Kakiang Bakery & Cafe

Skip the overhyped tourist traps. Ubud’s long-term expats consistently point their friends toward this unassuming bakery for a proper sugar fix. Dense, flavor-packed curry bread. Impossibly fluffy Nutella donuts. House-made roti that hits the spot, all without the inflated price tag. It’s a totally santai space. Think cozy corners, solid WiFi, and an easygoing breakfast crowd tearing into fresh koppe-pan sandwiches. While a few of the more elaborate chilled cakes divide opinions, the core baked goods and savory plates—like an unexpected knockout chicken parmigiana—are undeniable. Seasoned travelers know this is the reliable, wallet-friendly anchor for morning coffee or late-afternoon cravings.
