19 Best Cafés in Ubud (2026) for Breakfast, Brunch and Coffee

RÜSTERS is a coffee roastery, bakery, café and restaurant in the countryside southwest of central Ubud, best reached by car or scooter. Breakfast covers a chorizo burrito with scrambled eggs, spinach, avocado and salsa; a Danish breakfast; chilaquiles verdes; syrniki (Russian-style cottage-cheese pancakes); eggs Benedict; and smashed avocado with turmeric egg and feta on sourdough. Pork is marked on the menu.

Coffee is roasted on site from beans sourced worldwide, and the drinks list adds iced matcha lattes and fresh juices. Tables spread around a well-tended courtyard, and the sunset bar looks over rice fields. With a pottery studio and a Sunday market in the same compound, it is worth a long, unhurried morning.

Seniman Coffee is the Ubud coffee studio of Seniman, one of Indonesia's leading specialty coffee brands, within walking distance of Ubud Palace, the Ubud Art Market and the Puri Lukisan Museum. Coffee is the reason to come: bold espresso, clean filter brews and seasonal selections that show the diversity of Indonesian coffee, served as anything from a latte to a pour-over. Seniman roasts its own beans at its Sakah store in Sukawati.

The room pairs recycled chairs and rustic wooden tables with an artistic, industrial design. The brand also runs coffee workshops for anyone who wants to learn more.

KAFE has been a fixture in central Ubud since late 2004. The kitchen cooks with local, natural and organic ingredients wherever possible and no seed oils, and most of its vegetables come from its partner farm, Yogi's Garden, north of Ubud. Breakfast brings eggs any style, smashed avocado toast, buckwheat pancakes and the Super Charger smoothie bowl, while the main menu is known for Meg's Big Salad Bowl, loaded with vegetables, tofu-tempe crunch and toasted seeds. Separate vegan, keto, kids' and Indonesian menus cover most diets, and bacon is available.

Espresso is taken seriously, with juices and smoothies alongside. Air-conditioning inside, an outdoor porch, fast Wi-Fi and resident dogs make it a fit for laptop workers, families and dog owners.

Milk & Madu, an Australian-style café brand in Bali since 2014, has a branch right across from Ubud Palace. Breakfast is the draw: ricotta cakes, smashed avo, cinnamon-bun French toast, Madu pancakes and the Big Brekky, plus açaí and Super Brekky bowls, with a weekday Brekky Set of breakfast, coffee and juice. Crispy lava-stone pizzas and salad bowls follow, and pork is marked.

Families are well looked after, with a kids' playground, an arts, crafts and face-painting team, a kids' menu and daily pizza-making for children. Live local music plays several times a week, tables can be booked by WhatsApp, and groups of up to 20 can book online.

Clear Cafe is a health-food café in central Ubud where most dishes are vegetarian, vegan or raw, with a few seafood plates for pescatarians. Mornings bring smoothie bowls such as the Protein Monkey, blended from banana, peanut butter, dates, maca and raw cacao and topped with homemade granola, plus Rockstar Oats, buttermilk or gluten-free cassava pancakes, huevos rancheros and a breakfast burrito. Nasi campur comes vegan, with tofu and tempe satay, or with seafood, plus Bali curry soup and homemade sambal.

Cushioned floor seating looks out over greenery, and the drinks include homemade cashew-milk shakes and organic kombucha. Weekly Bahasa Indonesia classes and chess days add a sociable side for vegans, vegetarians and long-stay visitors.

Lazy Cats Cafe sits in the heart of Ubud, with fashionable vintage décor and an entirely meat-free menu built on eggs, cheese, tofu and tempeh, with vegan swaps marked. House favorites are the green avo shakshuka, the Rica Rica tempeh tacos and the brunch platter, while eggs Benedict, the Avo Lover and three vegetarian burgers, from sweet potato and chickpea to tempeh barbecue and portobello, fill out the menu.

Alongside the espresso bar, the café sells its own Sumatra Gayo and Flores Manggarai beans by the bag. Smoothies and cocktails round out the drinks, and a tree is planted for every Forest Smoothie sold. It works for vegetarians and for anyone after an easy brunch in town.

