About Revolver Espresso

Revolver Espresso is one of Seminyak's best-kept secrets, a speakeasy-style cafe hidden behind an unmarked door that serves some of the finest coffee in Bali. This Australian-inspired cafe has gained a cult following among locals and in-the-know travelers for its exceptional coffee, creative brunch menu, and unique hidden location. The cafe's name and decor pay homage to the Beatles' "Revolver" album, creating a cool, retro atmosphere that sets it apart from typical tourist cafes.

What makes Revolver Espresso truly special is its combination of excellent coffee craftsmanship, innovative food offerings, and its secretive, speakeasy vibe. Unlike many cafes in Seminyak that are easily visible from the street, finding Revolver requires a bit of adventure - you need to know where to look.

"Revolver Espresso is one of those places you have to know about to find - and that's what makes it special! Go early in the morning around 7:30 AM for the best experience. You'll have the place mostly to yourself and can really enjoy the speakeasy atmosphere. The coffee is excellent - try their flat white or cold brew. And don't miss their brunch menu - the avocado toast and breakfast bowls are amazing. If you can't find the entrance, just ask any local shopkeeper on Jalan Kayu Aya - they all know where it is. It's worth the hunt!"
