Big Cup Café, Rawai, Phuket

Big Cup Café in Rawai is a calm, easygoing spot for breakfast, coffee, or an unhurried lunch. The space is clean and comfortable, with a modern, inviting design: warm lighting, noticeable art touches, plenty of greenery, and a cozy terrace with a lovely view. There’s free Wi‑Fi for work or downtime, and parking is available behind the café.

The menu is designed to suit different tastes — from hearty meals to lighter and sweeter options. Breakfasts and brunch are especially well covered: avocado-and-egg toast, oatmeal with fresh fruit, and a build‑your‑own breakfast format. The main menu blends American‑style favorites with classic Thai dishes, including a well-executed pad thai and red curry, while the club sandwiches are a particular highlight. The borscht is also worth trying: the ingredients are served separately and then topped up with a rich broth poured from a neat little teapot — filling and pleasantly unusual. The menu is also suitable for guests looking for halal options.

Drinks are taken seriously here. Expect a strong coffee selection made with quality beans, creative coffee mixes (including Irish coffee), Thai teas, and matcha drinks, with desserts rounding things out nicely. The staff are attentive and friendly, service is usually quick, and prices stay reasonable. A couple of small notes: cashless tipping via QR/scan isn’t available, and the occasional mix‑up with orders is handled on the spot.
