Ricotta Pancakes at HUT Bali

Light and airy, yet still filling — a pancake built for breakfast or brunch.

HUT Bali sits just off Seminyak's main street, in a spot formerly known as Shelter.

The interior and menu carry over from the Shelter days — Shelter itself has since moved to Pererenan, so this feels like its sister café.

The café is upstairs, built from bamboo and filled with greenery — a genuinely relaxing space.

Bamboo architecture is beautiful but high-maintenance, so it's become genuinely rare these days. It's exactly what gives this Seminyak spot such a countryside feel.

Ricotta Pancakes

Three thick layers made with ricotta give it a slightly chewy texture, and the batter itself is barely sweet. The caramelized banana, nuts, and maple syrup combo is excellent, and it comes with vanilla ice cream too.

Matahari Pancakes at Good Mantra

Passion fruit and coconut cream come together for a pancake that's pure tropical Bali.

Next up is Good Mantra, a vegan and vegetarian-friendly café in Canggu.

It's close to Berawa Beach in Canggu, with accommodation available right above the café.

Matahari Pancakes

Matahari means "sun" in Indonesian, and the yellow of the passion fruit certainly fits. Topped with tangy passion fruit compote, coconut cream, and coconut ice cream, it's a refreshing, sweet-tart pancake that feels quintessentially Bali.

This photo turned out a bit chaotic, honestly

The batter itself is thin and chewy — it tasted like it might include cassava flour alongside the wheat.

The coconut cream isn't overly sweet either, so it's easy to finish without getting sick of it.

▼Great for solo travelers and long stays

The second and third floors of Good Mantra function as guest rooms. Beds are king-size by default, but can reportedly be switched to twin.

The toilet and shower have separate doors, so it should work fine even for two people sharing. Rates vary by season, but rooms run around $25 to $45 a night.

Buttermilk Hotcakes at Revolver

Moist, thick, and wonderfully chewy — this pancake is hard to resist.

Revolver is a popular café known for its excellent food, with three locations: Seminyak, Canggu, and the airport's domestic terminal.

Here we're covering the Buttermilk Hotcakes from the Seminyak branch.

YUKI

I really can't recommend this enough.

Revolver is popular enough to draw lines at lunchtime, and it's just as well known for its savory food as its sweets.

The interior sets Revolver apart from Bali's typical café look, and that's part of the appeal — it stays busy day after day.

Buttermilk Hotcakes

The thick batter has a chewy bite, and the salty crispy bacon paired with sweet maple syrup is fantastic. The fried egg comes with a perfect runny yolk for mixing into the pancake.

▼Works well for a solo dinner too

Beyond breakfast items like hotcakes, there's plenty on the dinner menu too — think chicken katsu loaded with vegetables or rice salads, satisfying enough as a single dish.

Strawberry Crumble Pancakes at BRUNCH CLUB

A meringue-topped, melt-in-your-mouth pancake for days when you want something dessert-like.

Strawberry Crumble Pancake — from 70,000 IDR

Next is BRUNCH CLUB — practically synonymous with pancakes in Bali.

We're featuring the Legian branch here, though there are also locations in Canggu's Berawa and Pererenan.

Strawberry Crumble Pancake

BRUNCH CLUB offers more than ten pancake varieties. This Strawberry Crumble comes piled high with strawberries, crumble, and honey. You can also choose between two or three layers, which is a nice touch if you don't want to overdo it.

YUKI

The tartness of the strawberries plays so well with the honey.

BRUNCH CLUB's whole concept is all-day brunch, so don't miss the generous menu — sweet or savory, there's plenty to dig into.

Fluffy Hotcakes at Dua Umalas

A brown pancake made with coconut sugar — satisfying in both looks and substance.

Last up is the hotcake from Dua Umalas, a warung that feels more like a café.

Alongside classic Indonesian dishes, Dua Umalas stands out for its selection of salads.

YUKI

Perfect for when you're craving something other than Indonesian food — or want your nasi campur in a nicer setting.

Fluffy Hotcake

Dua Umalas's hotcake is moist and thick, almost like castella sponge cake. It's not overly sweet, so I always end up piling on the whipped cream. The tangy strawberry-blueberry sauce pairs beautifully too.

Dua Umalas Hotcake

Great Value.

Top-tier ★

Many Bali residents treat Dua Umalas like their neighborhood canteen, drawn in by the range of dishes and generous fresh vegetables. Well worth a visit.

Blueberry Pancakes at 7AM Bakers

A simple batter paired with cream and blueberry sauce — a lightly sweet pancake.

7AM Bakers has expanded rapidly across Bali in recent years. Beyond the original Umalas location, there are now branches in Ubud, Pererenan, and more.

Blueberry Pancakes

Everything on 7AM Bakers' menu is delicious and beautifully presented, and this pancake is no exception. Plump blueberries, unsweetened ricotta, and maple syrup strike just the right balance — not too sweet.
