If there’s one thing Canggu never runs out of, it’s cafes. From hidden garden spots to beach-view brunch havens, every corner seems to have a place serving flat whites and smoothie bowls that could make anyone a morning person.
After spending quite some time exploring the area, from Pererenan to Batu Bolong, I’ve found a few cafés that truly stand out. Not just because they look good on Instagram, but because they offer something special: the kind of brunch that makes you slow down, smile, and stay longer than you planned.
Here are my top 6 cafes for brunch in Canggu, based on real experiences and a lot of coffee.
1. WOODS Bali – A Brunch That Feels Like a Retreat
WOODS Bali in Pererenan is the first cafe that came to mind when I thought of memorable brunches. The design alone sets the tone with its open area, wood-accented space surrounded by greenery that feels calm, elegant, and effortlessly Bali.The menu strikes a perfect balance between creative and comforting. My personal favorite is their Truffle Scrambled Eggs, fluffy, rich, and perfectly seasoned. The coffee is also consistently excellent (smooth, strong, and beautifully served).
What makes WOODS truly special is the atmosphere. It’s quiet enough to talk, yet full of life with a gentle background playlist that makes the experience even better. Whether I’m catching up with friends or working from my laptop, it always feels like the right place to be.
Why it’s worth a visit:
- Refined, nature-inspired interior that feels peaceful.
- Exceptional brunch menu with consistent quality.
- Professional yet warm service.
- Perfect spot for slow mornings or creative afternoons.

2. Brunch Club Pererenan – Big Flavors, Bigger Personality
If you’re looking for a more energetic brunch experience, Brunch Club delivers every time. It’s bright, open, and always buzzing with life, the kind of cafe where laughter and chatter blend with the smell of fresh pancakes.
Their signature souffle “Porncakes” are honestly a must-try. They’re thick, fluffy, and sweet without being too heavy, an absolute instagram favorite for a reason. The savory options are just as good; their Avo Smash and Eggs Benny are top-tier.
Why it’s worth a visit:
- Fun, social atmosphere perfect for groups.
- Unique menu with both playful and classic brunch items.
- Great location in Pererenan with easy access and parking.
3. Honey Kitchen – Healthy Meets Beautiful
Honey Kitchen is where I go when I want something fresh, organic, and visually stunning. The design is minimal yet elegant with white walls, gold accents, and plenty of natural light that gives the space an upscale, but comfortable vibe.
The food reflects the same style: clean, bright, and thoughtfully plated. Their Zucchini Feta Omelet and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are absolute standouts, light yet satisfying. I also appreciate that they focus on quality local produce and wholesome ingredients.
Why it’s worth a visit:
- Aesthetic, photogenic cafe design.
- Health-forward brunch menu that still feels indulgent.
- Calm and welcoming service.
4. The Avocado Factory – For the Love of Avocado
As the name suggests, The Avocado Factory is paradise for avo lovers (and yes, I’m one of them). Everything, from smoothies to burgers, comes with a creative avocado twist.
I tried their Avocado Pancakes and was surprised at how well balanced the flavor was, slightly sweet, creamy, and refreshing. Their Avocado Toast with Poached Egg is also one of the best I’ve had in Canggu: simple, but done right.
The open-air space overlooking the rice fields adds to the experience. It’s vibrant, relaxed, and perfect for people-watching.
Why it’s worth a visit:
- Signature avocado-themed menu that’s fun and creative.
- Great location near the main Canggu strip.
- Fresh, colorful dishes that photograph beautifully.
5. Brekky Cafe Pererenan – Comfort and Creativity
A hidden gem in Pererenan, Brekky Café feels homey in the best way. It’s small, cozy, and full of character, ideal if you prefer a quiet brunch spot away from the crowd.
What stood out to me was the balance between international comfort food and local twists. Their Shakshuka and Russian-style Pancakes are surprisingly delicious and unique among the Canggu café scene. The team here genuinely makes you feel welcome, which makes every visit memorable.
Why it’s worth a visit:
- Cozy atmosphere and friendly local team.
- Unique dishes not found elsewhere in Canggu.
- Affordable and great for everyday brunches.

6. Crate Cafe – The Canggu Classic
No brunch list in Canggu would be complete without mentioning Crate Cafe. It’s practically a landmark for digital nomads and travelers who’ve made this place their daily ritual.
Expect a lively crowd, generous portions, and that signature Canggu energy. I usually go for their “The Barber” Breakfast Bowl or their Smoothie Bowls, both of which are great value for money. Yes, it gets busy, but that’s part of its charm. You come for the food, stay for the people-watching, and maybe even meet someone new.
Why it’s worth a visit:
- Iconic brunch destination in Canggu.
- Big portions and quick service.
- Great value with a vibrant, social vibe.
Final Thoughts
Canggu’s cafe scene is constantly evolving, but these six spots capture what makes brunch here so special, creativity, atmosphere, and authenticity. Each one has its own personality: from the tranquil sophistication of WOODS Bali to the lively hum of Brunch Club and the local warmth of Brekky Cafe. Whether you’re after an elegant brunch experience or a laid-back coffee spot, you’ll find it here. If I could recommend just one to start with, it would be WOODS Bali, where good food, calm energy, and beautiful design come together for a brunch that feels truly unforgettable.
