Kue also does an afternoon tea every day from 2:00PM – 5:30PM with a choice of decadent chocolates and pastries and locally grown coffee and herbal teas.
Yellow Flower Cafe
Yellow Flower Café is located in scenic Campuhan, and is a bit of a trek to get to, as you have to go up the steep Campuhan steps and then swing a right down a tiny path through lush jungle. But it’s worth the hike for the fabulous organic food and amazing views along the way. Popular menu items include healthy Balinese and Indonesian dishes, homemade yoghurt and pancakes and a divine dairy-free, raw chocolate cheesecake.
Juice Ja Cafe
The small but appetising menu at Juice Ja is a mix of healthy dishes made with homegrown, organic ingredients straight from the owners’ garden.

The freshly squeezed juices are a big hit here, as are the organic lattes and cappuccinos. In addition, this is one of the only places in Ubud you can find wheatgrass shots.
