my fav cafe in bali! | AKASA SPECIALTY COFFEE
Definitely one of our fav spots in Bali!
📍Akasa Specialty Coffee, Kintamani
So I actually thought it was near Ubud so we planned to go after ATV (at Ubud) but it was actually a 1-1.5hour drive…. but sooo worth! I’ve been seeing reviews of Akasa on instagram and tiktok and always wanted to go, the view was truly insane and we took so many pics….😆
🗻Ambience
- the weather was around 15 degrees and pretty chilly, but they gave us blankets!
- there are 3 levels and we sat at the sofa right at the top which was a really good spot because no minimum spend and it wasn’t as cold! (take not that there’s a minimum spend for the nests - in slide 5)
- we really just CHILLED and yapped for 2.5 hours, i could sit here all day honestly… it’s so peaceful and weather was perfect (would recommend bringing a sweater tho!)
- view was BREATHTAKING
☕️ Beverages
- their hot chocolate was amazing… we ordered another one after! (5/5)
- signature coffee was not bad, there are actually fruits in it so it was a little sweet for us so not the biggest fan of it (2.5/5)
🍴Food
- we got their curly fries (never goes wrong) and ordered another after too lol (5/5)
- we got their salmon carbonara and another pasta (sorry no pics and i forgot what it was…) but honestly it was pretty mid (3/5)
💰 Price
- we spent $31.68 total on 3 drinks, 2 mains and 2 sides so it’s really super worth

If you’re planning a visit to Akasa Specialty Coffee, here are a few tips from my experience to help you make the most of your trip. First, don’t be deceived by the location — it’s about a 1 to 1.5-hour drive from Ubud, so plan your day accordingly to allow ample time to enjoy the cafe without rushing. The drive itself is scenic and adds to the overall adventure. When you arrive, I highly recommend sitting on the top level where the sofas are located. This area doesn't have a minimum spend requirement and is slightly warmer, which is a relief given the chilly 15-degree weather. They even provide blankets to keep you cozy, which really helped create a relaxing atmosphere. The view from up here is truly spectacular and perfect for taking lots of pictures or just soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The menu is great for both coffee lovers and foodies. Their hot chocolate is incredibly rich and a definite highlight, worthy of ordering seconds. If you’re curious about their signature coffee, it includes actual fruits, which gives it a unique, slightly sweet flavour that might not be for everyone but is definitely interesting to try. For food, the curly fries were a hit and worth repeating. The pasta dishes like the salmon carbonara were decent but not the main attraction here — the ambiance and drinks steal the show. Pricing is very reasonable too; for three drinks, two main dishes, and two sides, we spent just over $30, making it a great value for the whole experience. Whether you’re on a Bali itinerary nearby or willing to take the drive, Akasa Specialty Coffee is a gem that offers a peaceful retreat with amazing weather, comfy seating, and stunning mountain views. Just remember to bring a sweater! Overall, Akasa Cafe is perfect for those who want to combine great coffee with a memorable Bali setting far from the usual tourist crowds. It’s an ideal spot to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy some quiet time amidst nature’s beauty.
