The 11 best free coworking locations and work-friendly cafés in Canggu & Berawa on Bali!

Far above all other cafés, Zin Cafe is number one in locations where you can work well in Canggu. This large restaurant has a special “work” zone, where you can work quietly: without loud music and sounds from the kitchen.

Everyone in this workspace has the same mindset, creating a super productive atmosphere! The only drawback is that there is no air conditioning. On a warm day, you will sweat. So, make use of the fans they provide to keep you focused on your work!

Wi-Fi is free, just like water, you can refill your bottle or glass as often as you like. The food is really delicious. The dishes are more expensive than in other places (a dish costs between 90 and 120 IDR, € 6- € 8). But are so tasty that this is more than worth the money. They also roast and blend their own coffee and you can taste this! As a result, you get the perfect caffeine boost!

Samm’s Farm Coffee is a brand-new work-friendly in the middle of Canggu. You drink delicious coffee here, and in addition to the standard cappuccino, special variations such as kombucha coffee (fermented coffee) are served!

There will be air conditioning and a special workstation with printers coming soon. This was not yet installed when we were here.

The Wi-Fi works well, and the case is nicely decorated. The only drawback to a day at Samm’s Farm Coffee is that the chairs are not very ergonomic. Great for half a day, but working here all day is not good for your back.

We can be found several times a week at Monsieur Spoon. This franchise is located in different places in Bali. Anyway, we get all our bread here, because the baguette and croissants are fantastic! We are talking about this specific Monsieur Spoon location, just outside Canggu, is also a good place for working.

Because of the location of this Monsieur Spoon, it is often nice and quiet here, perfect when you need to concentrate. They also have air conditioning, however, it is not always on.

There are a few sockets, especially at the high table in the back corner where we usually sit.

Because this Monsieur Spoon location is close to our gym (Victory Fitness), we often start working here early in the morning. After a few hours of work, it’s time for a workout and then lunch!

Food: 9/10, the bread from Monsieur Spoon is great!
Coffee: 8/10
Air conditioning: yes but not always on.
Wi-Fi: 7/10, sometimes drops out
Price level: 7/10, not so cheap

Seats: 8/10 are pretty good.

The small restaurant Dharma has a fresh appearance. Wi-Fi is good and the staff is nice. The coffee, however, was a bit disappointing, but the prices are not very high.

We were sitting on the high chairs by the window for a few hours. Lovely in the air conditioning while we overlooked the street. There are enough sockets and if it is not full (which does not often happen), this is a great quiet place to work.

Seats: 7/10 the high seats at the window are the best!

Near Echo Beach, opposite the expensive co-working space DoJo, you will find the nicely decorated Alter Ego. Here you can work for free if you order a drink of course.

It feels like the lobby of a fancy hotel, but it really is just a restaurant. On the tables, you mainly see laptops, with a coconut or falafel wrap next to them. The high windows provide enough light and the music is nice. From here you walk to the beach in two minutes, the perfect break after some hours of hard work.

There is air conditioning and that makes it a nicer place to work than DoJo, which is a paid co-working spot. The only drawback of Alter Ego is the fact that the Wi-Fi sometimes fails.

Food: 9/10the falafel wrap is tasty!
Coffee: 8/10, just right!
Air conditioning: yes!
Wi-Fi: 7/10, Wi-Fi sometimes drops out
Price level: 7/10, not cheap, not expensive.
Vibe: 8/10, many people are working here.
Chairs: 6/10 here is certainly improvement possible. The tables are just too low for the corresponding chairs.

Rise and Shine is a nice open restaurant with nice music. The atmosphere is cosy but not necessarily work-minded and work-proof. Most people come for a nice breakfast in the sun. Wi-Fi works well here, the service is nice and the tables are large enough for your laptop. There are also a number of electrical outlets.

For us, Rise and Shine is a nice place to work, but not the place where you can get to work full of concentration. For that, there are too many people who come for breakfast and lunch. Because the restaurant is open and on a busy street, there is a lot of background noise.

Wi-Fi: 8/10
Price level: 8/10, the coffee is not expensive, but smoothies are relatively pricey.

