14. Hidden breakfast gem in Ubud – Section 9

We stumbled upon this hidden gem just a short drive away from Ubud’s city centre – a quiet little cafe – a refreshing break from the bustle and heavy traffic of Jalan Raya Ubud.

Over here, you can choose to sit indoors, or outdoors right next to a vast field of paddy fields. It was quite comfortable outdoors and only slightly warm, even though we were there at around 10am (and as fellow Southeast Asians, we’re definitely not a fan of the tropical heat!).

We felt super chill and comfy, not to mention the cafe has a beautiful earth-tone decor – so it’s IG-worthy in almost every corner.

Here, they serve both Western, Mexican fusion and Indonesian breakfasts and snacks (their quesadillas were delicious!). They also have good options for desserts and coffee too! If you’re looking for something healthy, there’s lots of options to choose from – from salads, poke bowls, to smoothies and more.

Their wifi is also pretty strong – so fellow digital nomads, feel free to get some work done after brekkie. After all, isn’t working by the beach or in the middle of rice paddies the dream in Bali?!

Guess what, they call themselves the “no beach… beach club” – you have the mandatory pool, bar, and lounge decks , just not the sand and sea!

Well, who needs the beach when you are a forest sprite?

If you are just in the mood for just a meal, head over to the overhead restaurant and get treated to the full view of the pool and the emerald Osh River Valley beyond. The whole atmosphere here takes you out of this world!

20. Experience life as the local farmers do – Bee Cafe at Adiwana Bee House

If you’re after an authentic Indonesian experience, you’d be hard-pressed to find one more authentic than this one.

Built with the irrigation community and farmers in mind, Bee Cafe is where the locals congregate during their breaks, where they come together and rest between shifts of hard labour in the paddy fields.