Reina Jungla is a bakery café northeast of central Ubud, and its own motto, 'escape the hustle and bustle', sums up the appeal: a quiet hideaway with a jungle outlook, away from the traffic of town. Baking is the main reason to come, with croissants, pain au chocolat and sourdough, while the brunch side has featured a grilled cheese sandwich served with tomato soup.

Coffee accompanies the bakes, and the café is open every day from breakfast into the evening. It is a good spot for a slow morning, a book or a quiet hour of work, and for travelers staying north of the center who would rather skip the busy streets.

Livingstone Holyground is the Ubud outlet of Livingstone Cafe & Bakery, a brand that began in Seminyak and has been serving croissants in Bali since 2014. Fresh bakes anchor the menu. Breakfast runs from 7 AM to noon and includes a smoked salmon Benedict, and the Baker's Scrambled Eggs Croissant, with streaky bacon (pork or beef), also appears among the burgers and sandwiches. Pork is served and marked on the menu.

The brand has introduced a house Kintamani Blend, and the Classic Avocado Float mixes espresso and avocado with vanilla ice cream. A kids' playground lets parents sit and relax nearby, and there is a kids' menu, so families are as welcome as croissant lovers.

Watercress Ubud, in the center of town, belongs to a Bali café group that opened its first location in Seminyak in 2012. The group calls it its most serene setting, light-filled, relaxed and surrounded by greenery, with fresh, seasonal food built on produce from local farmers. Eggs Benny is the signature: poached eggs under a brown butter and tarragon hollandaise, with a choice of spinach, bacon, ham, salmon gravlax or chorizo; the Benny Brunch set adds chia pudding, juice and coffee.

Turkish eggs, blueberry pancakes, açaí bowls, burgers and chopped salads cover the rest of the day, with cold brew, matcha and the house carrot cake. It works as well for an early breakfast as for a relaxed brunch.

Mudra Cafe calls itself an Ayurvedic island café and a gathering place in the heart of Ubud, with a boutique attached. It is no longer a plant-based-only kitchen: rich butter curries come as butter chicken for meat eaters or a vegan 'butter tricken', and whiskey burgers sit beside smoothie bowls and matcha pancakes with matcha white-chocolate ganache. Matcha is a specialty, and guests can grind their own ceremonial matcha.

Evenings bring out the community side, with live music on Tuesdays, a Wednesday song circle, a Thursday bachata class followed by salsa and bachata social dancing, plus open mic and handpan nights. A long breakfast here can easily roll into a sociable evening.

Sayuri Healing Food is a fully vegan café and culinary academy, serving cooked and raw plant-based food that prioritizes organic, naturally grown vegetables, with activated nuts and seeds and plenty of gluten-free dishes. Breakfast runs all day: the Big Boy Breaky with cashew 'egg' and coconut 'bacon', a breakfast burrito, a vegan omelet, quinoa porridge, a gluten-free waffle and smoothie or chia bowls. Raw desserts are a house specialty, and superfood smoothies and cold-pressed juices round things out.

The academy runs vegan chef training courses, workshops and cooking classes, and the café hosts kirtan, yoga and music nights. It suits vegans, wellness travelers and anyone keen to learn plant-based cooking.

Yellow Flower Café sits among the rice fields on a ridge west of central Ubud, with volcano views. The kitchen promises honest food and tropical flavors from organic, local produce; it serves meat, but there are plenty of vegan options. Smoothie bowls are the breakfast staple, alongside pancakes and Indonesian plates, and Sundays bring an evening session from 5 PM.

The same owners run a small shop on site and a few boutique villas. It is handy for anyone staying on the west side of Ubud, and worth leaving the center for a quieter, greener breakfast with a view.

Fold Ubud, in the south of town, is the second store of Fold, an artisan bakery that started in Canggu. The Canggu bakery is still open, so the Ubud shop is an addition rather than a move. Pastry is the focus, with croissants at the heart of the range, and the same bakery supplies other businesses through its wholesale arm.

It makes an easy morning stop for anyone staying on the southern side of Ubud, and a handy place to pick up pastries on the way into town. The Ubud store has its own WhatsApp line for inquiries, separate from the Canggu one.

