Cafés & Coffee Shops in Bali
6 businesses in Bali
Bali's café scene has exploded over the past decade, transforming areas like Canggu, Seminyak, and Ubud into some of Southeast Asia's most celebrated coffee destinations. As an expat, you'll find an extraordinary range of options — from minimalist specialty roasters serving single-origin Indonesian beans to airy beach-adjacent spots perfect for working remotely. Bali is a true coffee-producing island; Kintamani arabica and Flores robusta frequently appear on local menus, often at a fraction of what you'd pay back home. Expect to spend Rp 25,000–60,000 ($1.50–$4) for a quality espresso drink. Canggu's Batu Bolong strip and Seminyak's Petitenget Road are the densest café corridors. Many cafés double as co-working spaces with reliable WiFi, making them popular with digital nomads. Note that the term "café" in Bali sometimes includes full kitchens, so you can often combine your coffee ritual with solid brunch or lunch options.

Expat tips for Cafés & Coffee Shops in Bali
Explore Kintamani Coffee Sourced Locally +
Many Bali cafés serve beans grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Kintamani in the island's highlands. Asking staff about their sourcing often leads to interesting conversations and helps you identify the most authentic local roasters.
Arrive Early at Popular Canggu Spots +
Top cafés in Canggu like BRAUD and TEMPAT Coffee fill up fast by mid-morning, especially on weekends. Arriving before 9am gives you first pick of seating and avoids the co-working crowd competing for power outlets.
Check WiFi Before Settling In to Work +
Not all cafés in Bali have stable enough internet for video calls or large file uploads. Ask staff for the speed or test it before ordering if you plan to work — some spots have dedicated co-working areas with better connectivity than the main floor.
