THE BEST CAFES IN CANGGU
Where to eat breakfast, brunch and lunch
1. The Avocado Factory
Best for: Avocado-filled menu
Avocado on toast, avocado in our burgers, avocado whipped into our smoothie bowls and even chunks of avocado throughout our dipping sauces – if you ask us, there’s no such thing as ‘too much’ avocado. Well, it turns out that The Avocado Factory is as mad about nature’s green gift as we are, giving our morning go-to the recognition it deserves. The result? A menu that’s all avo everything. Packed full of avocado-stuffed signatures, feast on all-time faves like the Avo Cheese Croissant XL, the Truffle Benedict with avocado and truffled hollandaise, and the broccoli toast with mashed avocado. Oh, and don’t forget the avo-licious desserts…

2. Valle Bali
Best for: Poolside brunch
Sitting amongst the rice fields of Canggu, Valle is a panoramic restaurant and bar where breakfast is served overlooking a glittering infinity pool. Paying homage to Bali’s natural beauty, it’s a dreamy morning destination where you can graze on breakfast favourites, wake up with great coffee, then settle in for the day to nibble on an all-day, Spanish-inspired menu. Everything is made using the highest-quality ingredients, like the Morning Steak & Avocado (with fluffy scrambled eggs), or the Loaded Croissant with a choice of smoked salmon or shaved ham. Then, after grazing your way through the menu, unwind on the deck, take a dip in the pool, and stick around ‘til sunset for dinner, cocktails, barbecued flavours and delish Spanish tapas.

Best for: Family-friendly dining with a playground for the kids
Everyone loves this absolute jewel of a café. And for good reason. Milk & Madu is a Bali icon, with two Canggu locations in Berawa and on Batu Bolong. But what’s all the fuss about? Amazing all-day breakfasts, killer coffee, good vibes and a family friendly setting. Try The Madu poached eggs with bacon, onion jam and hollandaise sauce, or the three egg skillets with feta, rocket and sundried tomato pesto. You’ll want to try the smoothies too, and of course, a strong cuppa… Or even a brunch cocktail.

Best for: Parisian cafe with delicate pastries
From Paris to Bali, Café Kitsuné at Desa Kitsuné is a chic, artisanal cafe with Parisian roots and laid-back island vibes. It’s known around the globe for its specialty coffee and pastries, and this Canggu outpost has become the go-to morning hangout for catch-ups over a matcha latte or classic piccolo. You won’t find any big brunch plates or avocado on toast here. Instead, in true Parisian style, it’s all about light bites that complement your coffee. Think still-warm croissants, a zesty lemon tart, a slightly sweet cannelé and our favourite: the signature Café Kitsuné fox shortbread. You’ll also want to try the goat’s cheese quiche and the Matcha Maritozzo pastry, all before exploring Desa Kitsuné and the art de vivre that it’s best known for.

Our go-to coffee stop and the place for a perfect croissant or pastry, The Goat Father is a street-side coffee corner where you can prop up the barista bar, hang out on the patio, or fuel-up after your morning run on banana bread and carrot cake. This humble coffee shop stands directly in front of The Avocado Factory, meaning you can head inside for the full brunch experience, or simply hang out with your mates on the patio with a Java Puntang, a dirty chai latte or an iced coffee with maple and orange zest. If you love strong coffee with a kick of acidity and full robust flavours, this place is for you.

Is this the best breakfast in Bali? Many would say so. This rad, hipster coffee shop is always buzzing with Canggu’s coolest. Maybe it’s the awesome soundtrack, or maybe it’s just that the food is so goddamn good (and affordable!). Their gluten-free sandwiches have to be up there amongst our fave brunch staples. Located just off Batu Bolong in between Padang Linjong, look out for Crate Cafe‘s iconic industrial-chic look, bold murals, super smoothie bowls and some of the best coffee in town.

Best for: Baked goods and coffee
Soft, springy and perfectly crunchy on the crust – BAKED had us at homemade, still-warm sourdough. But flawless loaves aren’t the only specialty at this Canggu hotspot (located in Berawa and Pererenan). Throughout the day, you can tuck into salmon bagels, everything-on-toast, and some of the best scrambled eggs in Bali. Our fave is the Royal folded eggs with spinach, sweet chilli jam, cream cheese, and that epic house sourdough. Settle in to the fresh whitewashed interiors, and whatever you do, make sure you take home their doughy creations…

Described as an ‘elevated brunch restaurant’, Sensorium Bali is a multi-sensory Australasian cafe that promises to activate, challenge and satisfy all five senses. We won’t spoil the full experience for you here, but expect ultra-modern takes on Australian and Asian brunch food. Think boundary-pushing creations like the Textural of Mushrooms (sautéed and fried wild mushrooms and seaweed paste on rye), a brunch ramen with 62-degree sous vide egg, and the decadent bulgogi beef burger. Yup, this isn’t your typical brunch cafe…

A perfect fit for Canggu’s health crowds, Rize Cafe is best known for its classic Indian dishes with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, all using fresh local ingredients. It also slings your typical brunch fare, but you absolutely must go for the breakfast dosas. There are three to choose from, and they are all mind-blowing. The cafe is also just minutes away from Pererenan Beach, so if you’re taking a midday break from surfing, drop by for a light lunch, cool down with a plant-based smoothie, then get back to the beach in time for the next wave.

