The best 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 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 Thai 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.

2. Coffs & Burgh
Coffs & Burgh is a beautiful café, souvenir, and antique shop found on Thalang Road in the heart of Phuket Town.

Coffs & Burghs set some Old Phuket town backdrops for visitors to take extra selfies! How smart! And it works.

Aungku Phuket is a café located in Old Phuket Town at the intersection of Thalang Road and Soi Romanee. It is designed to appeal to selfie lovers, with its Sino-Portuguese architectural style resembling the old shophouses in the area. The café’s exterior is decorated with mirrors and fake flowers, attracting people to pose for photos throughout the day and evening.

5. The Old Phuket Coffee
Old Phuket Coffee is one of the most popular bars in the old part of Phuket Town. They were an instant success for two reasons. First, they have a strategic location at the intersection of Yaowarat Road and Thalang Road. In addition to the golden spot, they made a great effort to decorate the bar in an old Phuket Style. Dark old wood with old radios and miniature Thai houses hanging on the walls. Outside is just as fun with old bicycles in front of the windows. Old motorbikes and photographs from the past make The Old Phuket Coffee an irresistible tourist magnet all day long until late.
The place is particularly busy on Sunday afternoons as it sits at the beginning of the Phuket Sunday Walking Street Market.
Prices are normal to high for this part of town. They serve a decent choice of Thai food, but unfortunately, it’s not Phuket food. A beer will cost you 70 to 90 baht, and a soft drink 35 baht. A coconut is 80 baht. Fried rice is 150 baht, and Pad Thai is 120 baht.

Location: 72/1 Yaowarat Rd
Phone: 099 475 6846
6. Eleven and Two
Eleven and Two is another favourite bar on Thalang Road. This place has been open for a couple of 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. Inside, you can browse a bric-à-brac of souvenirs, so people tend to stop and have a 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 it’s not mine. Chalawan starts fruity and turns bitter on the second sip. Eleven and Two also have aircon rooms, which are much welcome during the hottest months, usually April and May.
Eleven and Two
Location: Talat Yai, Phuket Town
Open: 10 am – 10 pm

7. Feelsion Café
Feelsion Cafe (not Feelston as some try to call it) is a beautiful and unusual coffee and cake shop found in a tiny alley near Sapan Hin, quite far from the historic streets of Phuket town. Full of vintage items, including a skeleton pointing at the toilets and an electric chair (I don’t think it was a real one, hopefully), Feelsion has an industrial mining look. Feelsion is bright and surprisingly large, with several rooms made of high windows. It seems to be a popular place with the upper class of Phuket.
Feelsion Cafe
Location: 445/1 Phuket Road (opposite immigration office) on the way to Sapan Hin
Open: 10.30 am – 8 pm
Phone: 083 181 9845
8. Rose Espresso
Rose Espresso is another tiny café opposite the Thai Hua Museum on Dibuk road. The coffee shop serves some beautiful cakes, waffles and other sweets. You can get an excellent all-day breakfast, too, including egg Benedict! Its cute vintage design with lots of flowers is what catches most people’s attention. Famous for its espresso, of course, but also its tea and smoothies. Don’t miss the cheesecakes and pancakes. It’s tiny, so we hope you have a seat left.
Rose Espresso
Location: 13 Krabi Road, Phuket Town
Open: · 8 am – 6 pm
Phone: 080 534 4964
9. Gaolad Café
A cool little place found just outside the historic streets of Phuket town, with a nice team, good coffee and casual Thai food. The design is mostly ‘faux run-down’, as young people like it in this part of Phuket Town. Their most popular dish is the Crying Tiger, a Thai beef sirloin steak with spicy sauce and grilled chicken. For the classics, you can always order a good old Pad Thai. The atmosphere is easy-going, maybe a bit slow, and they play jazz music in the background.
Gaolad Café
Location: 80 Yaowarat Road, Phuket Town
Open: 10:00 am – 00:00 am
Phone: 087 009 0280
10. Cafe’ In
Cafe’In
Cafe’In is probably one of the smallest cafés in Phuket town, just in front of the Thai Hua Museum. They are famous for their Thai milk tea and mango crepes but also their locally made jelly in honey syrup with fresh lemon desserts, a popular treat among locals.
