Sip and Chill at 12 of the Most Beautiful Cafes in Bali
A few months ago, our friend group realized that quick weekend getaways were no longer enough to reset our minds from the chaos of work. We used to think a full night of sleep or a beach nap could fix everything, until burnout finally caught up with us.
During our trip, we discovered how a cup of coffee in the right setting could feel almost therapeutic. Between yoga mornings and wellness retreats, we found ourselves drawn to beautiful cafes that nurtured both the body and the spirit.
To help you find spots that bring comfort, good energy, and a sense of calm, we’ve gathered cafes that stand out for their ambience and soul-soothing experiences. This list is for anyone seeking places that inspire slow living, reflection, and inner reset.
1. Revolver

Website: https://revolverbali.com/
Location: Jl. Kayu Aya No.51, Seminyak, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact: +6281238428343
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7 AM – 11 PM
Pricing: $$
Revolver began as a hidden cafe tucked inside a Seminyak alley, serving strong coffee long before Bali’s third-wave scene took off. It’s easy to miss from the outside, but inside you’ll find dark wood interiors and the smell of roasted beans filling the air.
The signature “Cowboy Blend” is roasted in-house, known for its rich cocoa and hazelnut notes. Even the cold brews are bottled each morning in glass and sealed by hand, a small touch that keeps them fresh for days.
Regulars often talk about the banana bread that’s baked with local honey instead of sugar. It pairs so well with their espresso that it has become a quiet favourite among those who know to order it.
| Pro Tip: Ask to sit in the back room if it’s open because it’s quieter, air-conditioned, and filled with the scent of freshly roasted beans from their in-house roaster. It’s the best spot to unwind if you want a calm coffee break away from Seminyak’s buzz. |
2. Kim Soo Home

Website: https://kimsoo.com/
Location: Jl. Kayu Aya No.21, Kerobokan Kelod, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact: +6282247130122
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7:30 AM – 9 PM
Pricing: $$
Kim Soo Home started as a design boutique before turning into one of Bali’s most talked-about cafes. Everything here, from the chair you sit on to the mug you sip from, is handmade by Balinese artisans and available to buy right next door.
The menu fits the setting perfectly. Fresh avocado toast, light Mediterranean-style plates, and iced coffees made with local palm-sugar syrup all look simple but taste thoughtful.
What makes it really memorable is how the entire cafe doubles as a design gallery. The plates and textiles all follow one clean aesthetic that makes every corner look effortlessly styled.
| Pro Tip: Bring extra time after your meal to explore the connected home store; the furniture and ceramics you eat on are for sale. Staff can even wrap fragile items safely for travellers who want to take Bali-made pieces home. |
3. Sisterfields

Website: https://sisterfieldsbali.com/
Location: Jl. Kayu Cendana No.7, Seminyak, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact: +628113860507
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7 AM – 9 PM
Pricing: $$
Sisterfields opened in 2014 and quickly became Bali’s ultimate brunch spot. It brought Melbourne’s cafe culture to Seminyak, and it’s still the benchmark for great breakfast on the island.
The kitchen produces nearly everything in-house, from hollandaise sauce to sourdough bread. Their pulled brisket Benedict and ricotta hotcakes are often the first things people recommend when asked where to eat in Seminyak.
Hidden behind the main counter is a small bakery that produces pastries twice a day. This includes the cinnamon rolls that fill the space with that warm, buttery smell. Timing your visit early means getting them fresh out of the oven.
| Pro Tip: If you order a juice or smoothie, ask for it “double-blended.” It’s a local trick regulars use to get that thick, icy texture that holds up even in the heat. |
4. KYND COMMUNITY

