Let me share with you the " must go to " Coffee Shop in Bali and why when you visit - you will be hooked!

Even in my "bio" you can see that Coffee is a requirement, more, a necessity to get through my busy days without killing someone. Srsly. So when I started visiting Bali - I hit the JACKPOT when I discovered the BEST Coffee Shop on thi
