# Best Cafes in Bali 2026 — Our Editor's Picks

*Bali Coffee Culture / Guide*

The best cafes in Bali are concentrated in Canggu, with serious specialty coffee in Ubud and clifftop spots in Uluwatu. For an all-day cafe that also covers food and drinks, our pick is Penny Lane Bali in Canggu, open 8AM daily. For dedicated specialty coffee, head to Blacklist Roasters in Canggu, Seniman Coffee Studio in Ubud, and % Arabica in Uluwatu. Expect IDR 35,000–60,000 for a premium coffee.

Bali's cafe culture splits two ways: dedicated specialty-coffee roasters chasing the perfect single origin, and all-day cafes built for lingering, working and eating. Canggu has the densest scene, but Ubud's roasteries and Uluwatu's ocean-view spots are worth the drive.

We've picked across both camps — the best all-day cafe to base a day around, plus the standout dedicated roasters by region — so you can match the cafe to the mood.

## 1. Penny Lane — Editor's Pick (all-day cafe, Canggu)

If you want a cafe you can actually settle into — coffee in the morning, food at midday, a drink at dusk — Penny Lane is the most useful in Bali, with 6,800+ Google reviews at 4.5 stars. It opens at 8AM under a courtyard of limestone arches, with good coffee, a broad all-day menu and a cocktail list for later. It's less a pure coffee bar than a place to spend hours, which is exactly why it wins here.

## 2. Blacklist Roasters — Canggu

A serious Canggu roastery with an industrial-chic room and a focus on premium single origins. The pick when coffee quality is the whole point rather than the setting.

## 3. Seniman Coffee Studio — Ubud

A pioneer of Bali's specialty scene, with an on-site micro-roastery, brew bar and equipment shop. The destination for coffee nerds when you're in Ubud.

## 4. % Arabica — Uluwatu

The Uluwatu outpost of the global minimalist coffee brand, known for dramatic ocean-view seating. As much about the cliff outlook as the cup — worth it if you're down south.

## Specialty bar or all-day cafe?

Quick rule: for a precise pour-over, go to a dedicated roaster like Blacklist or Seniman; for a place to work, eat and stay, an all-day cafe wins. Penny Lane sits in Canggu on Jl. Munduk Catu, walkable to Batu Bolong's coffee strip if you want to do both.