Website: https://www.kyndcommunity.com/
Location: Jalan Petitenget No.12 Kerobokan Kelod, Jl. Petitenget, Seminyak, Kuta Utara, Badung Regency
Contact: +6285931120209
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7:30 AM – 9:30 PM
Pricing: $
KYND COMMUNITY started as a small smoothie bar and grew into Bali’s most photographed vegan cafe. The pastel-pink walls and fruit-lettered bowls make it instantly cheerful before you even take a bite.
The all-vegan menu focuses on creative food that doesn’t taste like a compromise. The jackfruit tacos and peanut butter smoothie bowls are proof that plant-based can still feel indulgent.
The cafe also has its own mini corner for selling vegan ice cream and house-made nut butters, with flavors that change every few weeks. The almond caramel version is one locals never stop talking about.
| Pro Tip: Order the personalised smoothie bowl with your name in fruit letters early in the day. The toppings station closes once the fruit letters run out, and that signature photo moment becomes impossible to recreate later. |
5. Over the Moon Café

Website: https://www.overthemoonbali.com/
Location: Jl. Danau Tamblingan No.19, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, Kota Denpasar
Contact: +6282225511012
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 8 AM – 9 PM
Pricing: $
Over the Moon Café in Sanur looks like a dream for dessert lovers. The glass counter gleams with rows of cheesecakes and mousse domes, all finished right before serving.
The owners, pastry chefs trained in Singapore, use French butter and imported chocolate in every recipe. Their coconut-lime tart is the star, balancing creamy texture with a sharp citrus hit.
They also create a limited-edition “moon dessert” each month, inspired by Indonesian flavours such as pandan or palm sugar. It’s usually available in small batches, which makes it feel extra special when you catch it.
| Pro Tip: Ask which pastries were baked in the last hour. They restock the display throughout the day, and catching the warm batch makes all the difference. The coconut-lime tart, in particular, tastes best when the crust is freshly crisp. |
6. Milk & Madu

Website: https://www.milkandmadu.com/
Location: Jl. Pantai Berawa Jl. Tegal Sari No.52, Gundul, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact: +6285102781872
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7 AM – 10 PM
Pricing: $
Milk & Madu has that easy mix of good food and music that makes people stay longer than planned. The cafe’s open layout and long wooden tables make it feel relaxed from the moment you walk in.
The menu goes from fluffy pancakes in the morning to wood-fired pizzas at night. The oven sits at the heart of the cafe, and watching the chefs toss and bake pizzas add to the fun.
Every Tuesday, they run a two-for-one pizza deal that fills the terrace with a lively crowd. Between that and the friendly staff, it’s one of those places that makes dining out in Bali feel effortless.
| Pro Tip: Sit near the pizza oven if you can. The staff occasionally offers complimentary crust samples while testing dough for the next batch. It’s a fun and casual way to see their wood-fired process up close. |
7. Benih Café
Media credit: benihcafe
Website: https://benihcafe.com/
Location: Pertokoan Mekar Jaya, Jl. Benesari No.77, Kuta, Badung Regency
Contact: +6285333533683
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7:30 AM – 10 PM
Pricing: $
Benih Café is a local favourite in Kuta, known for its cozy atmosphere and affordable, beautifully made brunches. The sunlight filters through plants hanging from the ceiling, creating a bright atmosphere throughout the place.
The pancakes are the highlight here, made fluffy with a touch of coconut milk that gives them a subtle sweetness. The coffee is brewed with beans from Kintamani’s highlands, creating a flavour that’s nutty and rich.
Another detail people love is their homemade peanut butter, freshly blended every morning. It’s used on their toast and smoothie bowls and sold in jars if you want to take some home.
| Pro Tip: Ask for their homemade peanut butter on the side, even if it’s not listed with your order. It’s freshly blended each morning and pairs surprisingly well with both pancakes and smoothie bowls. |
8. Café Bali
Media credit: cafebaliseminyak
Website: https://cafebaliseminyak.com/
Location: Jalan Laksmana (Kayu Aya Seminyak Kuta, Kerobokan Kelod, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact: +62361736484
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7:30 AM – 11 PM
Pricing: $
Café Bali brings old-world charm right to Seminyak’s busiest street. The white furniture, chandeliers, and patterned tiles give it the look of a colonial home frozen in time.
The food ranges from Indonesian classics to European staples. The duck confit is a longtime favourite. The nasi campur is rich with house-made sambal that locals appreciate for its authenticity.
Most of the antique decor was collected from old Javanese houses and restored piece by piece. Every table feels different, but together they give the cafe its quiet, timeless beauty.
| Pro Tip: Request a table near the back veranda for the best ambiance. It’s quieter and lined with antique mirrors that make the whole space glow at sunset. It’s also where you’ll get the best natural lighting for photos. |
9. 32do Bali

