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.
1. Fine By Satu Satu, Canggu
This is one of the best cafes for digital nomads in Canggu and it’s a coffee shop with a garden, swimming pool and even views over the local rice fields.
Even the outdoor open-air area has reliable Wi-Fi and outlets so you can always plug in and work (though it can get a bit warm outside).
The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the portion sizes are top-notch.

3. BWork Cafe, Canggu
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.

5. Ketala Eatery & Lifestyle
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.

7. Hungry Bird, Canggu
Noah is a beautiful place among the rice paddies of Pererenan and it has a lovely outdoor space and an air-conditioned area for coworking.
It’s rarely busy in this spot as it’s yet to become a big digital nomad hotspot and it’s super comfy with excellent Wi-Fi.
Their breakfasts are awesome and they offer big discounts in the late afternoons on baked goods too.

9. Miel Coffee Shop, Canggu
If you want to work in peace and quiet without any distractions, you’ll find Blou at the Ecozy Dijiwa Resort, ideal.
Head upstairs to their big and almost always empty air-conditioned floor with loads of plug points and great Wi-Fi.
As long as you buy something, the staff will usually let you work all day long without hassling you to buy more.

11. Sari, 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.

13. The Daun Coffee and Roastery, Canggu
Kynd is one of the best cafes to work from if you’re all about plant-based living and they have an amazing vegan menu.
The place itself is one of the most Instagram-worthy cafes on the island and you’re bound to love their unique vibe.
The Wi-Fi is OK and so is the coffee, but for most people, this place is all about the way it feels.

16. Coffee Cartel, Seminyak
Kim Soo is an interior design specialist and one of the most desirable on the island.
The onsite cafe is as beautiful as you’d expect it to be. The Wi-Fi is very fast and this spot doesn’t get too many digital nomads.
Thus, you can take your time and enjoy the vibe and the tasty coffee.

18. The Corner House, Seminyak
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.

20. Wyah Art & Creative Space, 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.

22. Keliki Coffee Shop, 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.

24. Monsieur Spoon, Ubud
You will need to wander through some rice paddies to get to Pukako but it’s worth the effort.
It’s a very pleasant place to work in the early part of the day and the coffee is very reasonably priced.

26. Tucky, Ubud
This place in South Ubud is really first-rate and it sits in the grounds of a traditional local home and you can enjoy your drinks in the courtyard as well as inside the coffee shop.
It’s a lovely place to sit and contemplate as you create your masterwork.

28. Lazy Cats Cafe, Ubud
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.

30. Blue Earth Village, Amed
This spot has an incredible yoga shala where you can meditate and flex to your heart’s content.
The working area is completely free, has super Wi-Fi and the food is even better. You also get an incredible view of Mount Agung from here.

31. Amed Espresso, Amed
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.

32. Good Stuff, 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.

34. Oneway Espresso, Amed
This is the busiest cafe in town and that’s because they keep winning awards for latte art.
The food here is incredible and the stylish interior design is amazing. We can’t recommend Oneway enough. It’s a great spot to spend a day working.
