Let’s Talk Travel Insurance For Bali: Everything You Need To Know
FINNS Holidays is all about holidays in Bali, and tens of thousands of people visit Bali every year without a single issue. In fact, many
Bali has loads of great breakfast spots, whether you want something hearty, something fresh and healthy, or just a strong coffee and a decent feed to fuel you for the day ahead. And if the night before got a little out of hand, plenty of places can help ease that hangover away too.
We’re stretching breakfast right through to brunch for this guide, because we know you’re not all early risers, especially after a night on the tiles. From full English breakfasts and stacks of pancakes to smoothie bowls, smashed avocado and some Indonesian favourites, these are 24 of the best places for breakfast in Bali.
OK, so this is definitely more of a brunch spot than a breakfast one; FINNS doesn’t even open until 11 am! But that said, if you didn’t leave before midnight the night before, you probably won’t be out much earlier than that anyway.
Monsoon doesn’t have a traditional brunch menu. Instead, you can basically build your own, picking whatever takes your fancy from a huge menu covering cuisines from around the world. Sushi for breakfast? Why not? Pizza before midday? Nobody’s judging.
There are sweet treats and desserts too, and you’re not limited to where you eat; in fact, food can be ordered from pretty much every corner of the venue.
Then, once you’re fed, you’re already exactly where you need to be for a day of sun, swimming and lounging around by the pool. Stick around for sunset over the Indian Ocean, and there’s every chance brunch will turn into another night at FINNS.

Sisterfields brings a little slice of Australian cafe culture to the heart of Seminyak, and it’s been one of the area’s go-to morning spots for years. It opens at 7 am, so unlike our first entry, this one really is breakfast.
The menu covers pretty much every mood. Go healthy with an acai berry bowl or smashed avo, tuck into the Full Breaky with eggs, bacon, mushrooms and roast tomatoes, or go all out with the chocolate brioche French toast. There are pancakes, eggs Benedict and breakfast sandwiches too.
Coffee is pretty serious here, with everything from flat whites and piccolo to cold and frozen coffees. Sisterfields is popular, though, and brunch is walk-in only, so you may have to wait for a table when it’s busy.

Livingstone has been serving freshly baked goodies in Petitenget since 2014, and the bakery side of things is a big reason to come here. Their croissants are something of a signature, baked fresh each morning alongside plenty of other breads, cakes and pastries.
If you want a proper sit-down breakfast, there’s plenty more than baked goods. You can go for something filling like the Baker’s Big Breakfast, or keep things sweeter with a French-style pastry treat. There are lighter options too, including fruit and avocado dishes.
And then there’s the coffee. Livingstone takes it seriously, with three house blends, including one made using beans grown right here in the Kintamani highlands.

Revolver started life as a tiny cafe tucked away in Seminyak back in 2012, and despite becoming one of the island’s best-known names for coffee, it still remains a bit of a hidden gem.
Coffee is still very much at the heart of the place, with its own roastery and some seriously good Arabica beans going into every cup. But you don’t have to survive on caffeine alone. Revolver has plenty to eat too, with eggs, toast, breakfast burgers and plenty of lighter options if you’re trying to behave yourself.
This original location still has plenty of character too. It’s a good shout when you want a decent feed and some seriously good coffee in Bali before heading out for the day.

If you like your breakfast colourful, KYND certainly delivers. The Petitenget cafe is hard to miss with its bright pink decor, and the food follows much the same theme, with some seriously photogenic plates coming out of the kitchen.
Smoothie bowls have always been one of KYND’s biggest things, with acai and tropical fruit options topped with fresh fruit and house-made granola. But there’s plenty more on the menu, from avo toast and a big breakfast to dishes with eggs or scrambled tofu.
And if you’re feeling thirsty, there are some sneaky “brunch cocktails” on the menu too. We like the Bloody Mary here, and judging by how many we see going out, we’re definitely not alone.
KYND is plant-forward rather than completely vegan these days, with a small number of vegetarian dishes using free-range eggs and dairy. It opens at 7:30 am, and the morning menu is available right through until 5 pm.

The first thing you’ll probably notice at Brunch Club is the pancakes. Their famous Porncakes are ridiculously thick and fluffy, take up to 30 minutes to prepare, and come piled with everything from crème brûlée and New York cheesecake toppings to crispy bacon and maple syrup.
It’s not all Porncakes though; the menu is actually huge. There’s a big breakfast, smashed avocado, granola, frozen fruit bowls and a brekkie burger, along with waffles, sandwiches and plenty of coffee…and even some cocktails.
Still, the Porncakes are what made this place famous, and they’re what bring many there in the first place. They’re completely over the top, but that’s rather the point.

If you hadn’t already guessed, avocados are the star of the show here. The Avocado Factory opened in 2017 as the island’s first avocado bar, and pretty much everything on the menu finds some way of squeezing them in.
Breakfast choices range from avo toast and eggs to smoothie bowls and some much bigger plates if you wake up hungry. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options too, and the focus is very much on fresh, healthy food rather than your traditional fry-up.
You’ll find it just off Batu Bolong in Canggu, surrounded by rice fields and greenery. It opens at 7 am, so it’s also a good one for early risers wanting to get fed before the day gets going.

