Kafe Kawi hands down best views. The food is good. The juices are good and the fried bananas the best. The staff is really nice and the place is just a great location. The kafe has a resident cat, born in the temple and now looked after really well by the kafe staff, Sita is her name and she is really sweet.

Absolute vibes! The cafe is located at the entrance to the temple but you can tell the guides you just want to go here. The staff was so lovely, the atmosphere ultra relaxed, cute pets around as well. We just had a coffee and a tea, but would come back :)

Favorite place!! We decided to have lunch before exploring the temple nearby and it was awesome. The sky was clear and we enjoyed our meals with a view on Mt. Agung, the highest mountain on Bali. Prices were not expensive at all.

Tiny cafe, had an Ice latte here, in the morning very quiet place with only serene sounds of birds and wind. Wonderful place to grab a coffee before or after visiting the temple
