1. Revolver, Jl Kayu Aya No 3 Oberoi Seminyak, +62 361 788 4968 

This small funky little space is certainly off the beaten track. Located at the back of ‘This Is A Love Song’ concept store on Jl Oberoi you will be impressed with what we think is the best cup of coffee on the island. Small but playful yummy breakfast menu, we love their ‘double barrel’.

2. Sisterfields, Jl Kayu Cendana, No.7, Oberoi, Seminyak, +62 361 9050507 

HOT NEW CAFÉ with an yummy food and cute decor. This Melbournean style cafe with the oh-so-chic decor is the coolest new boutique in Seminyak. Showcasing fresh pastries, salads and sandwiches along side an all day breakfast/lunch menu. Everything on the menu is exceptional including the coffee.
