By the siappergi.com team · Published · 6 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Bali has hundreds of cafés with rice-field, cliff or volcano views. The easiest way to explore them is by scooter: hop from one to the next without worrying about car parking. Here are the best areas and tips.
Best café areas
| Area | Vibe | Best time |
|---|---|---|
| Canggu – Pererenan – Berawa | Modern cafés, brunch, remote workers | Morning 7–10 am |
| Ubud – Penestanan | Rice-field cafés, healthy and calm | Morning or late afternoon |
| Uluwatu – Bingin – Padang Padang | Clifftop and surf cafés | Late afternoon before sunset |
| Kintamani | Cafés overlooking Mount & Lake Batur | Clear mornings before the mist |
| Bedugul – Munduk | Cool highland cafés | Midday |
Bali's cafés change names or close often; check recent reviews and opening hours on Google Maps before you ride.
A one-day café plan
- Breakfast or brunch in Canggu or Pererenan before traffic builds.
- Ride to Ubud on village roads around midday (about 1 hour) — see Canggu to Ubud by scooter.
- Afternoon coffee with a rice-field view in Ubud.
- Head back before dark, or stay the night in Ubud to avoid a tiring ride.
Kintamani cafés are at their best on a clear morning. It's chilly up there, so bring a jacket — and rent a scooter with enough power for the climb from Ubud.
Parking & safety
- Park where a parking attendant is on duty; keep small change ready.
- Lock the steering and don't leave helmets or bags on the bike.
- Canggu's roads are narrow and busy — be patient and don't park on the shoulder.
- Read petrol, stations and parking in Bali.
