Good to know
Where is the best coffee in Bali?
Canggu is the specialty-coffee heartland, with pioneering roasters like Revolver and Crate. Ubud has origin-focused roasters such as Seniman, and Seminyak and Uluwatu have strong cafés too.
Does Bali have good specialty coffee?
Yes — Bali has a deep third-wave scene, with local roasters sourcing and roasting Indonesian single-origin beans and pouring espresso and filter to a high standard.
Where can I buy Bali coffee beans to take home?
Several of the roasters below sell their own beans by the bag to take home. Ask at the counter — most roast locally and stock retail bags.
Is Bali coffee the same as Kopi Luwak?
No. The specialty scene here is about ethically sourced, locally roasted single-origin beans and skilled brewing — not the novelty Kopi Luwak (civet coffee) sold to tourists.
