‘Canggu life’ has already become a well-used term! The pulse here is undeniable, with bohemian vibes and surf culture colliding, a perfect place to hang around. The cafes are spots that are not just for a caffeine fix, they are community hubs, design marvels, and culinary destinations. With literally hundreds of cafes in Canggu, you gotta know where to go!
So, here are a few spots I personally recommend you to check out!
In the heart of Batu Mejan, The Avocado Factory stands as a testament to industrial chic. Designed by Leon and built in August 2023, this spot is a celebration of everyone’s favorite superfood – who doesn’t love a good avo! The brutalist architecture provides a striking backdrop to the lush greenery and vibrant dishes. I think The Avocado Pancake and Roasted Chicken are signature items not to be missed.
Kynd Community brings a burst of color and tropical modern design to both Seminyak and Canggu. Designed by the owners themselves, with the Seminyak location built in 2018 and Canggu in 2023, Kynd is known for its vibrant interiors and open, airy spaces. The Acai Bowl and Pancakes are the stars of the menu, but it’s the famous pink mural and custom tegel Kynd tile that truly sets this place apart. I feel like the space is a blend of style and substance, a place where every corner is Instagram-worthy.
Crate Cafe is more than just a place to eat; it’s a community. Designed by Maree Suteja and built in 2014, Crate has evolved over the years, but its essence remains the same: great music, great food, great coffee, and great people creating great vibes! I really like it here! The industrial architecture provides a raw, authentic backdrop to the bustling atmosphere. The Brekkie is a must-try!
Shady Shack offers a breezy colonial escape with its high ceilings, large veranda, and garden facing the rice fields. Built in 2016, this cafe is all about healthy vegetarian food and relaxation. Try their Haloumi Bowl, Nori Bowl, and vegan sweet potato gnocchi – they are a taste sensation! With its long tables and spacious garden, Shady Shack is perfect for groups or solo reflection. It’s a place where I can really slow down and savor the moment.
Each of these cafes offers a unique experience, a blend of design, flavor, and community that captures the spirit of Canggu. Discovering your next favorite cafe as you explore Canggu!
