Coffee and croissants in Uluwatu
Nineteen coffees on the menu, from a double espresso to the ones you rarely find on the island: raf, an orange raf, a halva latte, bumble and an iced coconut coffee.

Looking for the best coffee in Uluwatu?
Shaffa is a restaurant in Balangan, Uluwatu, that works as a cafe from eight in the morning: a full coffee bar, croissants baked here every day, and breakfast until two. If you are after a coffee shop in Uluwatu near Balangan Beach, it is on the same road, a nine-minute drive up from the beach, and the terrace is open to the air with the ocean in the distance. A search for the best coffee in Balangan and a search for a cafe in Uluwatu end up at the same address, because Balangan is the near end of that stretch.
People looking for the best cafes in Uluwatu usually want one of two things: somewhere to work, or somewhere to sit with a view. This is the second kind. The terrace is open to the air, the tables are not built around sockets, and the morning here is unhurried rather than busy.
What sets the cups apart from other cafes in Uluwatu is the list: raf coffee in three versions, which is hard to find anywhere in Bali, a halva latte, bumble and an iced coconut coffee, next to the espresso, flat white and latte you would expect. For dessert in Uluwatu there is honey cake and a lazy napoleon, the kind of cakes guests from Russia and Eastern Europe say taste like home.
The ones you do not see elsewhere
Raf, the creamy coffee from Russia and Eastern Europe, in three versions: classic, orange and matcha. A halva latte with sesame on the foam. Bumble and an iced coconut coffee for the hot hours.
Croissants with breakfast
Our bread and croissants are baked here every day. At breakfast the croissants come filled: with beef, fermented cucumber and melted mozzarella, or with mortadella, parmesan and the chef's sauce.
Cake in the afternoon
Honey cake, lazy napoleon, sour cream cloud cake, apple crumble and a burnt cheesecake: the desserts guests write about, from Rp30,000.
