# Office Cafe Senggigi: Senggigi's Coworking Cafe
Office Cafe is one of Senggigi's newest additions and the first venue on the strip designed specifically for laptop workers and digital nomads. Located on the second floor above a surf shop on a quiet side street, it offers what most beach cafes cannot — fast reliable wifi, ergonomic seating, and an atmosphere built for getting things done rather than scrolling Instagram.
The space is one large air-conditioned room split into zones. The front section has small two-person desks for solo workers, with proper office chairs (not cafe chairs), good lighting, and power at every seat. The back section has a long communal table for groups or anyone who wants the cowork-feel of working alongside others. Two glass-walled phone-call booths handle the sensitive video calls that would otherwise disturb everyone else.
A small barista counter handles drinks and a limited food menu — pastries, sandwiches, salads, smoothie bowls. There's no full kitchen, deliberately. The owners — Jakarta-based remote workers who relocated to Lombok in 2024 — wanted a productivity space, not a restaurant.

Office Cafe runs a flexible day-pass system designed for cowork users:
Day passes give priority seating during peak hours (typically 9am-12pm and 2-5pm when the cafe fills up). For occasional visits, just ordering normally works fine.
The wifi is the main draw. Office Cafe runs:
Speed tests usually show 80-150 Mbps down, 30-60 Mbps up — fast enough for HD video calls, large file uploads, and developer tasks.
Power outlets and USB-A/USB-C ports are at every desk. Bring your own adapter for international plugs (Indonesia uses Type C/F European-style).
Two small glass-walled booths handle private video calls and phone meetings. Each fits one person comfortably with a small desk, chair, and good lighting. They're sound-isolated enough that conference calls don't disturb the main floor and vice versa.
Booths are first-come first-served for short calls (under 30 minutes) and bookable via WhatsApp for longer sessions. There's no extra charge for booth use beyond standard cafe ordering or day passes.
The crowd is mostly digital nomads — long-stay travelers working remotely, expats who've relocated to Lombok, occasional Jakarta visitors on workations. It skews quieter than a typical cafe — typing, occasional muted conversations, headphones common. Music plays at low volume in the front but is essentially absent in the back work zones.
If you're looking for a sociable Instagram-friendly cafe atmosphere, this isn't it. If you want to actually get work done over a 4-6 hour stretch, this is the only proper option in Senggigi.
Vegetarian and vegan: clearly marked on the menu. Most pastries vegetarian, smoothie bowls vegan-friendly (no honey by default), vegetable curry vegan, halloumi sandwich vegetarian. About half the menu is vegetarian.
Halal: most of the menu is halal. No pork. Inform staff if strictly halal — kitchen separation is straightforward.
Gluten-free: gluten-free bread available for sandwiches (+15k). Smoothie bowls and salads naturally gluten-free.
Strengths: wifi reliability, ergonomic setup, third-wave coffee, phone-call booths, productivity-focused atmosphere. For digital nomads working remotely from Lombok, this is the best work environment on the island outside Kuta's coworking spaces.
Weaknesses: less of a cafe vibe — feels institutional. Food menu is deliberately limited. Pricier coffee than at a regular cafe for similar quality. Day-pass model means peak hours can feel busy. No dinner service or sit-down restaurant feel.
Best for: digital nomads on extended Lombok stays; remote workers needing reliable wifi; freelancers handling video calls; small groups wanting a meeting space; coffee snobs working a half-day.
Skip if: you want a sociable beach-cafe atmosphere; you want full meals and table service; you want a casual hour-long coffee break (Corner Cafe is more pleasant for that).
