Work-Friendly Cafes in Canggu

Where Work Meets Pleasure: Canggu’s Coolest Work Cafes

ZIN CAFE :If you’re a digital nomad or just someone seeking a fantastic place to work in Canggu, Zin Cafe is a true gem. Unlike other co-working spaces in Bali that come with a hefty price tag, Zin Cafe offers a unique advantage—it’s entirely free. While places like Tropical Nomad and BWork charge rates upwards of 3 million IDR, Zin Cafe lets you work without breaking the bank. What’s even more appealing is its extended operating hours, staying open until 9 pm on weekdays, catering perfectly to those on European work schedules.

Personally, I adore Zin Cafe for its expansive open-air setting and contemporary tropical-themed design, creating a welcoming atmosphere that’s conducive to productivity. The abundance of power outlets and high-speed internet adds to the appeal, ensuring a seamless work experience. With multiple work areas, finding a spot is never a hassle. The large communal table at the back is especially handy for meetings, and if you crave a quiet zone, they have a designated room without music.

Coffee Rating: 8/10
Noise Level: Low
Wifi Speeds: Fast
Location: Jl. Nelayan No.78F, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali
Operating Hours :Daily, 8-9pm

SAMM’S FARM COFFEE :A recent addition to the Canggu scene, is a newcomer-friendly establishment. Here, you can savor delightful coffee, featuring not only classic cappuccinos but also unique options like kombucha coffee (fermented coffee).

While the ambiance is tastefully adorned and the Wi-Fi functions seamlessly, it’s worth noting that certain amenities are still in the pipeline. Air conditioning and a dedicated workstation with printers are anticipated in the near future but weren’t available during our visit.

The coffeehouse boasts reasonable pricing for its quality brews, earning a commendable 9/10 in the coffee category. However, it’s essential to consider that the seating may not be the most ergonomic, making it suitable for shorter periods rather than extended work sessions due to potential discomfort for your back.

Here’s a breakdown of Samm’s Farm Coffee:

Coffee Rating: 9/10
Noise Level: Low
Wifi Speeds: 9/10
Location: Jl. Canggu Padang Linjong No.58, Canggu.
Operating Hours :Daily, 8-9pm
