Cookies Coffee Shop & Warung
Within walking distance from Dream Beach and Devil’s Tears, this restaurant is open and breezy. Higher cost than other places and all I saw were content creators talking into their cameras. Juice was nice and they used metal straws which is always good.

Klyf Club Blue Lagoon
I didn’t realise this beautiful restaurant existed until I saw it from across the Blue Lagoon and I knew that would be a nice place to sit for awhile. Sitting on a cliff overlooking the bluest water you will ever see, this is such a lovely place. I saw turtles swimming in the lagoon while I was sitting here too! They have marked vegan options if you’re looking for food and a wide variety of juices and drinks. Such a beautiful restaurant.
The Sand Ceningan
Located near the yellow bridge on Nusa Ceningan, this restaurant on the sea has a lovely view out to the seaweed farms. With vegan options and plenty of juices, this is the perfect place to stop and chill for awhile before you walk back over the yellow bridge to Nusa Lembongan.
