Here’s a guide to the best Kopitiam spots in Bali you’ll want to keep on your radar in 2025.
ChewChew Kopitiam Canai Claypot
For something you won’t find anywhere else on the island, ChewChew is the star. Their specialty is the canai claypot, where roti canai is cooked inside a claypot until it’s soft, moist, and full of flavor. Pair it with their milky, balanced teh tarik and you’re golden. The menu also features crowd-pleasers like nasi goreng that guests swear is the best they’ve had in Bali. The atmosphere is tidy and welcoming, and the owner Chelsea is known for her warmth and hospitality. No wonder people keep coming back multiple times during their trips.

Ka Fei Tien Kopitiam
For those who miss the vibe of Jakarta kopitiams, Ka Fei Tien is a lifesaver in Bali.

Locals even joke that they hope a branch opens closer to Dwi Sri so they don’t have to travel as far.

NAN Kopitiam
This new kid on the block in Denpasar is quickly turning heads. The red tables make for perfect food photos, but the real highlight is what’s served on them.

RASA Kopitiam
Tucked along the roadside in Jimbaran, RASA Kopitiam is a little gem with big heart. The warm ambience comes not only from the friendly staff but also from the furry friends that roam around, including the owner’s cats and a dog or two.

Drinks like hot kopi tarik round off the experience, although best enjoyed while still warm. Space is a bit limited, but that only adds to its intimate charm.
