Smoothie Bowls in Canggu
A cold smoothie bowl after a morning surf is about as Canggu as it gets. Here is what we serve, where else to go, and how to tell a good bowl from a sugary one.
Short answer
For a smoothie bowl in Canggu, The Avocado Factory on Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan serves an Acai Smoothie Bowl (Rp 90k, vegan) and a Tropical Bowl (Rp 75k) on its breakfast menu from 7am to 11.30am, a few minutes from Echo Beach. Crate Cafe in Pererenan opens at 6am, and The Shady Shack on Jl. Tanah Barak has fully vegan bowls. See our menu.
Quick picks
- Acai: Acai Smoothie Bowl (Rp 90k), vegan, with avocado in the mix.
- Lighter: Tropical Bowl (Rp 75k), seasonal fruit, yogurt and chia.
- Earliest: Crate Cafe in Pererenan, from 6am.
- Fully vegan cafe: The Shady Shack on Jl. Tanah Barak.
- Just a drink: our smoothies (Rp 65k) and cold-pressed juices (Rp 60k).
Our smoothie bowls
- Acai Smoothie Bowl (Rp 90k, vegan): acai berries with coconut, mango, banana, avocado and strawberry, finished with granola. This is the avocado place, so of course there is avocado in it.
- Tropical Bowl (Rp 75k, vegetarian): seasonal fruit with yogurt, chia seeds, bee pollen, honey and fresh mint. Lighter, and good if you are not hungry yet.
Both are on the breakfast menu, served every day from 7am to 11.30am. After that the lunch and dinner menu takes over, but our smoothies and juices are there all day.
We have gluten-free options, but the granola may contain gluten and our kitchen is shared, so please tell the team if you have an allergy. Our bowls are not suitable for anyone with coeliac disease.

How to spot a good smoothie bowl
- It should be thick. A good bowl holds its toppings on the surface. If they sink, it is mostly juice and ice.
- Frozen fruit, not ice. The base should taste of fruit, not water. Banana or avocado gives it body.
- Watch the sugar. Fruit is sweet enough. Extra syrup, sweetened acai packs and heavy granola add up fast.
- Fresh toppings. Local mango, dragon fruit and coconut are at their best in Bali, so they should taste fresh, not tinned.

Our honest take
Surf early, then come in for a bowl while the morning is still cool. If you want something more filling, pair it with an avocado toast to share.
