Braud Cafe Seminyak
This Seminyak cafe is not just a place to eat. It has become a food destination for locals and foreigners. If you’re not there early, you might even have to line-up. Yes, it’s that serious.

Doppio Cafe Pink
One of my favourite Seminyak cafes to enjoy a big, healthy breakfast. Doppio Cafe Pink is a popular spot to fill up on a smoothie bowl, and (in my opinion) one of the best cafes in Seminyak to enjoy a post-workout protein shake with a protein waffle. It’s also quite picturesque!

The Koop Roaster & Cafe
Quality breakfast, strong coffee, and decent prices. This is one of the best Seminyak cafes to enjoy coffee that’s locally sourced from their own farm.
The Koop Roaster has 2 floors – I recommend sitting on the 2nd floor to get a view of the street. There’s no aircon so it can get quite warm but I’m sure it wouldn’t stop you from enjoying their Full Breakfast Plate (For IDR 65k!)
