20 Instagrammable Cafes in Bali 2026: Aesthetic & Viral Spots

Gigi Susu started in 2022 as a small takeaway kiosk and is now one of the most photographed cafe fronts in Canggu: a vintage European-style building with a pastel facade, wooden interiors and retro furniture. People queue just to take a picture outside.

The Almond Croissant is the order, with a pain au chocolat or cinnamon roll on the side. Pastries usually last until about 5 PM, so come early; around 8 AM the line is short.

Woods in Pererenan is built entirely from reclaimed wood, with olive-green banquettes, bentwood chairs, chandeliers and a stone-floored courtyard shaded by trees, so the whole room looks warm and rustic on camera.

The menu is Mediterranean: order the Salmon Croissant or the Moroccan Shakshouka at brunch. Evenings bring live music most nights, including Seafood & Jazz on Thursdays and piano on Tuesdays.

32do is a Korean-inspired coffee house in Petitenget, designed by Studio Terasu, FFFAAARRR and the Korean studio stof. You walk in down a narrow corridor between tall concrete walls with water running down both sides, then reach a terrazzo and pale-wood atrium with a pebble pool, a curved staircase and rain chains hanging from an oval skylight.

The counter covers coffee roasted in-house, Jeju tea, bean-to-bar chocolate and bingsoo. Order a Caffè Latte with a Croissant Noir or the Soqeum Ppang garlic butter bread, and come early, as entry is capped and a queue builds later.

Fold is the jade-green tiled building on Nelayan Road: a French artisan bakery with black steel columns, tall glass windows and a cosy upstairs loft. The tiled front with its fold. sign is the shot everyone takes.

Chef-owner Maxime Chené's canele is what most reviewers rave about; pair it with a latte, or order the French Brouillade, scrambled eggs with mushroom on sourdough, for breakfast. Come in the morning while the pastry counter is full.

Baked's Berawa flagship sits in a converted workshop: a rough coral-stone wall with white BAKED. lettering, a metal-clad upper floor and a glass shopfront looking into the bakery, with wooden stools lined up outside.

Get the Almond Croissant or a Kouign Amann with a flat white, or try the sourdough ice cream made from leftover loaves. Other branches are in Pererenan, Batu Bolong, Seminyak, Padonan and Uluwatu.

Formerly Kintamani Coffee by Akasa, this roastery café sits on the Penelokan ridge facing Mount Batur, its black lava fields and Lake Batur. A long timber counter runs along the open edge, and in the cloud season mist fills the valley below; guides also describe a glass walkway, hanging nest pods and large decorative wings for photos.

Beans come from Akasa's own Kintamani farm and are roasted on site, so order a pour-over of one of its own Kintamani coffees, such as Srikandi or Gendis. Arrive soon after the 5:30 AM opening for sunrise and the clearest view.

Penny Lane is built to look like a romantic ruin: Roman-inspired limestone arches, lime-washed walls, a six-metre glass roof over a garden courtyard, colonial chandeliers and hand-made stained-glass windows that show rock and rap icons as angels.

Breakfast runs until 3 PM, then burgers, schnitzels and share plates take over until midnight; diners often pick the Chicken Parmigiana. For photos, golden hour, from about 4:30 PM to sunset, gives the softest light under the arches.

Expat. Roasters' Petitenget brew bar is a small, minimalist room: a long polished-concrete counter holding a matte-black La Marzocco, black steel frames with strip lighting overhead, and backlit timber shelves stacked with the roaster's own bean bags. The palette is concrete, black and warm wood, and it photographs cleanly. The other Bali branches are in Beachwalk Shopping Mall in Kuta and in Uluwatu.

Order the Magic, a double ristretto with steamed milk, and the Banana Bread, toasted with espresso butter. It opens at 6:30 AM, so make it your first stop before the beach.

Milk & Madu has been a Bali brunch name since 2014, starting in Berawa and now also on Canggu's Beach Road, in Seminyak and in Uluwatu. The Ubud branch, across the road from Ubud Palace, has the strongest look: a double-height room with timber slat walls hung with plants, clusters of rattan lanterns and tall black steel-framed windows.

Order the Ricotta Cakes, Russian-style syrniki with grilled peach, or the Cinnamon Bun French Toast. On weekdays from 7 to 11 AM, the Brekky Set gets you a breakfast, regular coffee and house juice for IDR 110,000 plus tax.

KYND opened in Seminyak in 2017 as a 25-seat café and is now its biggest venue, with more than 100 seats; there are sister cafés in Canggu and Uluwatu. The look is pink throughout: an 'another day in paradise' palm mural, a neon 'it's time to be kynd' sign, scalloped yellow umbrellas, patterned tiles and a pink scooter.

The menu is vegetarian with plenty of vegan dishes. Order the Paradise Pancakes with pink cream, or a smoothie bowl topped with a name of up to eight letters, plus a Pink Strawberry Matcha. KYND takes no bookings, so come early.

