Bali CrispigRosalie CheeseTitilesHarum CakeSate Lilit Bu Putu Confiture de Bali These guys have been making artisan jams since 2012, turning all kinds of fruits into little jars of deliciousness, each topped with an adorable batik lid cover. You’ll find pretty much every fruit you can think of here, from tropical fruits like soursop and mangosteen to more unusual ones you’ve probably never even heard of, like buni, kepundung and kaliasem. With so many flavours to choose from, you’ll probably have a hard time deciding, but you can try the testers before committing. Our personal favourites are the lemon butter, passion fruit, and mango vanilla. 📍Google Map: Confiture de Bali Image credit: Confiture de Bali Instagram Jungle Gold Chocolate It used to be called Pods Chocolate, but the brand has since rebranded as Jungle Gold. They’ve got the classics, with chocolate ranging from 64% to 100% cacao, plus fun flavours like Balinese coffee, orange, sea salt and Earl Grey. And if you’re feeling adventurous, there are some seriously unexpected ones too like rujak mangga, durian, mie goreng (fried noodles), and even rendang! Whoah! You can find most of the flavours in supermarkets around Bali, but it’s also nice to pop into their big store in Sanur. 📍Google Map: Jungle Gold Chocolate Sanur Image credit: Jungle Gold Chocolate Instagram Balinese Coffee "Kupu-Kupu Bola Dunia" Kupu-Kupu Bola Dunia is a Balinese coffee brand with a pretty unique name - it translates to “butterfly and globe”, any guesses why? Hehe. They’ve been around since 1935, and you can enjoy their coffee at the legendary Bhinneka Djaja coffee shop in Denpasar, and pick up some ground beans to take home. It’s a little taste of Bali to bring back with you, and makes a pretty nice gift for the coffee-loving friends back home. 📍Google Map: Bhineka Djaja (Kopi Bali) Image credit: Bhineka Djaja Website Bali Crispig We love the name Crispig - so clever for a brand that makes crispy pork crackers, haha! There are four flavours to choose from: original, seaweed, spicy and sweet potato. They're simple, crunchy snacks, and because they're nice and dry like crisps, they're also pretty travel-friendly, which is exactly what you want when packing for the flight home. 📍Google Map: Bali Crispig Image credit: Crispig Instagram You may also like this article: Bali Markets to Visit During Your Holiday Rosalie Cheese We're proud to have such a good local cheese on the island. Rosalie makes their cheeses with farm-fresh local milk and traditional techniques, and the range includes chèvre, black pepper goat cheese and halloumi. They make snacks too, like their signature cheesy grissini and cassava crackers, which are easy to finish in one sitting. You can find them in major supermarkets across Bali, or pop by their cheese boutique for a tasting while you're there! 📍Google Map: Cheese Boutique by Rosalie Image credit: Rosalie Cheese Instagram Titiles Another one for the pork lovers! If you don’t know Titiles yet, they make all kinds of processed meats and savoury snacks, and they’re especially famous for their pork products. They’ve been around for aaaages, and you can buy everything from sausages, bacon and ham to dendeng (jerky) and abon (meat floss), all from their very old-school-looking shop in Denpasar. 📍Google Map: Titiles Bali Image source: Google Harum Cake They make pie susu too, but I'd like to highlight the main character: the lapis legit. It's a traditional Indonesian layered cake; buttery, dense, and rich. Each paper-thin layer is baked one at a time. Yes, one-at-a-time. So yes, so much respect for the patience behind every slice! Their lapis legit comes in many flavours: original, coffee, prune, cheese, chocolate, and more. They've been at it since 1997, so if you're taking some home, relax. They know exactly how to pack it so your lapis legit arrives safely. 📍Google Map: Harum Bali Lapis Legit Cake Shop Image credit: Harum Cake Instagram Sate Lilit Bu Putu This one is a home business. If you haven’t tried sate lilit yet, it’s a Balinese-style satay made with seasoned minced meat, wrapped around bamboo sticks or lemongrass stalks, then grilled until smoky. A pack of 25 starts from just 95K, and they’re vacuum-packed, so they’re easy to take with you when travelling. They also make grilled chicken and betutu chicken, but the sate lilit is what they’re best known for. Just make sure to pre-order at least one day in advance through the contact number on their Instagram. Instagram: @satelilit.buputu Image credit: Sate Lilit Bu Putu Instagran We hope you enjoy our growing list of oleh-oleh Bali! A quick disclaimer: we have nothing against pie susu! In fact, we love them. We just thought we'd share some other interesting businesses worth checking out, so you can bring a slice of Bali home to your loved ones. These local makers put a lot of care into what they do, and a little support goes a long way. We'll keep adding to the list as we discover more, so do check back every now and then. And if you have a favourite spot that we've missed, we'd love to hear about it!

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! Goolali Gelato Bar & Pâtisserie 📍 Padma Hotel Semarang Jl. Sultan Agung No.86, Wonotingal, Kota Semarang, Jawa Tengah 50252 ⏰ Opening Hour: 8am - 10pm WIB
