Expat tips for Cafés & Coffee Shops in Ubud

Try Bali-Grown Kintamani Coffee +

Many of Ubud's specialty cafes source directly from Kintamani volcano farms just an hour north of town. Ask your barista specifically for Kintamani single-origin, its distinctive bright, citrusy profile is unlike coffee you'll find elsewhere and supporting local farms is culturally important in Ubud's community.

Arrive Early for the Best Working Spots +

Clear Cafe and Tucky fill up fast with digital nomads, especially between 9am and noon. Arriving before 9am secures the best seats with reliable power outlets. Most cafes in Ubud are generous about long stays but during peak hours, ordering a second drink is good practice to justify extended table use.

Check Café Hours During Nyepi and Galungan +

Ubud's cafes observe Balinese Hindu holidays, particularly Nyepi (Day of Silence) when the entire island shuts down for 24 hours and Galungan, when some businesses close for ceremonies. Keep a Balinese calendar handy if you depend on cafes for your daily work routine, plan ahead with supplies at home for Nyepi.
