If you’re looking for the best cafes to work from here in Bali, then we’ve got you covered.
Our team went out to find the places where you can get your head down and work, where the staff don’t mind the laptops and the background music is conducive to a state of constant flow rather than distracting.
They came up with a list of the 34 best cafes in Bali for digital nomads, remote workers and others to enjoy instead of shelling out for a co-working space.
34 Laptop Friendly Cafes In Bali
All the cafes on this list have been chosen for their proximity to popular digital nomad hotspots (Canggu, Seminyak, Ubud and up and coming Amed).
However, they all have fantastic coffee and tick all the boxes for working from too.
There are countless cafes offering amazing coffee culture here on the island but it’s a digital nomad’s dream to find somewhere with ample space to work, power outlets, reliable Wi-Fi and great coffee.
These are the places that can get your creative juices flowing and become a go-to spot for digital nomads seeking the perfect hidden gem of a cafe to get productive in.
Bistro C, Canggu

Fine By Satu Satu, Canggu
This pleasant cafe on Batu Bolong is usually super quiet and it has an upstairs area which has become very popular with the local nomad scene.
Unlike some other cafes in Bali, this cafe offers great air conditioning and the top floor is very cool.
However, you may find that it’s easier to get constant access to their fast Wi-Fi downstairs.

Tribal, Pererenan
Yema Kitchen is a cafe tucked away from the main Canggu streets in a lush corner. Plenty of healthy choices from vegan breakfast and salads to vegetarian pasta, wraps, and main dishes.
For a non-vegetarian restaurant, they have a very large and versatile vegetable-based menu.
Fresh juices, healthy shots, healing, and artisanal teas make a great addition.

Ketala Eatery & Lifestyle
This is one of the best cafes to work from in Canggu because it’s also one of the best hostels to work from.
Tribal is all about digital nomad convenience and you can set up a laptop stand on the tables here and nobody will care.
However, we would note that there’s no air conditioning and while the breeze is often cooling enough, sometimes it’s a bit too warm for work.

Boheme, Canggu
Boheme is part of the Shore Amora Hotel and that hotel is designed specifically to provide facilities to digital nomads.
Thus, this is one of the best cafes to work from on the island by a mile. The big windows ensure that there’s a lot of lovely natural light to work by and it’s always quiet inside.
You can use their infinity pool (they’ll even throw in a towel) if you eat here, but be warned it’s a bit pricey.

Hungry Bird is one of the best cafes to work from if you love coffee and this coffee shop has award-winning baristas.
It’s not the biggest environment to work from, but there’s no problem setting up a laptop here.
It’s a very affordable place and they even provide free drinking water, but we should warn you that when it gets busy, the internet can start to drop in and out.

Miel Coffee Shop, Canggu
Miel is quite unique in that you can work in an outdoor-style environment but without losing access to the air conditioning.
The coffee at this coffee shop is both good and strong and you should be careful about drinking too much, too quickly.
We’re big fans of the menu here, and we can never resist their snacks which are super tasty. Not every table has a plug point but there are plenty of tables with power plugs.

Sari, Canggu
This three-floor digital nomad cafe is a wonderful place to work if you’re near Batu Bolong Beach and in need of one of the best cafes to work in Canggu.
It’s a little confusing to get around inside on your first visit and we’d recommend that you take some time to explore before you get seated.
They have loads of power points but you may have to hunt for them as they’ve installed many of them out of sight.

Zin Cafe, Canggu
Zin Cafe was one of the first places to be laptop-friendly in Bali and it’s a very comfortable place to work.
You’re expected to go upstairs or out the back if you want to work as the front room is for socializing.
There are always plugs available and the air conditioning is first-rate too. This coffee shop is a bit more expensive, but that’s because they roast their own beans here.

The Daun Coffee and Roastery, Canggu
The Daun is an ideal spot for remote work and it’s very popular with foodies as it has a great reputation for delicious food.
They source only local coffee beans for their coffee too and it’s very reasonably priced.
Please go upstairs to work though, as laptops are banned on the ground floor as they make the place too busy otherwise.

Crate Cafe, Canggu
Crate Cafe is one of our favourite spots as it opens very early in the morning when almost nowhere else does.
They have amazing deals on their tasty breakfasts too at this time of day which makes it very good value.
The only downside is that the Wi-Fi is a little slow and you may find that at busy periods, it slows down even more.

The Corner House, Seminyak
You don’t want to come to The Corner House to work in the evenings as it turns into a buzzing pub at that time but it’s fine during the rest of the day.
Whether you want lunch, breakfast or dinner, you’re welcome to bring your laptop and get working.
Their European-style cuisine is delicious and great value for money.

Uptodate, Ubud
Uptodate is a bit off the beaten track and that’s why w love it so much. Unlike most cafes in Ubud, you can guarantee to get good seats and to have the fast WiFi all to yourself.
They have plugs everywhere and there’s absolutely no traffic noise. Just remember that they have live music in the evenings, though.

Wyah Art & Creative Space, Ubud
Wyah is one of the most beautiful spaces that we’ve ever worked from and their great WiFi makes it the perfect place for getting things done.
They have amazing coffee which really refreshes, but we confess the food isn’t the best in town and if you’re all about good food, you might opt for somewhere else.

Rusters, Ubud
This is a very trendy place with a vibrant atmosphere and an open-air section with a view of the rice fields.
However, if you can find a table with a plug (and not all of them do) it’s a lovely spot for working from. It gets a bit busy at mealtimes, though.

Keliki Coffee Shop, Ubud
Keliki is away from the busy city centre of Ubud and it’s a hidden gem that’s bound to keep a nomad happy.

Kopi Pangeran, Ubud
You may need to search for this place as it’s a little hard to see from the main road – it’s a door that looks like it goes into a hole in the wall.
If you get inside, you’ll find an amazing gram-worthy location that is completely cut off from the noise of the city. The coffee is fabulous too.

Monsieur spoon, Ubud
This Balinese coffee chain is quite famous but somehow, Monsieur Spoon in Ubud is rarely packed out and is very laptop-friendly.
The Wi-Fi is among the fastest in the city and the menu is tasty and has a positive impact on the experience of working at Monsieur Spoon.

Cafe People Point, Amed
They have fast Wi-Fi and excellent air-conditioning at this Czech-owned cafe with amazing food.
However, it’s a little more expensive than some of the other spots in Amed though we’d say if you’re in Lipah Bay, it’s worth it.

We think the coffee at this thoughtfully designed cafe is amazing and the friendly staff are always helpful.
However, it does turn into a bar in the late afternoon and it starts to get noisy at that point. So, come early if you need to concentrate.

MD Amed, Amed
This locally owned place has great AC and it’s rarely busy so you can rely on it being quiet (sometimes too quiet, in fact, but they will play background music if you ask).
The only downside here is you need to choose your seats carefully as they can be uncomfortable.
