From Hidden Gem to Global Recognition: How Lucid Cafe Bali Became a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice 2025 Winner

Two years ago, Lucid Cafe Bali wasn’t a “must-visit spot” or a name you’d casually hear in travel conversations. It was a dream tucked into a modest corner of Jimbaran — built on hope, heart, and a belief that good food and genuine connection could bring people together.

There were no big billboards. No influencer blitz. No polished PR. Just a few tables, a small but mighty crew, and the courage to start — not knowing how many souls would eventually call this place their favorite escape.

It Started with One Smile, One Cup, One Story

In the early days, almost every guest came because someone they trusted whispered, “You have to try Lucid.”

Friends brought friends.
Locals brought colleagues.
Travelers returned with family.

Lucid’s growth didn’t come from trends — it came from testimony. From the way a barista remembered your name. From the smell of homemade pastry in the morning. From the hours spent laughing over iced matcha oatmilk or planning life at the corner table while eating salmon butter rice by the glass window.

Every conversation left behind a footprint. Every seat filled became a chapter added.

And slowly, word of mouth became a quiet movement.

From Jimbaran’s Neighborhood Favorite to Top 10% Worldwide

Today, that journey has been recognized in the most unexpected and meaningful way — Lucid Cafe Bali has been awarded the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2025, placing it in the top 10% of destinations worldwide based on global reviews.

This isn’t just a trophy. It’s the reflection of every review, every photo shared, every recommendation whispered, every return visit, every “you have to go there.”

It belongs to:

  • The first customers who believed in a café no one had heard of.
  • The regulars who turned tables into second homes.
  • The staff who built not just a menu, but a culture.
  • The travelers who found Lucid by chance and left as friends.
  • The community that spoke louder than any advertisement ever could.

What Makes This Win Even More Special?

Lucid didn’t win because of flashy campaigns.
It won because people cared enough to talk.

Every comment on TripAdvisor.
Every kind word on Google.
Every traveler who said, “I wasn’t planning to stop here — but I’m so glad I did.”

They built this moment. They made this award possible.

This Isn’t the Peak — It’s a Promise

This milestone is not the final destination; it’s a reminder of why Lucid was created in the first place: a place where humans connect, food comforts, and small moments matter.

To everyone who has been part of Lucid’s story — whether you walked in once or come three times a week — this win is ours together.

And to those who haven’t visited yet:
There’s a seat waiting, a smile ready, and a story still unfolding — one you can be part of.
