Cafe Tutmak Ubud

Jalan Dewi Sita. A hip café, created by Ketut and his wife, who hails from Berkeley, California. The best coffee in the known universe. A key hangout for creative expats and locals. Live acoustic music several nights a month (frequently unannounced), often featuring Ketut Yuliars, the owner of Ganesha Bookshop, who plays mandolin and sitar, joined by talented locals on flute, guitar, drums and other instruments. Distinguished musicians visiting Ubud are encouraged to collaborate with "Yuli" and his friends. We have seen extraordinary violinists from Europe and Japan, Flamenco guitarists, harpists and even didgeridoo players here. If there's no live music, the conversation, coffee, backgammon, scrabble, drinks and desserts are more than enough to keep you happy here for hours. The evening chef, Guskok, is a charming fellow. With just a little coaxing he will share with you his extensive knowledge of cultural traditions and the pace of change in the Ubud area. Open until about 11 or 11:30.