This brand new pink restaurant is the perfect work-proof hotspot. The food is Moroccan, the space bright and nicely decorated. There is quiet background music and the wifi works well! The big advantage of this workplace in the middle of Canggu is the air conditioning! This works perfectly, a good place to escape the heat of Canggu and to concentrate on your laptop! There are a few sockets, but not at every table.

Perhaps the best thing about this place is the delicious food! A different cuisine (we didn’t have a Moroccan in Bali yet!), and the chefs turn every dish into a party. Looking for anything which isn’t good about this place? Well, a very small thing, but the extractor in the kitchen does not work optimally.

The only days that you can’t play the digital nomad in this cafe in Canggu are Wednesday and Sunday: on these days Lila Kozina is closed.

Food: hummus, couscous, vegetarian spring rolls: all delicious!
Coffee: 8/10, very tasty
Air conditioning: yes!
Wifi: 9/10
Price level: 7/10, the prices are relatively high (almost three euros for a coffee)
Vibe: 8/10, it is a quiet place, with both eaters and people at work
Chairs: 8/10 the sofas have so many cushions that you can sit the way you want!

This newcomer is the ultimate dream of a digital nomad. It is a combination of a coworking space, living room and café! This place is full of design! Therefore, the best coworking place for a full day of hard work!

Thanks to the relaxing music, spacious sofas, seats and tables and of course the nice air conditioning, Cafe … Workecht is my favourite place to work in Berawa! Here I can concentrate for a whole day sipping on a delicious coffee.

The atmosphere is perfect, everyone here is working and communicates with each other in a soft tone. If this shop was opened in Canggu, it would have beaten café Zin as work-proof place!

In the back of the room, there are some desks with ergonomic chairs and extra screens. These are paid coworking places. The only thing Cafe … Work is not perfect at is the Wi-Fi. Especially when there are many people working, the Wi-Fi sometimes fails.

Food: not applicable (there are only croissants)
Coffee: 9/10

Sunny Cafe is a nice restaurant in Berawa. The decor is great, just like the food. There are more than enough power outlets and the air conditioning keeps you cool. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi dropped out quite often when we were working here. However, that may have been a snapshot.

For the best coffee, while working in Berawa, you have to go to Satusatu! This restaurant grows and roasts its own coffee and you can taste that! But of course, you are not solely here for the coffee, work has to be done! And that is definitely possible in the work-friendly space on the first floor. In a kind of glass room, with a large table where you can work on with up to six people. There is quiet music being played, there is air conditioning (unfortunately you are sitting above the kitchen so it is still hot), and you are not hearing the noise of the ground floor. A very work-friendly restaurant!

Satusatu is a very popular place. Not surprising because the food is delicious and cheap too. Because it gets so busy, it is not very suitable for digital nomads on the ground floor. If the workspace on the first floor is full, it might be better to visit Satusatu another time. In that case, do linger around to the taste of that famous coffee, definitely worth it!

Food: super tasty (go for the tuna sandwich), but small portions.
Coffee: 10/10
Air conditioning: only on the first floor, does not work great.
WiFi: 7/10, sometimes doesn’t work
Price level: 10/10, wow, these are great prices! Only the coffee is more expensive!
Vibe: 8/10, on the first floor it is quiet, the ground floor soon becomes too busy!
Chairs: 9/10 Nice and solid wooden chairs and tables at a good height!

First of all, Kinship is not free, but with the GU Guide (available in the App-store), you can get a free day pass here. (nowadays, the changed it to only 2 free hours!). Go check it out, it is a great place for work for a full day or just a few hours.

This large co-working space is located in an old factory hall. This has been completely refurbished, but still has that raw industrial appearance. There is air conditioning (hallelujah, sometimes so nice on a hot day!) And good coffee is served in the coffee bar!

In this coworking space in Berawa, there are special meeting rooms that you can rent, as well as a photo studio. Besides the air conditioning, I also found the peace that prevailed here really a plus.

So download that GU Guide App, claim your free voucher so that you can work a nice day here for free! A normal day pass costs IDR 200,000 (€ 13.50).
