Cafe Sardinia

cafe sardinia takes its coffee seriously, and you'll feel that within a few minutes of being there. sitting inside beach walk mall on jl. pantai kuta puts it right in the middle of kuta's busiest stretch, which sounds like a compromise but isn't really. mall locations can go either way, and this one pulls it off. the local following it's built didn't come from foot traffic alone. there's a consistency here that independent spots in bali's tourist corridors don't always manage to hold onto. if you're moving through kuta and want something that doesn't feel like an afterthought between shops, this is a reasonable place to land. start with whatever's on their espresso bar.
