Bali Buda Ubud

Operating quietly opposite the sacred temple trees of Jalan Jembawan since 1994, Bali Buda is universally recognized as the pioneering mother-ship of Bali's organic, chemical-free culinary movement. Long before superfoods became a global buzzword, founder Brenda Ritchmond was baking daily sourdough loaves and sourcing unsprayed vegetables directly from highland farming co-ops. The cafe exudes an earthy, comforting authenticity with warm timber booths, chalkboard menus, and the intoxicating scent of freshly baked cinnamon rolls wafting from the bakery counters.

The kitchen crafts deeply nourishing comfort food that leaves you feeling invigorated. The avocado sourdough tartine showcases hearty house-fermented bread topped with creamy volcanic soil avocados and pasture-raised eggs, while lunch highlights include raw cashew nut lasagna and comforting bowls of Ayurvedic kitchari. Don't leave without picking up fresh bakery items, coconut macaroons, and organic honey from their adjoining apothecary grocery. It is the perfect low-key morning sanctuary before 10:00.
