One thing you’ll never be stuck for in Canggu, Bali is a good cafe to eat in.

Honestly, I’ve been here a month now, and I still haven’t even touched the surface of the options that line the streets here between the lush green rice fields.

If you’re one, like me, to look at a menu and lose your mind with excitement when you see things like smashed avocado on sourdough with hummus and dukkah or a dragonfruit, strawberry and banana acai bowl with homemade granola and chia seeds on a menu…

You’re about to enter foodie heaven here in Canggu.

For those unfamiliar with this beachside town, Canggu sits on Bali’s southwest coast and is now one of the island’s most iconic destinations. It’s here that rice fields meet beach clubs, where surfers paddle out at sunrise, where brunch is basically a religion, and where digital nomads have their own cafes because it’s become that desirable to live here. Canggu is the kind of place you plan to stay for three days and somehow… it becomes three weeks.

Alongside all the best things to do in Canggu, there are so many great cafes in Canggu. So many that I thought it deserved its own blog post. So here’s a selection of places to brunch and get coffee in Canggu that I can personally note and recommend trying out.

If you’re planning a trip to Canggu, look no further. Bucket lists at the ready.

The best brunch and coffee spots in Canggu, Bali

Alchemy

After visiting Alchemy in Uluwatu and falling in love with the vibe and the menu, I did not hesitate to come again when I found out there was one in Canggu too.

The menu at Alchemy is vibrant, flavour-filled, and everything is plant-based. After going for the build your own brekkie bowl previously, this time i chose the halloumi and orange salad (see below right). Again, a flavour packed dish sent from the heavens.

The Alchemy menu has all of your adaptogenics-infused elixirs and eat your heart out smashed avo dishes. You cannot go wrong.

Also, it’s a gorgeous setting and they have a health and wellbeing shop attached to it to pick up your favourite goodies.

Barboa

Barboa is an idyllic brunch spot if ever I saw one. With a light, breezy interior filled with natural wood and fresh plants, it truly feels like a breath of fresh air as you sit down. And then there’s the menu.

The menu has so many fresh options for breakfast or a brunch / lunch vibe. We shared the halloumi greek salad and the avo on toast with some added smoken salmon. Paired with two fresh watermelon juices… heaven!

Highly recommend, whether it’s two of you or a group.

Zin Cafe

Zin is somewhere I only discovered this year, as I booked an overnight stay there pretty spontaneously. As part of the hotel, you get to enjoy a complimentary breakfast there, and i’m so glad I got to discover it.

The cafe is spacious, the food is on point, and the whole vibe is immaculate. On site, they also have a spa, a gym and a work station, so it’s an all-in-one kind of place, and you get lots of young, creative entrepreneurs coming here.

A great spot to bring your laptop, have breakfast and get creative!

Vida Cafe

Superfood is central. All the coffees, all the smoothies, all the raw treats and fresh cold coconuts.

But it was here I witnessed magic in Acai bowl decoration. A reason to go in itself. There were some kind of dates in the bowl too which were so yummy and chewy to stumble upon whilst devouring the bowl!

Penny Lane Cafe

Quite literally the most beautiful establishment I’ve ever entered. By day, and most certainly by night with all the fairy lights too.

Bali is built for outdoor dining arrangements and this place has nailed the pastel, washed, elegant and laid-back vibes for breakfast. Get your floaty dresses on and head for a girly brunch or rock up straight from the beach. Either way, the menu is stacked with avocado, juices, immune-boosting shots and delicious plates for breakfast.

Coffee and pastries at BGS

Very close second favourite coffee in Canggu for me. This one is located near Echo Beach and has a very great name among the locals. There aren’t too many seats here but bring your reusable coffee cup and take a cup down to the beach to start your day!

The almond milk here is homemade and has a unique vanilla and date sweetness to it. Perfect for a pick-me-up latte! You gotta grab one of their cookies to dip too!

CRATE Cafe

I don’t usually like to support the hugely popular spots on blog posts, just because other people need and deserve the exposure. The crate is very well established among visitors and locals and, for good reason, so I will mention them. They do amazing almond croissants, smoothies and brunches. I also loved my banana and strawberry chia smoothie, see above. Crate seats quite a few people but every time I’ve driven past there’s been a queue so be prepared to hang around a moment or two.

Coffee and fruit platter at Rise And Shine

Coffee is amazing here, if you need somewhere to perch with your morning caffeine – this is one of the best coffees in Canggu!

KOI

Great coffee, even greater chocolate cookies and just the best sushi I’ve had in a while. FILLED with avocado. Great for a pick-me-up, morning coffee or chilled brekkie.

The Shady Shack

We first found SS as a gorgeous dinner spot, and returned the following day for a selection of takeaway raw treats and again the next day for their brunch menu.

Loved the sunrise juice and this beans and peas on sourdough dish.

Also for dinner – the sweet potato fries and the veggie lasagne – YUM!

Cactus

Cactus is on the other side of Canggu, another beautiful area to check out.

Coffee is amazing here as is brekkie. Good Matcha lattes are hard to come by in Bali too (they tend to use a pre-mix with sugar which is gross) but the Matcha here was pure and delightful. Cactus has your alternative milks (everywhere does though tbh) and I can recommend the Cinnamon porridge oats!

Location: Pererenan Beach St No.78, Canggu, Mengwi, Badung Regency, Bali 80361

Fabricca Pizza

Okay this is more of a lunch / dinner spot but I couldn’t leave without mentioning it! Best pizza in Canggu. Fact. At Fabricca, they are serving authentic Italian food and the thinnest, freshest pizzas your heart could ever desire. Dining here is the next best thing after booking that flight to Italy for a Euro summer.

If you’re looking for a vibe and you’re craving pizza – this is your spot.

Mades Banana Flour Bakery

For a proper good bakery and some takeaway croissants, pain au chocolats or fresh sourdough loaf. This is the one.

We had breakfast at our villa on Valentine’s Day and grabbed some pastries to go with some coffee from Vida and it was the dream.
