Bali has quietly become one of the world's great brunch destinations. Across the island — from the surf-washed lanes of Canggu to the jungle-edged streets of Ubud — a new generation of cafes is serving morning meals that go well beyond toast and coffee. Think coconut crepes with live chef theatre, Nordic breakfast tapas built to order, and avocado dishes so inventive they have become a category of their own. Whether you are a visitor waking up to your first Bali morning or a long-termer with strong opinions about eggs Benedict, this guide covers the ten cafes that consistently deliver the best brunch in Bali right now.
Getting around to these spots is half the fun. Book your flights into Ngurah Rai International Airport, then sort your ground transport in advance so you hit the morning rush at your own pace. A pre-booked airport transfer drops you straight at your hotel without the scramble for a ride, and a car rental gives you the freedom to chase brunch wherever the mood takes you across the island.

The name says it all: avocado is the undisputed hero at this popular Canggu cafe, and the kitchen treats it with genuine imagination. Set along Jalan Pantai Batu Mejan with views towards rice fields, The Avocado Factory opens daily from 7:00 AM until 11:00 PM, making it one of the more generous time windows for brunch on the island. The menu spans avo pancakes topped with banana, strawberry and chocolate gelato, an Avocado Toast Trio on artisanal bread, smashed avo classics, and a range of bowls and smoothies that lean vegan-friendly. Pair anything with one of their house-made cold-press drinks and you are set for a morning well spent.
The crowd tends to be a healthy mix of visiting Australians who feel right at home with the flavour profiles and Canggu regulars who have made this a weekly ritual. Guacamole done properly, brunch plates with proper portion sizes, and a shaded outdoor seating area all contribute to repeat visits. It is the kind of spot that earns its following not through gimmick but through consistent quality.
Tucked along Jalan Raya Pengosekan in the Ubud area, Ivy Cafe operates daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM and draws a loyal crowd with its combination of cosy, air-conditioned interiors and a menu that leans confidently into both healthy bowls and satisfying comfort food. The signature New Orleans fried chicken is the star dish — crisp, lightly spiced batter with a following of its own among regulars. Beyond that, the kitchen turns out falafel salads, salmon bowls, prawn spaghetti, smoothie bowls and a grilled chicken quinoa that holds its own against anything on the plate. The vegetarian selections are thoughtful rather than an afterthought, and the mocktail list keeps things interesting without a drop of alcohol.
The vibe is warm and unhurried, which matches the pace of Ubud itself. Service is friendly and the English-speaking staff make ordering easy for first-timers. If you are spending a morning in Ubud and want a cafe that balances nutrition with flavour, Ivy is a strong first stop.
Rize in Pererenan describes itself as bringing India to Bali, and the kitchen delivers on that promise with an energy that feels genuinely different from the island's usual brunch landscape. Located at Jalan Pantai Pererenan No. 150, the cafe opens Monday to Sunday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The masala dosa — a crisp fermented rice crepe filled with spiced potato — is the standout, but the menu also covers butter chicken, cheese naan, tofu dishes, and a range of vegetarian options rooted in Indian home cooking traditions. Craft cocktails and a serious chai and coffee programme round out the offering.
The setting near Pererenan Beach keeps things breezy and relaxed, and the cafe has earned a near-perfect rating from hundreds of reviews for good reason. If you are travelling with people who find standard cafe menus predictable, Rize offers a genuine point of difference. The spice levels are adjusted thoughtfully for an international crowd, so bold flavour does not mean overwhelming heat.
Blacklist Coffee Roasters on Jalan Tanah Barak in Canggu is first and foremost a serious coffee destination, open daily from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The roastery sources and processes its own beans, and the espresso-based drinks — long macchiatos, mochas, and single-origin filter options — reflect the care that goes into that process. Espresso starts from IDR 35,000, which is reasonable for specialty-grade coffee. The second location on Jalan Pantai Batu Mejan serves as a roastery and concept store if you want to take beans home.
The food menu leans towards modern Australian brunch classics, which will feel familiar and satisfying for visitors from home. Expect eggs on toast, smashed avo in both classic and vegan variations, freshly baked croissants, avocado toast, and quinoa bowls. The bar opens at noon with signature cocktails and craft beers, turning the space into an all-day venue for those inclined to linger. The contemporary design — exposed concrete, clean lines, good natural light — makes it a genuinely pleasant place to spend a slow morning with a laptop or a book.
Hidden in a small alley off Jalan Benesari in Kuta, Benih Cafe has been a locals' secret since 2018 and still carries the character of a place that has not let discovery change it. The cafe opens daily from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM and keeps prices accessible, with most dishes sitting in the IDR 75,000–100,000 range per person. The Benedict Benih — a well-executed eggs Benedict variation on sourdough — is the headline brunch dish, and the spinach benedict and avocado egg sourdough are close contenders. The Benih burger with a corn fritter patty is a signature lunch crossover that brunch visitors tend to order without hesitation once they spot it on the menu.
