Anyone who knows us knows how much we LUV (a little too much) a perfectly brewed coffee and crunchy croissant literally any day of the week. So when we go abroad, we go a little extra OTT…
Here is a list of the best cafés, coffee shops and
pastries we have sourced, tried and tested in Canggu, Bali…
CRATE CAFE
If you’re an Aussie in Bali then you have probably heard of this one.
We initially found this groovy joint when we took part in the early morning Rise & Run Club, but little did we know it would become one of our daily go-to caffeine destinations. Crate provide BIG brunch dishes, smooth coffee and XXL Chia Smoothie pots that are a must try!
The laid-back, industrial setting only add to the vibe.
KYND Community
This hard to miss, instagramable pink cafe is an essential when in Bali and the food keeps you coming back for more!
Offering a whole range of vegan-friendly dishes - KYND have one simple mission… ‘to spread Kyndness as far and wide as possible’. And that they do!
We were fortunate enough to meet the owner Corryn at dinner a few nights prior and I can confirm, her feel-good vibrant energy is truly reflected in what they have created within the KYND Community.
Do yourself a favour and try the Strawberry Matcha - it is just as good as it looks.
FOLD.
Only a short walk from our local gym - The Body Factory - we topped off our sweat sesh with a trip to this gem of a find!
Fold is the perfect blend of minimalist design and culinary creativity. Known for its beautifully crafted pastries, specialty coffee, and modern vibe, it’s the kind of place that you could literally stay all day, hide from the rain and eat your way through the selection of such CRIPSY and CRUNCHY goodies.
