Seminyak & Canggu’s Best Cafes/Surf Shops

Seminyak & Canggu’s Best Cafes/Surf Shops

 Seminyak is the coolest new city in Bali! This is such a western hub that has amazing restaurants, cafes, bars and the beach clubs it is most known for that are growing. The surf culture is alive, there are the best beach bars and restaurants around and an artsy creative traveler scene.  

Seminyak

Watercress Cafe

While we loved most of the places we went in Seminyak, when it came to food, this place was the best. We went for dinner and lunch and both were great. Everything we had was amazing. The open-faced sandwiches for lunch were yummy and healthy. For dinner, we got burgers, shoestring fries, and peach, rose sangria. It was all phenomenal. Their vibe is very laid back, and you are surrounded by garden plants and candle. A great place to chat, not too loud or trafficked.

Botanik Cafe

This place is the smoothie bowel king! They had too many nice cream bowls to choose from, all with different flavors and toppings. It was by far one of the best smoothie bowls in the city. Seminyak and Caangu are probably one of the most flexitarian places we’ve ever visit, especially because they partner with the yoga community and are surrounded by Hindu. As a result, this is a vegan or vegetarian’s dream island of restaurants. Also this place had the best charcoal lattes and latte art. Gut health is real on Bali people. Join the movement. I may or may not have almost fainted from lack of protein and meat due to the lack of iron.

Popular restaurants/coffee shops

  • Kynd Restaurant
  • W Hotel
  • La Plancha beach bar
  • Sea Circus (brunch restaurant)
  • Neon Palms (taco restaurant)
  • Peloton supershop
Kynd Cafe
Random Art Wall in Bali

Kynd Cafe

Kynd Cafe is one of the trendiest spots for female travelers. It’s got a super hip, feminine vibe and great vegan food and smoothie bowls. Swing by for some pictures in front of their mostly pink wall art.

Coffee Cartel

This place is a tremendous coffee place, which will put the coolest latte art on your cup. You can preselect text and design and get you’re very own specialized coffee message.

Balibola

Another great place for smoothie bowls and vegan breakfast. Come for the “Balifornia wall,” stay for the good food.

Where to stay in Seminyak

Harmony beach suite 

This place is right on the beach. It’s a little inconvenient to get to, but you get to stay literally 20 feet from the beach while paying half the price of the other hotels nearby. The place is only $30 a night for a spacious apartment style rooms. The place has a small pool too! For more information and bookings, click here.

Caangu Surf Shops

Caangu is the surfing hub with tons of surf hostels and home-stays. The number of cool surf shops in Caangu is endless. They have some great board shapers and surfboard bag makers.  The beachside street vibe is alive and electric. Some of the best shopping and boutiques are in this area. Some of the best surf shops in Bali are in Caangu.

Drifters Surf Shop

This place has a ton of quality gear. They carry all sorts of unique surf apparel and gear, even some Patagonia merch for the travelers. In addition to the cool clothes, they’ve also got cool art and surf collectible (i.e. pins, patches, stickers)

Kartel Surfboards

As you can see above, I’m sporting a shirt I got from Kartel. It’s a smaller shop focusing on boards and gear, but still has some shirts and hats. If you are looking to really surf, then check out Kartel.

Luke Studer Surf Boards

Psychedelic describes this place well. This shop will bring you back to the older school days of surfing, with vibey rounded shapes with electric colors. These shapers are definitely not the high-performance stuff of Channel Islands, but they are tremendous for surfers looking to have a good time. Boards cost roughly $500.
