Popular cafés in Phuket Town and around
Phuket cafés and coffee shops keep popping up (and closing) all around Phuket Town, mostly around the old streets of Thalang, Yaowarat and Dibuk. In recent years, Phuket town has become a trendy tourist attraction and a fun photo playground, and as photographers and models seem to need frequent coffee breaks, cafés have just appeared by magic. With so many people wandering the streets in the sun (or the rain) all day, there was a market to grab.
The young generation of Thais knew what to do, and many of them had in common that old vintage look made of a bric-à-brac of colourful faux-old decoration. It doesn’t matter: people love them! In other countries, they might have called them ‘Bars’, but ‘Cafés’ was a lot more appealing, even though the main coffee shops listed below are bars. They serve cakes or meals and are an excellent addition to an exploration day.
Here are a few cafés and coffee shops in Phuket for you to start with, and we will keep adding them as we visit them.
In Phuket Town
Bookhemian
| Phuket Town |
Bookhemian is an iconic café in Old Phuket Town that has been around for many decades. It was originally a secondhand bookstore, back when reading played a bigger role in our daily lives, before social media made books feel almost obsolete. As a reminder of its roots, secondhand books still line the wide bookshelf on the ground floor, now serving more as decoration than items for sale.
Location: Phuket Town
Address: 61 Thalang Rd, Tambon Talat Yai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000
Hours: 8 am – 6 pm, Sat-Sun: 8 am – 10 pm
Phone: 096 193 4008
Khaotha Cafe
| Phuket Town |
Khaotha Cafe is one of those places that’s easy to miss but worth finding. It’s on Ranong Road, just next to Ranong Main Market (the central market) in Phuket Town — not far from where the old blue songtaew buses line up to take you to the beaches. Most people rush to Thalang Road with its colourful buildings and cafés, but this side of town still feels proper local.
Location: Phuket Town
Address: Ranong, Talat Nuea, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000
Hours: 7 am – 5 pm

Aungku Phuket Coffee Shop

MONDO Espresso & Tea Bar
| Phuket Town |
MONDO Espresso & Tea Bar is a popular new café in the heart of Phuket Old Town, at the intersection of Yaowarat and Thalang Road. For decades, this building was an old local shop.

Phone: 099 475 6846
Drawing Room Coffee and Gallery
| Phuket Town |
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.
Location: Phuket Town – Phang Nga Road
Address: 56 Phangnga Rd, Tambon Talat Yai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000
Hours: 9.30 am – 6 pm
Phone: 062 767 6565

The pudding they advertise is the most popular item on the menu and is very good.

Phone: 084 241 1463
Kopi de Phuket
| Phuket Town |
Kopi de Phuket, a very small restaurant, has made its name in Phuket Town for a while. It looks strangely familiar and serves some typical Phuket dishes in an eclectic decor, but what Kopi de Phuket does best is coffee in Phuket style. Kopi de Phuket, opened in 1999 on Phuket Road, is more of a restaurant. The decor is made of bric-a-brac from the sixties, the way old shops used to be, with a good touch of Chinese decoration. The place feels fun and cosy.
Location: Phuket Town
Address: 61 Phuket Rd, Tambon Talat Yai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000
Open: 8 am – 6 pm (Sundays 11 am – 9 pm)
Phone: 076 212 225
Kor Ra Kang Cafe
| Phuket Town |
Kor Ra Kang on Thalang Road is a giant pink floral café-restaurant in Phuket Old Town, and the main reason people stop here is the incredible pink flowers theme that would make Barbie feel at home. The entrance is tiny and almost hidden, but once inside, the place opens into a long hall with ceilings and walls fully covered in artificial blooms. Most guests come for the photos more than the food, using the space as a playful backdrop for selfies and reels.
Address: 11 Thalang Rd, Tambon Talat Yai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000
Hours: 9 am – 9 pm

Eleven and Two
| Phuket Town |
Eleven and Two is another favourite bar on Thalang Road. This place has been open for a few years and seems to have found the formula inviting. The front of the shop is widely open, with a couple of inviting seats on the terrace. You can browse a bric-à-brac of souvenirs, so people tend to stop and look. Once you walk in, why not have a drink, right?
Prices are also a little higher than usual. They also serve local craft beers, Chalawan and Chatri, for those who like craft beers. Craft beers seem to be the moment’s craze, but not mine. Chalawan starts fruity and turns bitter on the second sip. Eleven and Two also have air-conditioned rooms, which are much welcome during the hottest months, usually April and May.
