Whether you're looking for a refreshing start to your day or a relaxing spot to unwind, Livingstone Holyground offers an experience that feels both comforting and invigorating.
At the core of Livingstone Holyground’s appeal is its thoughtfully crafted menu. The salad selections are vibrant and fresh, with highlights like the Asian Chicken Noodle Salad, featuring tender grilled chicken, delicate rice noodles, crunchy vegetables, and a perfectly balanced Asian dressing finished with crushed peanuts for texture.

If you’re in the mood to treat yourself, their signature shakes are a decadent delight. Indulgent choices like the Oreo Shake, blending fresh milk, Oreo biscuits, and vanilla ice cream, topped with non-dairy cream and cookie crumbs, evoke childhood nostalgia with a grown-up twist. For a caramelized sweetness, the Biscoff Shake combines fresh milk, biscoff biscuit, caramel sauce, and biscoff butter crunchy to great effect. Or opt for the Banana Nutella Shake, a luscious blend of banana, Nutella, and vanilla ice cream crowned with banana slices—each sip a smooth, chocolatey embrace.
For those seeking a healthier pick-me-up, the Super Healthy Smoothies are colorful, nutrient-packed, and bursting with tropical and berry flavors. From the exotic Berry Tropicana—a medley of mango, blueberry, blackberry, and raspberry enriched with coconut milk and honey—to the vibrantly pink Red Dragon smoothie featuring dragon fruit and beetroot, each blend speaks to vitality and freshness.

We first stumbled upon this lovely cafe by accident and were so blown away by its amazing looking pastries and lovely staff that we had to come back the next day. On our first visit we took two pastries to go and enjoyed them back at our villa. They were delicious! The next day we stopped again and I enjoyed a very delicious yellow fin tuna steak, followed by a choco almond caramel pistachio croissant. It was all delicious, came promptly and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Came for brunch and was blow away by the atmosphere and beauty of the resto. The menu was so hard to choose, all the choices sounded amazing. We had the full English plate and baked jalapeño pesto eggs, food quality was amazing. The coffees and juices, so hard to choose but went with an iced latte, cold foam cold brew and a yakult tropical juice. We would love to come back again for other dining times.

This place honestly surprised me in the best way. I stopped by for lunch and ended up staying longer than planned — the vibe, sunlight streaming through the windows, and calm background music made it such a cozy spot to unwind. I ordered their traditional Balinese platter, and every bite had so much flavor. The rice was perfectly cooked, the shredded chicken was tender and rich, and the sambal packed just the right amount of heat. The small bowl of curry on the side tied it all together beautifully. Then came dessert — coconut yogurt served in a coconut shell topped with mango and strawberry. Light, fresh, and exactly what you’d want in Bali’s heat.

Comfortable seating. Perfect for working while sipping your morning cup of joe. Staff are friendly and helpful. The smoothie bowl and english breakfast are delicious. The smoothie bowl would be perfect if the percentage of granola is a bit higher to add more crunchiness, but it tastes great otherwise. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved this cafe. It’s cozy for camping out and working, with such an extensive menu and bakery. You can get anything you are craving for here! When the weather is nicer, I can’t wait to come back and sit on the beautiful garden/patio area as well. I highly recommend the signature cold brews and chipotle chicken salad :) Def coming back to try their other menu items and famous croissant next time

This is a lovely place with good quality food, great coffee, a bakery section and good variety of local dishes, asian food and western dishes. They have a cool indoor area, open gorgeous back area with a nice peaceful garden and a private event room for larger groups The prices aren't super cheap but still affordable with the average food ranging from 120k to 300k. All staff are well trained and so lovely. Adele even helped me with reloading credit on my phone because I could not figure out how to do it myself! We have come here a few times now, either for breakfast and to work from our laptops or for a more luxury dinner. Definitely recommended as an appreciated versatile destination.

Everything was superb! I first walked in and got swept at away by the smell of the cafe, it was a feeling of instant comfort. Observing the atmosphere and seeing the pastry display made my jaw drop! And was quite hard to choose a pastry as I wanted all of them. I chose the almond pistachio pastry filled with sweet pastry cream. It was a bit too sweet for me but delicious nonetheless. I also ordered the Biscoff Caramel Frape with coconut milk, and it was absolutely perfect! I was delighted to see so many other locations of LivingStone, they are clearly doing something right. I’m very happy I chose to visit this dreamy cafe during my stay here in Ubud. A place like this of course has impeccable service. Chef’s kiss!
