Suka Espresso

Down on the Bukit peninsula, where the island tips toward the Uluwatu cliffs and surf breaks, Suka Espresso is the coffee anchor everyone ends up at. It's grown into one of the area's busiest cafés for good reason: dependable small-batch espresso, a big, satisfying all-day menu, and an easy, social atmosphere that suits the post-surf crowd.

This is a buzzy, fill-up-and-hang-out kind of place rather than a hushed brew bar — but the coffee holds its own, with well-pulled espresso and milk drinks that stand out in a part of Bali where good specialty is harder to find. Add outdoor seating and a steady stream of regulars, and Suka becomes the natural meeting point for Uluwatu mornings. If you're coffee-hunting on the Bukit, this is where to start.