CRATE has been a favourite Canggu cafe for years, with big portions, reasonable prices and good coffee keeping the place busy from early in the morning. It opens at 6 am, making it one of the earliest places on our list to get fed.
The menu is packed with CRATE’s own creations, including the Wuddup Toastie with bacon, eggs and cheese, the Veto with smashed avo, poached eggs and feta, and the Barber with scrambled eggs, bacon and sourdough. There are also plenty of lighter choices, including fresh fruit and some more substantial protein-packed options.
It’s simple, filling cafe food served in generous portions, and a good choice when you want a proper feed without spending a fortune.

Milk & Madu has long been considered one of the best cafes in Canggu, with a big all-day menu and plenty of choice for both adults and kids. It’s particularly handy for families, with lots of space and a playground to keep younger visitors occupied while you actually get a chance to eat.
Breakfast covers all the classics, including smashed avo and breakfast burritos, alongside lighter options. There’s coffee, fresh juices and smoothies too, plus cocktails if your morning is heading in that direction.
It can get pretty busy, especially around the usual brunch hours, but the large space and family-friendly setup make Milk & Madu an easy option when you’re eating with a group.

Bread Yard is part bakery, part cafe, and the bread and pastries are all made in-house. Croissants are folded and baked fresh each morning, alongside sourdough, brioche and plenty of sweet pastries, so it’s a good choice if you’re happy with something simple and a coffee.
There’s plenty more on offer too. The Breakfast Yard is the big option, while other choices include smoked salmon rosti, burrata on toast, avocado toast and fried chicken with waffles. Recent visitors are particularly complimentary about the croissants and sourdough.
Coffee, smoothies, fresh juices and house-made kombucha cover the morning drinks, and there are cocktails available if the mood starts drifting towards lunch.

The Shady Shack has been around since 2016, serving an entirely vegetarian menu with plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices too. It’s especially good if you’re looking for something fresh and healthy in the morning, but the portions are substantial enough that you won’t leave hungry.
The all-day menu includes a halloumi breakfast with soft-boiled eggs, kale and avocado, as well as a big breakfast loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, sweet potato and sourdough. You can swap the eggs for scrambled tofu to make that one vegan.
There’s also a good selection of bowls, fresh juices and coffee, with everything served in a leafy, open-air setting that suits a slow morning rather nicely.

Nourish does exactly what the name suggests, with plenty of fresh, healthy choices on the menu, but it isn’t exclusively for the clean-eating crowd. You can just as easily order a Big Brekkie with bacon, eggs, hash brown and sourdough if that’s more your thing.
Other breakfast options include baked skillet eggs, corn fritters with poached eggs and the Nourish Benny. There’s also overnight oats and chia pudding, with plenty of plant-based choices throughout the menu.
The cafe opens at 7 am, making it a nice early stop before heading to the beaches or spending the day exploring Uluwatu.

Suka Espresso is an Aussie-style cafe serving all of the morning favourites alongside some seriously good coffee. It’s become a popular morning stop in Uluwatu, with plenty of choice whether you want a light start or something much more filling.
There’s smashed avo, eggs Benedict, shakshuka and truffle scrambled eggs, along with the Big Breaky, loaded with bacon, eggs, hash brown, mushrooms, tomato and sourdough. For something sweeter, there are blueberry pancakes, smoothie bowls, chia pudding and freshly baked croissants.
There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options too, while the coffee is made using beans sourced from across Indonesia. Breakfast runs until 3 pm, so late risers are well catered for too.

Gooseberry brings a bit of French influence to breakfast in Bingin, with a menu that’s quite different from the places we’ve covered so far. The restaurant itself is lovely too, with indoor seating and a leafy outdoor area overlooking the pool.
Savoury choices include potato waffles with house-cured salmon and hollandaise, a green omelette with asparagus and ricotta, steak and eggs, and a croque monsieur with braised ham and Gruyère.
The sweet side is just as tempting, with French toast, croissant pudding and soufflé-style pancakes with blueberry compote. There’s also an açaí bowl and fresh fruit if you want to keep things lighter.
Gooseberry opens at 8 am, so nice and early if you have an activity-filled day up ahead.

Pison is as much about the coffee as the food, with locally sourced beans and a choice of house blends to get the morning started. The Ubud branch opens at 7 am, with indoor seating and an outdoor area looking across the rice fields.
The current breakfast menu includes the Sunrise, a big plate of eggs, bacon, mushrooms, avocado, hash brown and sourdough. There are Turkish eggs with chilli oil and garlic yoghurt, a house-cured salmon bagel, and a Japanese breakfast bowl with salmon, brown rice, quinoa and vegetables.
It’s a nice mix of familiar Western favourites and Asian-inspired dishes, and there are plenty of lighter choices if you don’t fancy a huge plate first thing in the morning.

