The Best Salt Bread in Bali

Salt bread, or sogeum ppang in Korean, or shio pan in Japan, has quietly become one of Bali’s most popular pastry cravings lately. Known for its buttery flavor, crisp golden outer layer, and soft chewy inside, this simple bread is now everywhere across the island, from cozy hidden cafés to trendy bakeries. Some places keep it classic with the original version, while others get creative with flavors like garlic butter and even ube mochi. Craving some salt bread? These are some of the best places to enjoy salt bread in Bali. Enjoy!

Arabaked

Arabaked is known as one of the best places to enjoy salt bread in Bali. They prepare limited quantities daily, so it’s best to pre-order in advance. Their flavors range from original and double choco to kani mentai and ube mochi. A little tip, Arabaked often joins the Sunday Market at La Brisa, so come early to the market before everything sells out.

BUTTER-BEURRE

Known for their naturally leavened breads with 40 hours of slow fermentation and no commercial yeast added, Butter-Beurre serves sourdough salt bread, said to be the first of its kind in Bali. Because it uses sourdough, the bread has a slight sourness, with a crispy exterior and buttery inside. The original flavor is the favorite, but the garlic & blue cheese is also worth trying. Open daily from 8 AM to 4 PM.

Pison

This popular local café also serves delicious shio pan. Their salt bread is golden, soft, slightly salty, and perfect with a cappuccino. Freshly baked daily and available at Pison Petitenget and Ubud, the bread has a hollow center that gives it a nice chewy texture. Pison Bali offers three flavors to try. The original remains favorite, but the cheesy cheese pesto and aromatic truffle bacon are also worth to try.

Series Coffee Roasters

Newly opened in Sanur, Series Coffee Roasters feels very homey. The café is small yet cozy, and the owner, who recently relocated from Australia, pays great attention to detail. Since seating and baked goods are limited, it’s best to come during breakfast time for the salt bread. Pair it with their matcha cold brew or any of their coffees, as they are very serious about their coffee quality.

32do

Oh, who doesn’t know 32do? This popular Korean café is well known for its coffee and pastries because they take both very seriously. Their sogeum ppang is one of the favorites. Go for the original if you want the authentic Korean salt bread taste, or choose garlic butter for something more savory. Pair it with an A-A, or iced americano, for the perfect Korean-style experience.
