The best places for brunch and coffee in Uluwatu, Bali

I do not doubt that you’ll be in and out of the ocean whilst you’re here in Uluwatu and in between your ocean adventures, you’ll be looking for the best places to fuel up, grab a coffee and kick back to relax in. I’ve just spent 4 weeks based in Uluwatu and eaten my way around all of the best coffee and brunch spots, ready to bring you this guide.

If you’re looking for the best places to brunch and drink coffee in Uluwatu, Bali, you’ve come to the right place.

In case you need a little background… Uluwatu is located on the western cliffs of the Bukit Peninsula in Bali (the bit right at the south of the island) and is a popular but still pretty undeveloped region when compared to the likes of Canggu. Crowds descend on this cliff-top destination to stay within proximity to the world-class reef breaks that Uluwatu is home to. Uluwatu Beach is the spot.

If you, like me, 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 going to be very happy here in Uluwatu. And if you want me in your pocket (Google Maps) when you’re on ground so that you can choose the best spot on the go, I highly recommend getting my Bali Google Map.

There are numerous places to brunch and lunch in Uluwatu, so much so I thought a list of my favs it deserved its own blog post. Here’s a selection that I would personally note and recommend trying out!

Alchemy

Alchemy is an incredibly gorgeous spot for brunch, tucked off the main road in a very serene open setting. Here, you can tuck into a colourful, flavour-filled plant-based breakfast, whilst feeling the breeze on your skin. I went for the build your own brekkie bowl, which was 100,000IDR and allowed you to choose your base (coconut yoghurt), 3 fruits (strawberry, mango, passionfruit) and 2 toppings (peanut butter and granola). YUM. See my choices below.

This menu has all of your adaptogenics-infused elixirs and eat your heart out smashed avo dishes.

Alchemy also has a yoga and meditation studio with multiple classes daily so this is a beautiful spot to spend the morning moving and nourishing your body!

Baked

This was a spontaneous stop off, actually, and it ended up being my favourite matcha in Uluwatu (and trust me I have high standards for matcha lattes). Some of the girlies I was with also rated it one of their top coffees so if you’re looking for a morning coffee and pastry – I can highly recommend!

P.s. the Pastel De Nata was almost as good as one from a Portuguese bakery itself. 10/10.

Suka Espresso

I don’t usually pop the ‘popular’ spots at the forefront of the guide, not because they don’t deserve recognition but because there are so many incredible places, and some need a push a little more than others. Suka Espresso certainly needs no help to boost its popularity but I honestly cannot deny how good it is.

Suka was my favourite coffee spot in Uluwatu. Long black with hot Americano milk, please. Oh and the Avocado on toast breakfast. See the menu here. I would give you my favourites but honestly, the whole menu, brekkie, lunch and dinner is the ONE.

Mana Restaurant

Mana is the heart of Uluwatu Surf Villas. It’s a two-story facility with the bottom floor boasting an infinity pool and a relaxed area with day beds and a bar. Head up the stairs and you’ll find the all-day restaurant bar with views across the ocean. It’s a stunning spot.

Mana is one of my favourite breakfast choices when I want to escape the busy-ness on the streets and retreat to a calm spot for breakfast. It’s also a great spot to take your laptop and do some work.

I’d highly recommend combining breakfast here with the daily 7.30am Yoga class (150,000IDR) at First Light Yoga which is on site.

The Loft

The Loft has a super decent capacity, making it the perfect host for a morning brunch with a buzz. It’s located opposite Hatch and has all the vegan and veggie delights you dream of. Another great spot to work from.

BGS

Very close second favourite coffee in Uluwatu for me. There’s two down here (i think) but the one I went to was down by Uluwatu Beach. There aren’t too many seats here but bring your reuseable coffee cup and take a cup down to the beach to start your day!

The almond milk at BGS 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!

Location: Uluwatu St No.77, Ungasan, South Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali 80361, Indonesia

Chela

Another stunningly presented brunch cafe offering all your classics: shakshuka, loaded waffles, vegan pancakes, avo on toast and all the smoothie bowls. See the menu here.

My stand out recommendation here has got to be the banana walnut bread with homemade espresso butter! Thank me later.

Bukit Cafe

Hell to the yeah. Every day winner. Bukit Cafe is right next to my favourite massage salon, Lanaikea and combining the 60-minute Balinese massage with the earth bowl at Bukit was a 3 times weekly routine. #WhenInBali

Zucchini fritters, vegan pancakes and fresh coconuts. See the full menu here.

Gooseberry Cafe and Boutique

Gooseberry Cafe is ready for a girly ‘day after the big night’ brunch. The interior palette and outdoor area with a pool is already calling a squad goals shot for the ‘gram and the menu is divine. You can order your smashed avo or go full in with the french toast, whipped cream and homemade compote. Indulge, get your morning immune boost or… grab a cocktail and keep the vibes alive. See the menu here.

The Cashew Tree Collective

Relax back into this tropical cafe with alang-alang thatched roofs in Bingin – it’s a vibe with ALL the tasty brunch options. The menu is diverse and so you’ll find your vegan bowls, hearty fry-ups and smoothie bowls too, with all the fresh, organic ingredients woven in to each dish.

They also host fun DJ nights here every Thursday, making it a great place to come down for a drink and soak up the community vibes. See more images and event details on their Instagram here.

One of the best places for brunch in Canggu by far!

La Baracca 

We fell in love with the Italian experience of La Baracca whilst we were in Ubud, we reignited the flame with the lava cake in Canggu and we spent many a date night here whilst in Uluwatu. I cannot fault La Baracca. Not only are the Italian dishes wholesome and hearty, just what you want when you think of pizza, but they go over and above to make it an experience. You get a selection of flavoured breads upon arrival and a couple of taster items before you select from the menu. I think they actually gave us a little pudding too… every time we went! Free of charge! Your meal can be on the pricier side of the Bali spectrum but you’re getting quality and an experience. It’s worth it.

Ours

I’m gutted we never actually got to eating here but I consistently heard people recommend it. Let me know if you go, what your favourite dishes are!

Nourish

Discovering Nourish was another happy accident as we took the bikes over from our stay at Karma Kandara on to Uluwatu. From the road it’s quite a striking cafe, so pure in it’s white aesthetic and beautiful in it’s finish. The menu and dine in experience certainly didn’t disappoint. Again this spot caters for your smashed avocado lover, your matcha fanatic (they do matcha properly here) and for your raw treat enthusiast. The open plan and open windowed workspace is perfect to work from and again, so reasonably priced. My favourite part? The art in the toilets.

Bali Buda

We first discovered Bali Buda in Canggu and soon recognised it on the drive through to Uluwatu. Though it’s not in the centre of Uluwatu, it’s worth the short drive out if you’re looking for an extensive menu filled with salads, pasta, buddha bowls, soul soups, pizza, superfood drinks, smoothies, traditional Indonesian dishes and all-day breakfast. If there’s contrasting desires for your brunch in Uluwatu, this one caters for all tastebuds! See the menu here.

Location: Jl. Raya Uluwatu Pecatu No.104, Ungasan, Kec. Kuta Sel., Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia

Place with no name

Grab the breakfast burrito with an iced long black pre/post surf.
