OUR TEAM
Our fun and friendly team at KAFE has grown to a large family of around 20 over the years. Our Head Chef, Adi and Manager, Franky have been with KAFE for almost 10 years and are constantly on the look out for new ways to improve our healthy drinks and dishes at KAFE.
KAFE is a dog friendly restaurant and we have a few of our own dogs, including Buleleng. He is very old and sadly blind, so we ask that you do not pet him as he can bite with unfamiliar pats from strangers.

“I felt at home here!”
Loved this place so much we went every day. The wide range of food and drink is excellent. We had two picky kids and they ate more food here than anywhere else, even ordered seconds. My favourite is the red rice nasi goreng, but there are so many yummy foods, you are spoilt for choice. The chairs are comfy, the atmosphere is great and we didn't feel under any pressure to eat and leave ... so we spent many happy hours having juices, beers, coffee - food. Clean toilets, good free wifi and good prices.“KAFE is an Ubud institution!”
Kafe is a super restaurant. Not only is the food fantastic, healthy and dependable, but the staff is fantastic! Also, it's sort of like Cheers - everyone there knows each other and you're bound to run into familiar faces. Don't be surprised if you soon become a regular 🙂“A must!”
Oh Kafe, I dream about your mezze plate. I stayed in Ubud for a month and Kafe quickly became one of my staples for all meals. The fresh juices were fantastic (highly recommend the one with apple and ginger, energy something), the parmesan pesto eggs were always a home run, and the mezze plate...oh the mezze plate. I could eat that feta for literally every meal. Coming back in Feb and bringing friends to experience it! - pmaclennan, San Francisco USA, Visited October 2017Chased down the stairs from the bathroom by a big dog!!
Our favorite bad review:"The food was quite nice, and the coffee was also pretty good. However! When I finished my meal I needed to use the restroom. On my way back from the bathroom, a large dog literally came charging at me and chased me down the stairs. I am very phobic of dogs so naturally I was extremely upset. I couldn't contain my fear and (very embarrassingly) burst into tears. The 3-4 staff members standing around all burst out laughing at me. To be fair, I did get a half-hearted "sorry, sorry" through the giggles. I will NOT be going back!"
