Milk & Madu Berawa

Milk & Madu has been part of Bali’s brunch scene since 2014, and the Berawa café is one of its busiest venues. The name combines milk and madu – Indonesian for honey – and the vibe matches: warm, welcoming and easygoing. It’s the kind of place where families, surfers, remote workers and friends meeting for a long lunch all feel at home.

The group now runs five venues across Bali – Berawa, Canggu Beach Road, Seminyak, Ubud and Uluwatu – but Berawa remains a hub, with a big open dining space, a bar for evening cocktails and a regular live-music programme.

The food

Breakfast and brunch are the foundations: pancakes, egg dishes, bowls and hearty plates, plus good coffee and fresh juices. The popular Brekky Set (IDR 110k) bundles a breakfast dish with coffee and juice, which makes it excellent value. Later in the day the focus shifts to burgers, salads and wood-fired pizzas, followed by cocktails into the evening.

What to order

• Brekky Set – breakfast plate, coffee and juice for IDR 110k
• Pancakes – fluffy stacks with sweet toppings
• Wood-fired pizzas – look out for 2-for-1 pizza on Tuesdays and Sundays
• Burgers and hearty lunch plates
• Cocktails from the bar as the sun goes down

Music & family time

Live local music is a regular fixture at Berawa: on Tuesday and Friday from 18:00 to 21:00, and on Saturday and Sunday both at lunch (11:00–14:00) and in the evening (18:00–21:00). The café is especially welcoming to children and hosts kids’ birthday parties with pizza-making workshops, arts and crafts and play areas.

Tips for your visit

• Weekend brunch is busy – arrive before 09:30 or be ready for a short wait.
• Plan dinner around a live-music night for the best atmosphere.
• Pizza nights on Tuesday and Sunday are great value for groups.
• Ask about kids’ party packages if you’re celebrating with little ones.
• Combine with a walk down to Berawa Beach and its beach clubs.

Who it suits

Milk & Madu is one of the most family-friendly cafés in the Canggu area, with a menu that keeps children happy and a relaxed atmosphere where nobody minds a bit of noise. It is also a solid option for groups who want something for everyone – brunch lovers, pizza fans and cocktail drinkers can all be satisfied at the same table.

Travellers with a busy Berawa itinerary find it convenient too: it is close to the beach clubs, surf schools and gyms on this stretch, so it works for a pre-beach breakfast, a post-workout lunch or a relaxed dinner with live music before an early night. The brand’s other venues make it easy to revisit favourites in Seminyak, Ubud or Uluwatu.

Unfussy, friendly and good value, Milk & Madu Berawa is an easy crowd-pleaser any time of day.
