Canggu’s food scene gets a lot of attention for its surf, its sunsets, and its beach clubs. But ask anyone who’s spent more than a few days here, and they’ll tell you the dessert scene is something else entirely.
From gooey freshly baked cookies to elegant European-style cakes, the neighborhood punches well above its weight when it comes to sweet treats. If you’re planning a trip and wondering where to start, SatuSatu is a Bali travel platform that helps travelers discover and book the best experiences the island has to offer.
Here’s a guide to five dessert spots in Canggu that are genuinely worth your time.
Mavammy
📍 Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong No.8, Batu Bolong, Canggu, a short walk from Batu Bolong Beach
💰 Desserts typically start around IDR 60,000 to IDR 120,000
🕐 Open daily, 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM
👥 Best For: couples, solo travelers, digital nomads, and anyone who appreciates beautifully presented food
✨ What Makes It Special: refined European-style desserts made with Belgian chocolate and high-quality ingredients, in a cozy cafe setting
Mavammy has built a loyal following among Canggu regulars for its elegantly balanced desserts that never veer into being overly sweet. The Red Velvet cake is a standout for its generous size and fresh, light texture, while the Honey Cake with Orange adds a citrusy brightness that feels at home in Bali’s tropical heat.
The cafe itself is bathed in afternoon light with a muted color palette of whites, creams, and soft greens that makes it a genuinely pleasant place to sit.
The Lotus Cheesecake and Profiteroles are also crowd favorites, and the hot matcha latte is frequently called one of the best in Canggu. If you’re after dessert that feels considered rather than commercial, Mavammy delivers.
Dang! Cookies
📍 Jl. Batu Mejan Canggu No.2, near Echo Beach, Canggu
💰 Individual cookies typically from IDR 25,000 to IDR 70,000; cookie packs available from IDR 85,000
🕐 Open daily from around 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM (hours may vary by location)
👥 Best For: families, groups, solo snackers, anyone looking for a grab-and-go treat
✨ What Makes It Special: freshly baked cookies with warm, gooey centers and creative flavor combinations that have earned a cult following across Bali
Walking past Dang! Cookies without stopping is harder than it sounds. The smell hits you first, and then you see the trays.
Each cookie is named like a character: “Kevin” combines chocolate and Kit Kat pieces, “Germaine” goes dark with chocolate and walnut, and “Ginny” brings a white chocolate and Biscoff combination that’s become one of their most requested. Vegan options are also available, making this an inclusive stop for all kinds of eaters.
The cookies are thick, chewy, and deeply satisfying rather than delicate, which makes Dang! a go-to for people who want proper dessert with no fuss. Pair one with a Chai or Matcha Latte and you’ve got yourself a genuine afternoon highlight.
The Shady Shack
📍 Jl. Tanah Barak No.53, Canggu, near the rice fields off the main Batu Bolong strip
💰 Vegan desserts typically start around IDR 50,000 to IDR 90,000
🕐 Open daily from 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM
👥 Best For: health-conscious travelers, vegans, vegetarians, and anyone who doesn’t want to compromise on flavor
✨ What Makes It Special: raw vegan desserts made fresh daily, free from dairy, gluten, and refined sugar, in a garden setting surrounded by rice fields
The Shady Shack opened in 2016 with a focus on sustainable, plant-based food, and its dessert menu has become as much of a draw as its savory dishes.
The chocolate almond caramel tart features a nutty base, a sweet gooey center, and a rich chocolate topping that manages to feel genuinely indulgent despite containing none of the usual suspects.
All raw vegan cakes are made fresh each day, which means what you get is never sitting in a chiller for days.
The setting matters here too. Nestled next to the rice fields with a leafy outdoor garden and high wooden ceilings inside, The Shady Shack is one of those places where dessert becomes part of a longer, more relaxed afternoon rather than a quick stop.
Milk & Madu
📍 Jl. Pantai Berawa, Berawa area of Canggu, a short ride from Batu Bolong
💰 Desserts and smoothie bowls typically IDR 70,000 to IDR 130,000
🕐 Open daily; hours may vary, check their current schedule before visiting
👥 Best For: families, brunch lovers, and travelers who want a lively atmosphere with quality food
✨ What Makes It Special: an open-air cafe with a bright, tropical feel and a dessert menu that blends crowd-pleasing classics with fresh local ingredients
Milk & Madu has been a fixture on the Berawa dining scene for years, and its dessert and sweet menu keeps drawing people back visit after visit. The coconut panna cotta is a particular highlight, with passionfruit coulis cutting through the creaminess in a way that feels refreshing rather than heavy.
Fluffy pancakes, vibrant acai bowls, and a smoothie bowl selection that changes with the season round out the sweet offerings nicely.
The atmosphere here is upbeat and genuinely family-friendly, with high ceilings, plenty of natural light, and the kind of comfortable energy that makes it easy to linger well past the last bite. It’s an especially good call for groups with different dietary preferences, since the menu covers a wide range without feeling like a compromise.
Warung Bu Mi
📍 Batu Bolong area, Canggu (a short walk from the main strip)
💰 Traditional desserts typically start at IDR 25,000 to IDR 50,000
🕐 Hours vary; best visited in the afternoon when desserts are freshly made
👥 Best For: travelers who want an authentic local experience alongside their sweet fix ✨ What Makes It Special: traditional Balinese desserts at local warung prices, with mango sticky rice that balances warm coconut-soaked rice against cool, ripe fresh mango
Not every great dessert in Canggu requires a stylish cafe interior and a matcha latte on the side. Warung Bu Mi is a local institution that serves mango sticky rice the way it should be, glutinous rice soaked in sweet coconut milk, topped with slices of ripe fresh mango that bring the whole thing to life.
The contrast between the warm sticky rice and the cool fruit is simple but genuinely satisfying, and it’s the kind of dessert that a lot of travelers end up hunting down specifically.
Warung Bu Mi is also a reminder of what makes Canggu interesting as a food destination. Fancy cafes and local warungs exist side by side here, and both have something worth trying.
