Hey there! If you’re ever in Canggu, Bali, you absolutely have to check out Basic Canggu. Seriously, this place is a gem! Located at Jl. Nelayan No. 11, it’s got everything you could want in a cafe. The food? A solid 5.0/5.0. The service? Yup, another 5.0/5.0. And the atmosphere? You guessed it, 5.0/5.0! It’s the perfect spot for a chill lunch or brunch, with prices ranging from Rp75,000-100,000 per person for dine-in and Rp125,000-150,000 for takeout.

I decided to try a few things from the menu, including the Make Your Own Sandwich, Crepes Pancakes, and Egg Benedict. Let me tell you, everything was delicious! I even came across a review that said, “One of my favorite restaurants. Really good custom sandwich and not cheap on ingredients. Amazing thanks for this delicious food. Absolutely delicious! Great flavors. Good portions.” And I couldn’t agree more!

Another visitor raved, “THE BEST sandwich I’ve ever had! Try the chicken sanders and apple-carrot-orange juice mix. I’d come here every day, so tasty!” I mean, who wouldn’t want to eat here every day with reviews like that?

What I loved most was the vibe of the place. It’s probably the most positive vibes cafe in the area. It’s a small stall, but it’s super nice. The barista was kind and friendly, and even though I was there until 11 PM, the service was still top-notch! They close late at 1 AM, which is awesome if you’re looking for a late-night bite.

And let’s not forget about the coffee! One reviewer mentioned, “Small and cozy cafe by the roadside. They have really huge scones and muffins, so big that I’ve never seen them anywhere else before. Their coffee with oat milk is rich and flavorful. Coffee is not too acidic – just the way I like it.” Sounds perfect, right?

Overall, Basic Canggu is a nice place to be, even if it gets a bit noisy like everywhere else. The coffee tastes great, and the owner, Jan, is such a kind person. Plus, they have protein smoothies if you’re looking for something healthy!

I can’t wait to go back to Basic Canggu the next time I’m in Bali. It’s definitely a must-visit!
