Best Cafés in Ubud This December: Festive Eats, Cozy Spots, and Flock Bali’s Art-Driven Dining

There’s something magical about Ubud in December — the town hums with a festive, cozy, artsy energy, as travelers and locals alike embrace the slow-living spirit of Bali. The air feels alive with holiday optimism, yet calm enough to wander aimlessly among narrow alleys, lush greenery, and hidden cafés. As December marks the peak travel season, choosing where to eat and unwind becomes more than a convenience — it shapes your Bali experience. And if there’s one Ubud café that should top your list this season, it’s Flock Bali.

Why December is the Perfect Time to Explore Ubud

While December nudges Bali into its rainy season, that only adds to Ubud’s quiet charm. Rainy days are an invitation to slow down, take refuge under leafy canopies, and savor a warm meal or aromatic coffee in a cozy café corner.

At the same time, the holiday season brings festivity: think gentle Christmas lights, local celebrations, seasonal events, and an inviting vibe as travelers flock to the island. For many, those rainy breaks between adventures become an ideal chance to pause — cafés turn into havens of warmth, comfort, and flavor.

In a place like Ubud — where serenity meets creativity — cafés aren’t just quick stops. In December, they become mini-sanctuaries: perfect for lounging, planning your next move, or simply soaking in the island’s slow rhythm over a cup of coffee or kombucha.

Introducing Flock Bali: Your Must-Try Ubud Café This Holiday Season

Modern Bali Art Café Concept

Flock Bali isn’t just another café — it’s a creative haven thoughtfully designed for people who crave more than just a meal. Here, food meets art. Founded on the principles of #craftculture, nearly everything on the menu is made in-house — from buns and cookies to their inventive, house-brewed kombucha. 

Inside, you’ll find an open, airy space that balances minimalism with warm, artistic touches. Walls are adorned with vibrant murals and art commissioned from local creatives — a nod to Ubud’s artistic heartbeat. One standout piece, the mural titled “Suksma Dewi Sri”, was created by a local artist, celebrating gratitude, abundance, and Bali’s spiritual heritage. 

Whether you arrive during a downpour or under clear skies, Flock offers a peaceful, inviting space to settle in — perfect for a slow breakfast, an afternoon coffee break, or an intimate dinner among friends.

Whether you’re craving a hearty breakfast, a light salad, or a comforting dinner after a long day exploring Ubud, Flock has you covered. Our menu is diverse and inclusive: from vegetarian-friendly bowls to meat dishes, wholesome salads, fresh juices, and bakery treats made in-house. 

Highlights among favorite dishes mentioned by visitors include avocado toast, eggs benedict, fried-chicken mains, and more experimental comfort-food creations that marry familiarity with a Bali twist. 

Coffee lovers are in for a treat — Flock employs skilled baristas who pour with passion, offering espresso-based classics and specialty brews. Their commitment to craft turns every cup into a mini ritual. 

And beyond coffee? Flock’s house-brewed kombucha is a signature craft — a refreshing, probiotic-rich drink made with local ingredients, ideal for a tropical island vibe with a health twist. 

December Specials & Limited-Time Items

As the holiday season draws near, Flock embraces the spirit of creativity and giving. Our house-brewed kombucha becomes a standout — often released in seasonal flavors crafted with local tropical fruits, herbs, and spices.
