No matter what you are looking for — adventure, solitude, culture, religion, or history — there’s probably something for you in Bali. For the foodies, there are many trendy Bali cafes and coffee shops within a stone’s throw away from one another.

If you don’t leave the “island of the gods” with a phone full of ‘gram-worthy shots and a satisfied stomach, you probably need to give your itinerary another look.

Here are 26 Bali cafes to get you started on your cafe-hopping jaunt.

1. Bread Basket

Multiple stores islandwide.
Open: Operating hours vary across stores

Why visit? It’s almost a requirement for cafes in Bali to be insta-worthy and if you have an appreciation for neutral tones, rustic interiors, and fresh European breads, this is your place. Decked with a homey ambience, Bread Basket offers a wholesome variety of freshly baked breads, meat pies, all-day breakfast and an option to build-your-own sandwich! 

The store opens bright and early with fresh bread, too,  making it especially lovely for early risers. Additionally, when you pick up a loaf of bread, you’re contributing to its collaboration with a local shelter that provides overnight stays to balinese families with children who need medical care. 

Crowd favourites: Tuck into a hearty steak & onion pie (75,000 rupiah or S$6.30) or go on a little gastronomical adventure and make your own meal with the B.Y.O sandwich (48,000 rupiah) where you can choose your own bread, protein, a side/topping and sauce. 

2. Revolver Bali

Open: Operating hours vary across stores

Why visit?  A pioneer in the Bali cafe scene, Revolver Bali is a boutique cafe and bar that takes pride in serving up comfort food, quality coffee and of course, cocktails. It has been so successful that the brand has even opened a new outlet at Bali’s International Airport recently — perfect for a pre-flight stop if you don’t have the time to swing by on your trip. 

As cliche as it may sound: Come for food, stay for the vibes. While Revolver sees a throng of patrons streaming in throughout the day, it still manages to keep the space feeling both cosy and  hip throughout the day. 

A special touch is that its drinks are available in cans, for both cocktails and coffee, so you can easily take them to-go and stay refreshed when out and about in the sun. 

Crowd favourites: Coffee connoisseurs won’t go wrong with the single origin filter coffee (40,000 rupiah) or even the liquored-up espresso martini (140,000 rupiah). 

Pair your tipple with an indulgent sandwich — the Revs Smash Burger (140,000 rupiah) which comes with house-cured beef, cheddar, and sauerkraut on toasted rye bread will fill you right up.

There, you can enjoy a quality cup of coffee where beans are curated to ensure a perfect pick-me-up every time. 

Fancy Cup Cafe’s menu offers a beautiful selection of coffee and local dishes, giving you the opportunity to try something different from the usual brunch fare. There’s also a good choice of vegan food items, ensuring there’s something for everyone, no matter your dietary preferences.

Stepping into Milk and Madu may feel a little like cafes from the land down under, and it’s likely because the owners Jordie Strybos and Pablo Fourcard grew up in Byron Bay, Australia.

Strybos and Fourcard, both foodies, are dedicated to putting in their due diligence before starting a new venture. They travelled to Italy to research pizzas before adding them to the menu at Milk and Madu.