Open since 2014 opposite Seminyak Village, Sisterfields is a Melbourne-style brunch café with marble-topped tables, white wire chairs and a wall of tropical greenery around its open-air dining room.

Order the Turkish Eggs with labneh and lamb cevapi, or the Truffle Scrambled Eggs with burnt onion truffle oil and Persian feta. Tables are walk-in only, so come early on weekends.

SUKA Ubud, Suka Collective's café in Pengosekan, was renovated into a warm, light room: a backlit wall of timber shelving behind the bar, a white tiled counter on a glowing timber base, marble-topped tables, rattan chairs and slow ceiling fans.

Order the Chilli Bae (poached eggs, bacon, chilli garlic confit) or the Truffle Scramble with a specialty coffee. The Chilli Bae is one of the IDR 60,000 brekky specials, so come in the morning. The original Suka is in Uluwatu.

Zest fills a renovated traditional Balinese building on the Penestanan ridge, with murals by the artist ArtxPan, a frangipani tree planted at its centre and plush sofas facing the Campuhan Ridge jungle. From the ironwood deck you look straight at the tree the team calls Ubud's 'Avatar tree'.

Everything is plant-based: the Mango Passion Bowls and Savoury Seaweed Waffles photograph well, and the Jackfruit 'Fillet Steak' is the main to try. Come in daylight for the view; evenings bring DJ sets and events.

Revolver began in 2012 as a tiny café down a lane off Kayu Aya, and it still feels like a hidden bar: dark timber, exposed brick, leather banquettes, arched steel windows and a crystal chandelier. It has since grown into a group with its own roastery, venues in Umalas, Canggu and Beachwalk Kuta, and counters at both Bali airports.

Coffee is the reason to come. Try the Crème Brûlée Iced Latte, then the Breakfast Burrito or Smashed Avo. Mornings are busiest; from 4 to 7 PM the daily Rev Up happy hour pours tap cocktails and beers.

Ours sits under a peaked terracotta-tiled Balinese roof on Uluwatu's main café strip. Inside, timber-framed glass walls, linen curtains, an open timber ceiling and rattan chairs mix Balinese open-living with Scandinavian simplicity.

The kitchen now sources from the group's own farm. Order the Ours Shakshuka or the Brazilian Acai Bowl for brunch, or the Ours Strogonoff at dinner. Come for Happy Ours, daily 4–6 PM.

La Montagne is the café of Mahagiri Panoramic Resort in Rendang and bills itself as East Bali's first coffee stop with a Mount Agung view. The dining terrace faces north across terraced rice fields to the volcano, with the Telaga Waja river running in the valley below.

Order a V60 of Indonesian single origin with the 1/2 Crispy Duck, or Satay Ayam for something lighter. Come in the morning: the mountain is usually hidden by cloud from late morning until sunset.

Seniman, Indonesian for "artist", runs its Ubud café as a coffee and design studio. Behind the teak-framed shopfront on Sriwedari Road are exposed brick, a broken-tile mosaic wall, a room striped red, white and blue with a vinyl corner by Tektonik Records, and Seniman's own Bar Roker rocking chairs. The brew bar, with a cold-drip tower and a hand-painted coffee wheel, looks like a coffee lab.

Order a single-origin pour-over or a cold drip, with a canelé from Seniman's own Joni Cheder bakery. Come close to the 7:30 AM opening to get a rocking chair.

The Melbourne roaster's first Bali café, opened in 2024, fills the corner of a Pererenan building wrapped in a tall screen of terracotta brick lattice. Below it, the café's rust-red rendered walls frame big windows and round paper lanterns.

Order the Turkish Eggs (confit garlic labneh, poached eggs, chilli oil) or the Blueberry & Ricotta Hotcake with an Orthodox-blend flat white. It closes at 5 PM, so come early. A second ST. ALi opened in Jimbaran in 2026.

The Shady Shack has served vegetarian and vegan wholefoods in Canggu since 2016, from the couple behind Betelnut. The main room has a white-painted timber roof, rattan pendant lights and louvred shutters, and it opens onto a shady garden with daybeds, timber decks and a small thatched gazebo.

The Nori Bowl is the dish regulars come back for, and the Jack Stack of pulled jackfruit and the Haloumi Burger are good alternatives. Come mid-morning for soft light in the garden, and leave room for a vegan cake from the counter.

Mood is the Ours team's newer daytime café and organic market on the same Uluwatu strip. Backlit arched wall niches hold bottles and jars, baskets of farm produce fill the middle of the room, and woven pendant lamps hang over round wooden tables.

Most produce comes from the group's farm in Bedugul, with no seed oils. Try the Blueberry cottage pancakes or the Papas sando, then shop the market. Breakfast runs until 2 PM.
