Bali

Seniman is one of the top specialty coffee names in Indonesia, and their Ubud spot is a solid place to get your caffeine fix. It’s got a bit of a retro vibe and serves up coffee from local regions alongside simple but tasty food — breakfast bowls, fresh pastries, and sandwiches. If you’re into coffee culture, this is a good place to see what third-wave coffee looks like in Bali.

Sisterfields brings a slice of Aussie café culture to Seminyak, serving all-day brunch with a strong lineup of coffee and cocktails. It’s got a clean, modern feel with both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can soak up the Bali sun or chill inside with air-con. The menu is exactly what you would expect from a good Australian café — smashed avo, big breakfast plates, and some clever twists on classics. It’s a popular spot, so do expect it to be busy, especially on weekends.

If you’re after gelato that’s a bit different, Gusto’s the place. They whip up Italian-style ice cream with flavours you won’t see everywhere — like kemangi (that’s Indonesian basil) and fried sesame — alongside the classics. They also serve coffee and cold drinks in a chilled spot, perfect for cooling off and relaxing.

Pison Coffee is a trendy café housed in a charming two-storey building with exposed brick walls and an industrial feel. The menu mixes Asian and Western dishes, with highlights like crispy pork belly fried rice and a quirky espresso avocado drink. Their coffee is creative but straightforward, and in the evenings, they often have live music, making it a good spot to hang out after dark.

Revolver is located down a quiet lane on Jalan Kayu Aya, easy to miss but well worth finding. It’s a boutique café and bar known for roasting some of Bali’s best Arabica beans and serving strong, carefully crafted coffee alongside simple comfort food like Mac and Cheese and Breakfast Burrito. The place has a cool, vintage vibe with dim lighting and exposed brick, making it a good spot to settle in with a cocktail or a coffee any time of day.
