Drifter Surf Shop & Café

This is where surf days usually start. Or end.

Just minutes from Uluwatu’s iconic surf breaks, Drifter’s Café sits alongside the Drifter surf shop, forming an open-air space built around good food, strong coffee and the unhurried rhythm of island life.

Whether you’re fuelling up post-surf, browsing boards, or settling in for a slow breakfast, everything here is simple, nourishing, and made with local ingredients.

Fuel for days
The menu leans wholesome without being restrictive, offering plant-based and pescatarian options made with local ingredients that energise without weighing you down. It’s the kind of food that fits naturally into surf mornings, beach afternoons, and everything in between.

Coffee worth lingering over
Coffee is taken seriously here, with beans sourced from Indonesia, alongside cold-pressed juices and thoughtfully crafted drinks. It’s a place where refills turn into conversations and no one’s rushing you out the door.

A natural meeting point
Drifter’s Café isn’t just somewhere to eat, it’s where travellers, surfers and locals cross paths. Come to cool off, connect, or simply sit back and take in Uluwatu’s thriving surf scene. The café also regularly hosts surf-centric community events.

Story behind Drifter Café
Drifter’s Café grew out of the same mindset that shaped the wider Drifter world: a love for surf culture, quality craft and doing things properly, even when no one’s watching.

Designed as a relaxed extension of beach life, the space was created to feel open, welcoming and easy, a place where good habits blend seamlessly into everyday routines.
