Top go-to place for creative inspiration

Finally, Sanggingan has a proper espresso machine and talented baristas to operate it. Aletheia is the only place in the Sanggingan/Lungsiakan/Kedewatan that serves up high quality coffee drinks. And, Aletheia offers more than the usual cafe stuff. Aletheia is my go-to place for some creative inspiration with it’s library of Indonesian art books and unique collection of highly curated artwork. The coffee is luar biasa (outstanding)—the best in Sanggingan. Their Sexy Dragon bowl rivals that of the renowned Elephant vegetarian restaurant in Camphuan. The staff is super friendly. There are several spacious tables that make Aletheia perfect for leisure and business gatherings. The only challenge I have with Aletheia Back House is the price for food and drink. Their prices are not expat or local friendly, but totally worth it when you need to indulge or when you are vacation. I didn’t like that it didn’t open til 9 am, but they’ve recently started opening at 8. Yay! enjoy

A comfy place to have a good coffee ☕️

Aletheia Backhouse is not your ordinary coffee shop. It’s a cafe, art gallery and creative working space at the same time. Owned and operated by local but understand foreign people and local taste very well, makes this place very recommended to be visited when you’re in Ubud. Located in Jalan Raya Sanggingan, a lil bit uptown area, this place offers you a very nice ambiance. My favorite is having a coffee and chitchat with the owner and staffs while looking at people who walk outside from their big window.
