still talking about where to go in ubud, and jalan karna keeps coming up. balistar coffee sits at no. 14 on that street, which puts you a short walk from the main drag without the foot traffic that makes sitting down feel like a chore. ubud has no shortage of cafes leaning on the rice-field backdrop to do the heavy lifting, so a place that builds a real following on the strength of what's actually in the cup is worth paying attention to. the regulars here are consistent and vocal, which in a town this size means something. if you're mapping out your morning, jalan karna no. 14 is worth building the rest of the day around, starting with whatever's pulling espresso that hour.
