Local Bakery Tips

If you’re serious about bread in Bali, try to time your bakery runs early in the morning. Many places bake fresh overnight and open before 7 a.m., so arriving early means snagging the freshest loaves and morning pastries.

Also, don’t overlook the sweet spots off the main tourist routes, like in Sanur or even quieter spots around Ubud. There’s a lovely bakery called Seniman Bakery in Ubud that blends art and baking and does incredible coffee-bread pairings. Finally, Bali’s climate can make croissants sweat quickly, so if you buy some, enjoy them fast or pop them in a toaster before you dig in.