If you’re staying in Nusa Dua and fancy going all out, The Cafe at The Mulia is our pick for a proper buffet breakfast, and you don’t need to be staying at the resort to eat here.
The huge spread covers cuisines from around the world, with Western, Indo, Japanese, Korean, Indian and other Asian dishes, plus live cooking stations where food is prepared fresh. There’s even a dedicated dessert room.
It’s certainly one of the more indulgent ways to enjoy an amazing breakfast on this list, but the sheer choice makes it worth considering.

Clear Cafe has a huge menu. There’s a strong healthy-food angle, but it’s not one of those places where everything feels like it was designed specifically for a wellness retreat.
Morning choices include eggs, omelettes, pancakes, and fresh fruit, with plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. You’ll also find local dishes on the menu, which makes Clear a nice addition to a list that inevitably contains a lot of Aussie-style cafes.
The setting is part of the appeal too, with a colourful interior, lots of greenery and the restaurant’s distinctive carved circular doorway. It’s somewhere you can quite happily linger over breakfast rather than rushing off once you’ve eaten.

Genius Cafe sits right on the beachfront in Sanur and is a good option if you want to enjoy breakfast with your feet almost in the sand. The menu has a strong plant-based focus, although there are plenty of dishes with eggs too.
You’ll find everything from açai bowls and avocado dishes to charcoal pancakes, alongside fresh juices and proper coffee. There are plenty of vegan choices, and the beachfront tables make this a particularly nice little cafe for a slow morning by the sea.

Biku is a little different from most of the cafes on this list, set inside a beautiful 150-year-old Javanese teak house and mixing Indo influences with familiar Western cafe food.
The all-day breakfast menu means you can eat well beyond the usual morning hours, with eggs, bacon, avocado, fresh fruit and lighter options available. There’s decent coffee too, alongside fresh juices and smoothies.
Biku is also well known for its afternoon teas, so there’s plenty of reason to come back later if you enjoy your morning visit.

Sawah Terrace is the place to go if you want to push the boat out a little, with breakfast served overlooking the rice fields and Ayung River at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.
The breakfast buffet combines Indonesian dishes with international favourites, alongside fresh fruit, pastries, juices and dishes cooked to order. You don’t need to be staying at the resort to eat here either.
If you’re looking for the best brunch or somewhere special for a more luxurious morning in the heart of Bali, Sawah Terrace certainly deserves a look.

Watercress is a well-established coffee shop with a strong focus on fresh produce and quality coffee beans, including its own house blend roasted locally.
The morning menu covers eggs, sourdough, avocado and plenty of lighter options, while the Watercress Omelette comes packed with spinach, mushrooms, feta and herbs. There are also sweet choices and freshly baked pastries if you want something simpler.
It’s a good choice if you want coffee and breakfast somewhere relaxed before heading into central Ubud.

SUKA is an Aussie-style cafe in Ubud with a broad all-day menu, so it works just as well for an early start as it does for a late Canggu brunch-style feed without the trip south.
There are eggs, sourdough, avocado and bigger cooked dishes, alongside lighter choices and plenty of vegetarian options. Coffee is taken seriously too, with Indonesian coffee beans used across the drinks menu.
It’s a straightforward but delicious breakfast cafe with enough variety to keep everyone at the table happy.

Coffee comes from respected local roaster Seniman, while juices, smoothies and a few morning cocktails round out the drinks. If you’re trying to find the best cafe for a relaxed morning in Sanur, Sala is certainly worth having on your list.

Canggu has some of the best cafes in Bali for brunch and breakie, so you’re certainly not short of options. The Avocado Factory is a favourite for healthy food and anything avocado-related, while CRATE Cafe is an iconic Canggu breakfast spot for smoothie bowls, coffee and a quick feed.
Milk & Madu is another great choice, especially if you’re with the kids, while Monsoon at FINNS is our pick for Canggu brunch when you’re ready to make a day of it.
Sisterfields is one of the best places for breakfast in Seminyak, with an Aussie-inspired breakfast and brunch menu and consistently great coffee. It’s been one of Seminyak’s favourite cafes for years.
You’ve also got Revolver Espresso if specialty coffee is high on your list, KYND for vegan breakfasts and bowls, and Livingstone if freshly baked bread and pastries sound like a good way to start the morning.
Breakfast menus in Bali are incredibly varied. Most cafes serve familiar breakfast classics like scrambled eggs, poached eggs, sunny side up eggs, pancakes, granola, avocado toast and smoothie bowls, alongside fresh fruit, juices and plenty of coffee.
You’ll also find Indonesian favourites, with nasi goreng and bubur ayam among the more traditional breakfast options. And if you want something properly local, a traditional Balinese breakfast can include dishes such as bubur mengguh, a savoury rice porridge traditionally served with chicken and vegetables.
There’s no shortage of great breakfast places in Bali, and you could quite easily eat somewhere different every morning of your holiday.
From a healthy smoothie bowl or smashed avocado by the beach to a hearty breakfast, quality coffee or a long, lazy brunch, there’s something for pretty much everyone.
And don’t worry if you sleep through breakfast altogether. This is Bali; plenty of places keep the breakfast and brunch going well into the afternoon.
