I am a HUGE starbucks lover and truly an ambassador of the brand. No matter where I go I ALWAYS look for a Starbucks & usually when traveling internationally get myself a souvenir. This place doesn't meet the starbucks level of quality and customer service. the prices are the same as any other starbucks so don't think your getting a deal here cause converted over to US or CAD it's the same.

The wifi was very weak too but that seems to be most places in ubud, few cafes ive found with decent wifi here but did expect more from starbucks to be one of the...
Read moreMany years ago, I enjoyed a short family vacation in Bali, where I had the chance to savor a cup of coffee at the Starbucks located in Ubud, close to various temples. The decor harmoniously integrates with Bali's rich traditions and culture, which is truly impressive.
After finishing my drink, I decided to explore the bustling streets, where art shops and markets offered a glimpse into the island's creative spirit. From handcrafted batik fabrics to beautifully carved wooden sculptures, every item seemed to tell a story of its own. The warmth of the Balinese people added to the charm, as they greeted visitors with genuine smiles and welcoming gestures.
That trip to Bali left an indelible mark on my heart, reminding me of the beauty of embracing both the old and the new, and how they can coexist harmoniously to create something truly unique and...
