Drawing Room Coffee and Gallery

A Quirky Cafe on Phang Nga Road

Drawing Room Coffee and Gallery is one of those places you probably wouldn’t notice unless someone told you to stop and take a closer look. It’s right on the corner of Phang Nga Road, just a short walk from the famous On On Hotel in Old Phuket Town. From the outside, it doesn’t look like a café at all. The building looks more like a converted row of garages, and its graffiti-covered walls give off the vibe of an art studio or a vintage collector’s workshop more than a coffee shop.

But that’s exactly what makes it interesting. The street art wrapping around the outside might seem chaotic at first, but it reflects the personality of what’s inside—bold, colourful, and full of character. Once you step through the open shutters, the space opens into what feels like someone’s personal art studio and even living room, filled with mismatched furniture, low coffee tables, and vintage armchairs.

The coffee counter sits quietly among the clutter of antiques, paintings, potteries, and old toys. You’ll find Buddha statues next to globes, handmade figurines, and small shelves filled with quirky souvenirs. Some of the artwork is for sale, so it’s worth taking a few minutes to browse if you enjoy unique pieces by local artists.

People don’t come here just for the coffee, though it’s quite good; they come for the fun atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where no one is in a rush. Some guests sit and read, others chat with the owner, and a few just look around at the many curious objects on display. It feels personal and creative.

Drawing Room Coffee and Gallery is not your usual trendy café with clean lines and Instagram corners. But if you enjoy places with soul, you’ll probably appreciate this one. It’s a good reminder that Old Phuket Town still has some very real and unusual gems.
