Coming Home Cafe & Seascape

Coming Home Cafe & Seascape is a small seaside café-restaurant on Rawai Beach, tucked away in a quiet waterfront spot. You can choose between an air-conditioned indoor dining room and outdoor tables right by the water’s edge. With the sea breeze, soft light, and boats on the horizon, it’s an easy place to slow down — especially in the late afternoon and toward sunset. It works equally well for a relaxed lunch and for taking photos.

The menu blends Thai favorites with more European-style options. You’ll find plenty of hearty mains, including massaman curry served with roti, fried squid (including versions with garlic and lemongrass), sea bass, chicken fried rice, pad kra pao, spicy salads, and fish curries. Desserts are pleasantly balanced rather than overly sweet — popular picks include a fruit cake, apple crumble, and a distinctive croissant waffle. Drinks range from Thai-style coffee and cocoa to sodas and matcha beverages.

Food presentation is appealing, and the generous portions can easily count as a full meal. Prices are in line with “resort Phuket,” but the setting helps justify the cost; just note that dishes can sometimes take a while to arrive.

One standout feature is the seaside painting area with acrylic sessions (paid activity), plus a small coloring corner. For celebrations, they can bring out a cake with candles and decorations. A few things to keep in mind: mosquitoes can be an issue outdoors in the evening; the indoor area may get noisy; and insects occasionally show up on the open terrace. During peak hours, service can feel less organized, and the best tables right by the water may be limited.
