Seniman Coffee: Ubud’s Creative Caffeine Hub
A Seat for Serious Coffee Drinkers
Slip into a rocking chair—yes, they’re an in‑house design piece—and you’ll quickly notice Seniman is far more than another Ubud café. Part roastery, part workshop venue, and part design statement, it anchors a quiet stretch just off the main roads. Hours vary slightly by source (most list daily from about 07:30 to 22:00/22:30), so check ahead if you’re timing an early pour‑over or nightcap espresso martini.
From Bean to Flight
The draw is the sheer range of Indonesian single‑origin coffees: Bali Karana, Flores, Toraja, Aceh Gayo, Papua Wamena. A 3‑cup tasting flight lets you compare, while “Wild Side” and “Wild Erness” signature drinks mix cold brew with coconut, honey or white‑chocolate cream. Reviewers on Google in 2024 praised nitro options, Japanese V60s, and Affogatos served with multiple components.
Plates, Pastries and Pairings
There’s more than coffee. House‑baked croissants, sausage rolls, kouign amann and lemon pound cake recur in traveller accounts. Food tips skew to the savoury—fish congee, Asian chicken salad, sesame handmade noodles—alongside breakfast staples like avocado toast. Portions are described as generous; price points hover above warung levels but are deemed fair for the quality.
Spaces to Linger
Interiors mix artistic touches with comfortable semi‑outdoor corners. There’s air‑conditioned seating, a breezy terrace, and a sister shop across the street for beans, merchandise, and the award‑winning book Bali Coffee: Origin’s New Wave. Wi‑Fi is generally strong; digital nomads appreciate the big communal table with power outlets, though a few note limited plugs elsewhere.
Service and Small Gestures
Staff are routinely described as warm, informed, and attentive. Many mention a small biscuit arriving with every drink, or being invited to smell a pinch of the ground beans before tasting. Minor hiccups surface—occasional delays, a forgotten dish—but reviewers note quick apologies or complimentary snacks.
Workshops and Take‑Homes
Classes in cupping, latte art and home brewing can be booked ahead, with amateur workshops sometimes priced around IDR 450k. Beans and design objects ship internationally via their online store, but most visitors leave with at least one bag tucked in their daypack.
Verdict
For travellers who care about what’s in their cup and enjoy an immersive, design‑driven environment, Seniman Coffee Studio is one of Ubud’s most rewarding stops—linger for a flight, a pastry, and the buzz of shared enthusiasm.