Best for: Local ingredients in artisanal dishes
Neighbourhood is Canggu’s cosy cafe and coffee shop that’s dedicated to serving local produce from artisan makers. It’s one of our fave places for a long and leisurely breakfast, but you can also swing by later in the day for afternoon nibbles, wine and cocktails on the front deck. Be sure to try the Hood Benedict (with confit potato hash, soft eggs, jalapeño hollandaise and salsa) – it’s what first made us fall in love with this spot. As lunch swings around, try the chicken pesto roll, tuna melt and any of the bowls. And yes, Neighbourhood’s house-blend coffees are just as delicious…

12. Honey Kitchen
Best for: Stylish breakfast and lunch with Midas touches
Not only do we love the name of this sun-soaked spot in peaceful Pererenan, we’re also obsessed with the fit-out. Laced in white and studded with gold and black accents, Honey Kitchen is simple but oh-so stylish. And of course, the same can be said about the menu. With a focus on ultra-fresh and organic ingredients, local and imported produce is given the Midas touch, creating standout brunch plates like the folded zucchini feta omelette, lemon ricotta pancakes, and wholesome sides like honey-roasted carrots with coriander, dukkah and tahini. And FYI, their sweet potato fries are some of the best we’ve found in Bali…

Best for: Classic French bistro in a quaint seaside town
Little Frenchie is a charming French cafe that sits on the tranquil streets of Pererenan. And just like the French do, it’s a great spot for a long and leisurely brunch. Start with the Louie’s Eggs Benedict with gooey 63-degree eggs, paired with a perfectly brewed latte, or even a Mimosa. As afternoon swings around, tuck into generous baguettes with whipped herb butter and garlic jam, or graze on the pan-seared poisson du jour (AKA local catch-of-the-day). We never leave without tucking into the golden profiteroles, stuffed with vanilla chantily. It’s the perfect place to prop-up streetside and watch the world go by, or to dive into a good book with a parade of French brunch classics. Bon appétit!

Best for: Authentic Danish breakfast and lunch
Think that Nordic food is only cold fish and potatoes? Think again. Copenhagen slings modern brunch food straight out of Scandinavia. Fresh, healthy and full of flavour, this cute, minimalistic Danish cafe lets you create your own brunch board by mixing and matching your faves. Our regular breakfast spread usually includes a Danish poppyseed pastry, scrambled eggs, sauteed mushrooms and fresh fruits, but you can select from a whole list of different options.

Good Mantra is a wholly plant-based restaurant with easy-breezy community vibes and an address that’s just a stone’s throw from Berawa Beach. Every vegan dish uses fresh ingredients from small local farms, and almost everything is made in-house – from the nut-milks to the granolas and even the zingy relishes and sauces. Try the brekkie burrito, the sunrise shakshuka, or one of the surfer’s jaffles. Then for lunch, tuck into big-energy salads and stuffed sandwiches with a good slather of plant-based mayo. This earth-to-plate ethos trickles over to the bar, too, where the cocktails and mocktails are inspired by Bali’s landscapes and seasons. We’ll take two Surf Spritz, please!

From Melbourne to Bali, St. Ali in Pererenan is from the same peeps who gave us the artsy-cool boutique hotel, Further Hotel. Roasting and brewing only the best ethically and sustainably sourced beans, St. Ali has nailed the classics. But we say, step outta the box and go for a signature brew like the Coco Mingle (espresso topped with chocolate ice cream and coconut water) or the Grape Fizz Cold Brew. Pair it up with a Melbourne-inspired brunch, like the Polenta Porridge with textures of strawberries or the St. Muffin fully loaded with egg, sausage, caramelised onions, Dijon mustard and mayo.

Gigi Susu is a cosy wooden shack just minutes from Batu Bolong Beach, and it’s been made famous thanks to its freshly baked pastries, artisanal breads expertly brewed coffee, and cute merch. If you’ve got the time, settle in for a homemade beef pastrami sandwich with wholewheat sourdough, or a roasted butternut pumpkin salad.
