Cafes in Canggu
If you love cute cafes, you’ll want to come to Canggu! I’ve never been treated to such a variety of cute cafes in one small town!
Funky Pancakes
One of the newest cafes in Canggu, Funky Pancakes is a great option if you’re looking for a funky brunch spot in Bali. With a wide variety of choices to keep both sweet and savoury lovers happy it’s no wonder Funky Pancakes has already become a popular spot in Canggu. And their colourful pancakes are all vegan friendly! Make sure to try their signature rainbow stack which is not only beautifully colourful but also very delicious.

The Avocado Factory
I have an addiction to avocados so when I saw there was a place called The Avocado Factory in Canggu I knew I needed to visit! Everything on the menu has avocado somewhere in the dish.

A lot of the dishes are vegetarian and many can easily be made vegan.

One visit to Alternative Beach and I became hooked. With a bar in the pool, discount beer buckets and cocktails, bean bags in the pool and a great atmosphere, it’s easy to see why this a popular spot. There is an entrance fee to get in, or you could choose to stay at the hostel on site.

Sweet Treats in Canggu
After treating your taste buds to the smoothie bowls, poached eggs, avocado on toast, nasi goreng, or any number of amazing dishes in Canggu, sometimes it’s fun to treat yourself to something sweet.
Creamery & Co.
With a focus on creating small batches of handcrafted ice cream that punch flavour, Creamery & Co is both a delicious and fun stop to make while touring Canggu’s food scene. This is because they make their ice cream using liquid nitrogen which churns the ice cream right in front of your eyes. You can’t get fresher than this!