Alchemy is a fully plant-based, gluten-free café west of central Ubud, from a group that has been developing plant-based food in Bali since 2011. Many dishes are raw, never heated above 43°C. Breakfast is served all day, built around a create-your-own breakfast bar of smoothie, coconut yogurt or chia bases with fruit and sprinkles, plus avocado toast, an açaí bowl, banana taro pancakes and the Champion Breakfast Plate.

Coffee uses Arabica or decaf beans with almond or coconut milk, and the Bali Mocha Spice adds cacao and cayenne. A vegan soft-serve bar finishes things off, and Alchemy Wellness shares the address: an easy pick for wellness-minded travelers and gluten-free diners.

Tucky is a specialty coffee and brunch café in central Ubud, a ten-minute walk from Ubud Palace and five minutes from Ubud Market, run by the team behind Bacari wine bar. Espresso is Fazenda Primavera, a single-estate Brazilian Arabica, and cold brew uses Kintamani single-origin beans; iced signatures include a peanut butter latte and a matcha kaya. Breakfast and brunch run all day with South and Southeast Asian flavors: akuri, Indian-spiced scrambled eggs with chutneys, eggs with slow-cooked beef short rib or spiced lamb shoulder, and peanut butter toast with Bedugul berries.

Bacon and ham are offered, and dishes can be made plant-based. It is laptop-friendly by day, and in the evening the space becomes Bacari.

Powder Room is the daytime bakery and candy store of Room4Dessert, Chef Will Goldfarb's dessert restaurant northwest of central Ubud. The counter is pure pastry: croissants, the twice-baked 'Second Life' croissant, pain au chocolat, pop-tarts and botanical bomboloni in flavors such as vanilla crème brûlée, plus sourdough soft serve. Breakfast is a continental set of yogurt and granola, a bake, jamu and coffee or tea, or a bacon and egg muffin.

Coffee comes black, white or as cold brew, alongside a homemade cola and jamu. Handmade candies from local ingredients and single-estate chocolate bars are on sale, and free community workshops run here too. It suits pastry lovers and early risers.

Seta Coffee is a Sanur micro-roastery founded by Indonesian architect Jafni Zul Fahmi and Australian coffee maker Aidan Broderick. Its Ubud branch, the Seta Coffee Library, grew out of a large collection of rare books. Locally grown beans are roasted in small batches at the Sanur studio, and signatures include the Seta Salted Coffee and the Seta Mont Blanc.

Breakfast runs all day, from tomato-chili scrambled eggs and avocado toast to eggs Florentine and sautéed mushrooms with ricotta, with quiche, nasi goreng, Indonesian snacks such as pisang goreng and tempe mendoan, and homemade bakes from orange cake to scones. The calm, homey room is designed for reading and slow living.

Cloud Bakery is a bakery café southeast of central Ubud and part of the family group behind Bebek Tepi Sawah and Svarga Bebek Villas. A cabinet of daily bakes and sandwiches sits beside an all-day brunch menu with Balinese twists: Bebek Betutu shokupan, spiced Balinese duck on Japanese milk bread, mentaiko shokupan, lontar French toast and ricotta honeycomb pancakes with lontar syrup, plus Turkish eggs and a full cooked breakfast. Pork appears in the bacon and sausages.

Drinks follow the same local thread, from lontar and pandan lattes to a black salt mocha made with Kusamba salt and matcha with purple sweet potato. It is a good introduction to Balinese flavors at breakfast.

Kurasu Ubud is the local outpost of Kurasu, the Kyoto specialty coffee and matcha brand, inside the Panen Padi Lounge at Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana; the resort calls it an exclusive Ubud pop-up. The lounge was once the home of Hendra Hadiprana, has a mural ceiling telling the family's story and looks over rice paddies.

Single-origin hand-drip coffee changes with the beans available, and the matcha is Kurasu's own ceremonial blend, including the Ubud-only Matcha Kinako with kinako cream and dango. Breakfast has Japanese touches: a tamagoyaki omelet with bacon, and eggs Benedict with smoked gindara and burnt-miso hollandaise, alongside shakshuka. It suits coffee and matcha devotees; expect lines on weekends.
