Why Lazy Cats Cafe Ubud is one of my favorite cafes to visit?

After three years of relocating to Bali, I have never grown bored of visiting Ubud and immersing myself in all its mystical power and energies.

Unlike Canggu or other parts of Bali, Ubud holds a special place in my life. It was where, for the first time back in 2020, I experienced the worst accident that destroyed my backpack, some of my camera part and all the lenses I had invested in for two years.

This incident also left me unable to walk for three weeks. It has given me a memory and a travel story that, when I reminisce about it, is truly memorable and teaches me a valuable life lesson.

Each exploration in Ubud brings forth special stories, even as I return to time and time.

Moreover, every exploration inevitably concludes with a visit to one of my favorite cafes in Ubud: Lazy Cats Cafe Ubud.

Lazy Cats Cafe is the place where you can find your aesthetic path to enjoy your laziness.

I think everyone in Bali, especially those who currently decide to live for a long time and work in Bali, tends to find themselves drawn to a more laid-back lifestyle, even when they have formal routines such as professional work or meetings.

Bali, with its unique vibe, often encourages people to relax and explore their leisurely side. People often say 'This is Bali, Boss' to celebrate the laid-back lifestyle and the absence of hustle in Bali.

Lazy Cats Cafe can be a great choice when you want to embrace this lifestyle and relax on one of its couches, indulging in the aesthetic of laziness. Plus, you'll be impressed by the cafe's appearance and how it embodies a lazy atmosphere, with elements that perfectly complement the laid-back ambiance.

Entering the front-side cafe, you'll find yourself surrounded by classic industrial decorations that evoke a sense of nostalgia. As you ascend the stairs to the second floor where the cafe awaits, your gaze is drawn to the left wall adorned with iconic portraits of legends such as Muhammad Ali and Marilyn Monroe.

Their images hang proudly, contributing to the ambiance of timeless glamour and cultural significance that permeates the space. It's a fitting tribute to those who have left an indelible mark on history, welcoming you into a setting where the past intertwines with the present.

Lazy Cats Cafe transports you to serenity amid the hustle of Ubud's traffic.

I can say that Alexis Dornier, the architect behind it all, has successfully blended the mystical energy of Ubud with a concept of industrial bohemian flair. With beautiful decor, art, lush vegetation, and vintage furniture all mixed together, he has created harmony and a unique ambiance that appeals to the senses.

As you step into the entry space on the second floor, you'll immediately feel the inviting ambiance coaxing you into a state of relaxation. I highly recommend descending the stairs, where the bar and inviting couches eagerly await your presence. It's an experience that will leave you in awe, one you'll never forget.

From there, you can take in the bustling crowd and traffic outside from the balcony, or perhaps indulge in a novel or book from the charming mini library.

Being Lazy Does Not Mean Doing Nothing, It Means Dedicating Time to Yourself, Without the Need to Be Productive

Lazy Cats Cafe : One of my favorite cafe in Ubud for healthy food options.

As you settle in and peruse the menu, you'll quickly discover that this café offers a diverse array of vegetarian-friendly options. During my last visit, which happened to be during breakfast hours, I indulged in my favorite dish: cheesy sourdough bread accompanied by authentic sambals, resulting in a delightful cheesy crispy toast. Additionally, I couldn't resist ordering some pancakes topped with sliced strawberries and vanilla ice cream on the side, perfectly capturing the essence of breakfast time in Ubud.

One of the reasons I find myself drawn to this café, particularly during breakfast hours when I'm in Ubud, is my unwavering love for their "Cheesy Crispy Toast." While I fully intend to explore other offerings on the menu, this toast never fails to captivate my taste buds whenever I'm there.

In terms of pricing, I believe the café offers very reasonable prices considering the quality and value of the food, which is not only delicious but also healthy. Some items are priced between 40,000 IDR to 90,000 IDR, or roughly $2 to $5.77, making it accessible without feeling overpriced.

Similar to the food prices, the beverage prices are also quite affordable. Certain alcoholic drinks may be priced around 80,000 IDR, approximately $5. However, if you're looking to truly unwind and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, you might prefer non-alcoholic options.

Conclusion

In my personal opinion, Lazy Cats Cafe is a must-try establishment, offering an ambiance of serenity and laid-back charm. Its industrial aesthetic, with gentle haze and ambient lighting from above, combined with comfortable couches and sofas, makes it hard to leave the café early.

The food and beverages are reasonably priced, with a wide array of options, all of which are healthy. I highly recommend visiting during breakfast or brunch hours, as the breakfast options are particularly delightful.

For those seeking Instagrammable spots for memorable moments and picturesque snapshots, this café is also highly recommended. Many areas within the café provide perfect backdrops for photoshoots, allowing you to share your Bali experience with friends and family.