Healthy, Asian-inflected flavours run through the whole menu, and the drinks list is worth exploring: the matcha latte is reliable, and the chia smoothie, available in limited quantities each day, is worth ordering early. The setting is tropical and relaxed, the staff are friendly and speak good English, and the overall experience punches well above its price point. For anyone staying along the Kuta or Legian corridor, Benih is the neighbourhood cafe that earns a return visit.
Set within the Adiwana Unagi Suites on Jalan Suweta in Ubud, Ely's Kitchen operates in a different register from the casual street-cafe scene — it offers a full dining experience with nature views, cultural programming, and a menu that draws on the best of Indonesian and broader Asian cuisine. The second-floor seating is highly recommended for the outlook over surrounding greenery, and the atmosphere shifts beautifully from a serene morning to a livelier evening with live acoustic performances on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
The signature Coconut Crepe Suzette is the brunch showstopper: shredded coconut, crushed peanut, coconut sorbet and caramel sauce, prepared tableside by the chef with a live cooking element that makes it as much a performance as a dish. The Balinese Chicken Curry, Ely's Sampler platter, and crispy bebek goreng from Ubud are all strong choices for those who want to anchor a brunch visit in local flavour. Monthly Chef's Specials keep the menu fresh for regulars, and the cultural nights on Tuesdays and Fridays — featuring traditional Balinese dance from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM — give visitors a reason to return after dark.
The name blends the Balinese word warung with the French term for taste, and that collision of cultures is exactly what this Jalan Pantai Berawa cafe delivers. The French countryside aesthetic — weathered timber, soft colour palettes, a children's play area that makes this genuinely family-friendly — sits comfortably in the Berawa neighbourhood without feeling out of place. The brunch menu leans into classic French preparations: cinnamon French toast with warm, spiced sweetness, egg pot dishes, brochette skewers, and a babushka that draws on Eastern European comfort food traditions. Bacon and eggs is done well for those who want something straightforward.
The smoothie bowl topped with fresh seasonal fruit is a lighter alternative for those who have had a big evening before. The kitchen also turns out paninis and pastries for quicker visits. This is the kind of place that rewards a slow Saturday morning — order something from each end of the menu, grab a table in the garden section, and take your time.
Copenhagen Cafe on Jalan Padang Linjong near Echo Beach is one of the most distinctive dining concepts in Canggu, operating daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The format is Scandinavian breakfast tapas: guests choose either three or five items from an extensive selection and build their own plate from scratch. The range covers scrambled eggs, bacon, chicken sausage, smoked salmon lox, grilled mushrooms, pastries, fruit bowls, oatmeal, acai bowl, and Danish rye sandwiches with fillings including potato, egg and tomato tuna, and smoked salmon.
The menu spans six categories and caters thoughtfully to gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan requirements, which makes it one of the more inclusive brunch venues in the area. The early 6:00 AM opening is a genuine draw for surfers and early risers who want a proper meal before hitting Echo Beach. The Scandinavian-minimalist interior is clean and calm, with natural light and a pace that encourages lingering. The location is close enough to the beach that the salt air drifts through on the right morning.
BRAUD began as an artisan bakery supplying ingredients to some of Bali's better restaurants before opening its own cafe on Jalan Mertanadi in Kerobokan. That origin story matters: the quality of the bread and pastries here is not incidental but foundational, and everything on the menu is built around baked goods made properly. The cafe is open Monday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Tuesday through Sunday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Glass display cases hold gleaming croissants, brioche, baguettes and loaves, all visible from the counter where orders are placed.
The brunch menu is concise and well-executed. Truffle Scrambled Eggs (IDR 90,000) arrive on sourdough with wild mushrooms, porcini butter and white truffle oil — a combination that justifies the trip on its own. Eggs Benedict comes with smoked bacon at IDR 90,000 or smoked salmon at IDR 110,000, and The Englishman at IDR 98,000 brings together chicken sausage, baked beans, smoked bacon and sourdough for a hearty full-breakfast option. The pastries are best ordered early before the popular lines sell out, particularly on weekends. BRAUD is a straightforward case of a kitchen doing a few things exceptionally well.
With locations in Berawa, Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud, and Uluwatu, Milk and Madu has established itself as one of Bali's most beloved all-day dining groups, and the Berawa location on Jalan Pantai Berawa remains a flagship worth the visit. The cafe opens daily at 7:00 AM (6:30 AM at the Uluwatu branch) and closes at 10:00 PM, making it one of the more generous schedules on this list. The menu moves across the day: ricotta cakes, smashed avo toast, stacked pancakes with berries and maple syrup, eggs Benedict with smoked salmon or bacon, super bowls loaded with avocado and quinoa, burgers, poke bowls, wood-fired pizza, and BBQ ribs in the evening.
The Big Brekky is the anchor brunch dish — a full plate that covers all the bases with quality ingredients sourced with care. Live band performances on weekends add a layer of energy that suits the buzzy Berawa atmosphere. The organic and fresh approach to ingredients is consistent across locations, which makes it a reliable option whether you are staying in Canggu or making a day trip to Uluwatu. It is brunch with staying power — the kind of place you return to across a week-long trip without it feeling repetitive.
