Cafe de Pao in Patong

Cafe de Pao in Patong, Phuket is a neat, laid-back café with thoughtful design touches — good-quality tableware, a cozy indoor area, and a calm outdoor seating space. It’s a pleasant spot to start the day away from the noisiest part of the resort.

The menu focuses on breakfasts and bowls. Their açaí and smoothie bowls come in generous portions, packed with fresh fruit and presented beautifully — one bowl is often enough to share between two or even three people. If you’re after something more filling, there are egg-and-bacon toasts, waffles, club sandwiches, burgers, fruit platters, and chicken porridge. The café also caters to lighter, “cleaner” eating as well as vegan options, such as a mushroom-and-avocado sandwich.

The coffee menu covers the essentials — cappuccino, iced coffee, and Thai tea — and drinks are served quickly and neatly. The place is clean, there’s a restroom, and the Wi‑Fi is very fast, making it a good choice not only for breakfast but also for getting some work done on a laptop.

Keep in mind that when the café is full, food can take longer to prepare and the service may feel unhurried. They open at 8:30, and there can occasionally be confusion about paid water, so it’s best to clarify your order right away.
