There are so many cafes in Bali that it’s hard to know where to go! All over the island, you’ll find great coffee, hearty breakfasts and fresh, seasonal fare made with love & local produce from the land. From pancake stacks to raw vegan spreads to start your day, here are my favourite cafes to eat at around Bali.
