Welcome to Canggu, a tucked away surfer town on the west side of Bali, a little north of Seminyak. It’s a special place, some would say the home of good vibes, quality cafes, and the best surf one could ask for. 

When you imagine Canggu, you can feel the slight breeze through your hair and the sweet taste of Acai bowls lingering. The most magical part is that even though the island is now internationally known, Canggu doesn’t hit the spotlight anywhere close to its big sister cities Ubud, Kuta, and Seminyak. 

Canggu is still our little secret, and we’re so excited for you to experience what we love so much about our home. Below we list our all our must-do’s while visiting Canggu!

Instaworthy Cafes

Crate Café

Using social media, Crate Café has singlehandedly made themselves stand out of the sea of cafés in town by being the most Instagram-able café in Canggu! 

With deliciously oversized portions of smoothie bowls, scrambled eggs, and the yummiest French toast you’ll ever had, you’ll be wanting to order everything on the menu! 

With phenomenal breezy morning vibes, Crate Café is your hot spot to be for the best brunch in town! With crowds coming in early, don’t be surprised if you find the line going out the door!

Milk & Madu

Number one in our hearts for their hearty and healthy meals, Milk & Madu is one café we can’t recommend enough. 

Enjoyed by everyone, this open-air neighborhood café is an especially great spot for family and friends’ get-togethers as it has its own children’s play section! With tables being busy throughout the day, you won’t be disappointed with any meal you chose to have! 

We highly recommend coming in for their 2-for-1 pizzas on Sunday or their mac and cheese any day of the week!

Restaurants

Quince Cafe

It’s not a hype, it’s definitely not an Instagram trend. Arrive at Quince for a foodie experience that will leave you surprisingly overwhelmed from the perfect flavor combination you were not expecting. 

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Berawa (One of Canggu’s neighborhoods), this family-run café crafts together the perfect artisanal dishes. With it’s fashionable presentation it pushes the boundaries further than any standard avocado toast. 

As many struggle to decide what to order as each dish is a must try, we highly recommend their Polenta Pancakes paired with a Dirty Chai for brunch or lunch!
