A café can look irresistible on your phone and still leave one question unanswered: would you enjoy spending your holiday time there?
Gigi Susu has become a recognisable name in Canggu’s café scene, with its photogenic frontage and pastries attracting attention in recent café guides. But a photograph only explains part of the appeal.
If you enjoy bakery stops, coffee and exploring Canggu, Gigi Susu is worth considering. The best way to enjoy it is to make it part of your day rather than build your entire day around a photograph.
Here’s how to decide whether it belongs on your list.
What Makes Gigi Susu Different from Another Coffee Stop?

52 luxury villas. Best rate guaranteed. Free beach club access when you book direct.
BOOK →The attraction is the combination: a recognisable café setting, a bakery selection and the option to stay for a meal.
That gives the visit more flexibility than a single photo opportunity. You can stop for something small, sit down with a friend or explore the dinner menu if your plans bring you back later. The café maintains separate takeaway, dine-in and dinner menus.
For someone planning a Canggu café-hopping morning, it works best as one considered stop. You don’t need five breakfasts to experience the neighbourhood.
Start with the Pastry You Actually Want
The most useful ordering strategy is also the least complicated: choose for your appetite, not somebody else’s feed.
Croissants feature prominently in coverage of Gigi Susu, with almond croissants among the options mentioned by visitors. Published menus also list chocolate pastries and savoury choices.
If you are visiting with someone, order different things and share. A sweet pastry alongside a savoury breakfast gives you more variety than two identical orders chosen for the same photograph.
| If you’re in the mood for… | Consider… |
|---|---|
| A classic bakery breakfast | A plain croissant and your usual coffee |
| Something richer | An almond or chocolate pastry, if available |
| A more substantial meal | The current egg, toast or brunch options |
| An afternoon pause | A drink and something small from the bakery |

Check the latest selection and prices before ordering. A pastry seen in an older post may not be available that day.
The Storefront Is Part of the Experience—Give Yourself Time for the Rest
Take the photograph you came for. Then put your phone away long enough to enjoy your order.
A café visit becomes more memorable when it includes a conversation, a new flavour or simply a break between activities. Arriving with a strict checklist can turn breakfast into another task.
Recent guides describe Gigi Susu as a popular stop, so leave room for a wait rather than expecting immediate seating. There is no reliable promise of a crowd-free hour.
If you only want takeaway, ask which queue or ordering point to use before joining one.
Make It a Batu Bolong Day, Not a Cross-Island Detour
Gigi Susu is at Jalan Pantai Batu Bolong No. 80, Canggu. Save the location before leaving your accommodation.

Our suggested approach: breakfast first, browsing afterwards, then decide whether to continue towards the coast or head back to your villa.
Keep the rest of your plans nearby. A café stop feels different when you can enjoy it without watching the clock for a long transfer.

Is Gigi Susu Right for Your Kind of Holiday?
Add it to your list if you enjoy pastries, café interiors and discovering a neighbourhood through its food.
Keep it optional if your itinerary is already full or you mainly want a quiet, predictable place for a long meal. Check the atmosphere on arrival and decide what suits you.
You don’t have to visit every popular café to have a good Bali holiday. The useful shortlist is the one that matches how you actually like to travel.
Choose a Canggu Stay Around More Than One Café
If breakfast outings and restaurant discoveries are a big part of your trip, compare villa locations against several places you want to visit.
For families or friends, explore Villa Rayana. For a holiday for two, consider Amara Suites 2.
Check each property’s map location before booking. The OriVista team can help you compare stays around your itinerary, without assuming every Canggu address is within walking distance of Batu Bolong.
