Clear Cafe

Clear Cafe has been a fixture on Jalan Hanoman for years, built on the idea of “clean food for clean minds”. It believes Ubud sits at the heart of Bali’s wellness culture, and its menu reflects that: organic ingredients, natural preparation and plenty of dishes designed to leave you feeling lighter rather than heavier.

The café sits right in the middle of Ubud’s main shopping street, surrounded by boutiques, yoga studios and galleries, which makes it a convenient pit stop during a day of exploring. Inside, the pace slows down. The space is known for being calm and relaxed, a place to recharge with a juice or settle in for a long, healthy lunch.

The food

The menu is broad and wellness-oriented, spanning breakfast plates, salads, bowls and wholesome mains, with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Organic and natural ingredients are the priority, and the kitchen caters readily for people avoiding gluten, dairy or meat. The drinks list is a big draw, with fresh-pressed juices, smoothies, herbal tonics and kombucha.

What to order

• Fresh-pressed juices and detox blends
• Smoothies and smoothie bowls
• House kombucha
• Salads and nourish bowls with organic produce
• Wholesome mains with vegetarian and vegan choices

The space

Clear Cafe has a whimsical, laid-back interior with relaxed seating that encourages you to linger. It works equally well for a solo breakfast with a book, a catch-up with friends or a post-yoga refuel. The atmosphere is quiet and friendly rather than trendy, and staff are used to accommodating dietary questions.

Tips for your visit

• Hours are not published on the website, call ahead if you plan an early breakfast or late dinner.
• It’s an easy walk from Ubud Palace, the Monkey Forest and Jalan Hanoman’s yoga studios.
• Try a juice or kombucha even if you’re just passing by.
• Ask staff to point out vegan and gluten-free dishes.
• Parking on Jalan Hanoman is tight; walk or arrive by scooter.

Who it suits

Clear Cafe is well suited to travellers who are in Ubud for yoga, meditation or a wellness break and want food that supports that routine. It is also a friendly place for people with dietary restrictions, as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are easy to find and staff are used to questions about ingredients. Solo travellers will feel comfortable lingering with a juice and a journal, while small groups can share several plates.

Jalan Hanoman is lined with boutiques, craft shops and wellness studios, so a stop here fits easily into a morning of browsing or a break between classes. The Ubud Palace, Ubud Art Market and Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary are all within walking distance.

For a peaceful, health-focused meal in the thick of Ubud’s shopping streets, Clear Cafe remains a reliable, welcoming choice.
