4. Alchemy
Alchemy still remains our absolute favourite wellness cafe in Ubud. If you’re looking for a cafe that serves up the best, tastiest salads in Ubud without risking Bali belly, then this is a cafe you should not pass up.

- Heavy metal smoothie: 75K rupiah ($7.50 AUD)
- Classic green juice: 55K rupiah ($5.50)
Why We Recommend It
- Hands down the best salad bar in Ubud!
- We recommend choosing extra toppings such as the kimchi, seaweed, cashews and sunflower seeds and our favourite, the sesame salad dressing. The heavy metal detox smoothie is on the expensive side for Bali standards but is delicious.
- Overall a bit more expensive, but really only an extra couple of Australian dollars.
- Smoothies are expensive for Bali standards, unless you get a very plain one then they are about 55K.
- Coconut bounty raw treats are a must try
