💡 Local Tip from Wayan

"Seniman Coffee Studio is one of my favorite places in Ubud - it's so much more than just a cafe! You absolutely must try their signature cold brew - it's the best I've had in Bali. Go in the morning around 8 AM when it's quieter, and you can really appreciate the art on the walls and the creative atmosphere. If you're interested in coffee, ask about their workshops - they're really educational and fun. The art exhibitions change regularly, so there's always something new to see. It's a great place to meet other coffee lovers and artists. And don't forget to check out their roasted beans - you can buy some to take home!"
