Do you tip at cafés in Indonesia?
Short answer
Round up
Leave the change, or a 10,000 note.
OptionalCash preferred
Bali's café scene has adopted tip jars, but nothing is expected. Leaving 5,000–10,000 rupiah is a friendly gesture.
Cash or card?
Card terminals rarely have a tip option. Tip in cash rupiah; small notes are far more useful than large ones.