Website: https://32dobali.com/
Location: Jl. Lb. Sari Jl. Petitenget No.77, Kerobokan Kelod, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact: +6287787773232
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 8 AM – 10 PM
Pricing: $$
32do Bali mixes Korean design with Bali’s cafe culture in a way that feels calm and elegant. The name itself refers to the ideal coffee-roasting temperature, a detail that hints at how precise they are about flavour.
Their cube croissants are the reason most people come: perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside with fillings like pistachio or vanilla custard. The bingsu, a Korean shaved ice dessert topped with matcha or chocolate syrup, is another standout on hot afternoons.
The place keeps things peaceful by serving in small waves rather than rushing plates out. It’s the kind of detail that makes every visit feel intentional rather than busy.
| Pro Tip: If you want their famous cube croissants, check the small sign near the counter for bake times. They only bake three rounds daily, and catching a warm batch makes the filling melt perfectly inside. |
10. Matchakin
Media credit: michalovesmatcha
Website: https://www.matchakin.com/
Location: Jl. Pantai Berawa No.99, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact: [email protected]
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 8 AM – 4:30 PM
Pricing: $$
Matchakin is a paradise for anyone who loves matcha. Everything on the menu is made with ceremonial-grade matcha from Uji, Japan, known for its rich green color and slightly sweet taste.
Their matcha soft serve and tiramisu are cult favorites. But even simple drinks like the iced matcha latte stand out because the ice cubes are infused with matcha. It’s a clever touch that keeps the flavour strong to the last sip.
The cafe also sells its matcha powder and handmade whisks. It’s beautifully packaged for travellers who want to bring a piece of Bali home. It feels authentic, not overly stylised, which makes it easy to love.
| Pro Tip: Try asking for their “Whisk Experience.” Staff will prepare the matcha in front of you with the traditional bamboo whisk, giving you a rare glimpse of the ceremonial technique behind each drink. |
11. Lucid Café Bali
Media credit: lucidcafebali
Website: https://lucidcafebali.com/
Location: Jl. Raya Kampus Udayana, Jimbaran, Kec. Kuta Sel., Kabupaten Badung
Contact: +62895406068578
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 6 AM – 9 PM
Pricing: $
Lucid Café in Ubud has a natural charm that makes it perfect for slow mornings. The open-air seating overlooks a small garden, and the wooden interiors lend it a sense of warmth without trying too hard.
The coffee comes from single-origin beans grown in North Bali, roasted weekly in small batches for freshness. Pair it with their honey-glazed banana bread or a croissant that’s often served warm from the oven.
Early visitors usually go for the “Slow Morning Set,” which combines coffee, juice, and a pastry at a lower price before 10 AM. It’s simple but feels like one of those small luxuries that start the day right.
| Pro Tip: Ask for a seat near the back garden in the morning when the sunlight filters through the trees. The natural light makes photos glow and keeps the area cooler than the front space. |
12. Blacklist Coffee Roasters

Website: https://blacklistcoffee.co.id/
Location: Jl. Tanah Barak No.6, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung
Contact: +6281338728664
Hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7 AM – 6 PM
Pricing: $$
Blacklist Coffee Roasters is an Australian import that takes its craft seriously. The Bali branch doubles as a roastery, with beans from Ethiopia, Colombia, and Indonesia roasted daily to showcase their best profiles.
The tasting flight is a must for anyone curious about coffee flavours. It includes three espresso drinks brewed in different ways, so you can actually taste how roast level affects aroma and texture.
They also hold small barista workshops for guests who want to try latte art or manual brewing. It’s a nice bonus that turns a quick coffee stop into something you’ll remember.
| Pro Tip: Join one of their short tasting sessions if it’s running. They often last just 15 minutes and introduce you to different brewing methods using their daily roast. It’s a small way to turn coffee drinking into a mini learning experience. |
