Kréme Seminyak Coffee Shop

you're on jl. raya seminyak, one of bali's busier corridors, where the traffic moves in its own particular way and the options for coffee range from forgettable to genuinely worth stopping for. kréme sits at number 50, and the people who find it tend to keep coming back, which in seminyak, where novelty usually wins, means something. this isn't a neighborhood that rewards mediocrity for long. specialty coffee in bali has grown into its own serious scene, informed by indonesia's deep history as a producing country, and kréme fits into that scene without needing to announce it. you don't have to be passing through seminyak to make it worth the trip, but if you are already on jl. raya, there's no reason to keep walking. the mid-morning hour, before kuta's heat fully settles in, is a good time to be there with a cup.
