Maybelle's Coffee Garden - Restaurant & Cafe

Maybelle's Coffee Garden – Restaurant & Café in Phuket is tucked away on a hillside, surrounded by lush greenery. You reach it via a steep uphill road — taking a taxi is the easiest option, as the walk is quite a trek. At the top, you’re rewarded with a calm, secluded spot: a well-kept garden filled with flowers and Thai-style décor. The standout feature is the garden waterfall — the sound of running water, birdsong, and fresh air creates a surprisingly “cool,” tranquil atmosphere that feels rare on the island, especially for a slow morning.

The café is best known for breakfast and brunch. They serve a proper English breakfast with familiar staples — bacon, sausages, Heinz baked beans, ketchup — and even a teapot of tea. The menu also includes Spanish tortilla, a potato-and-egg skillet, American-style pancakes, bagels, bowls and granola, avocado-and-egg toast/sandwiches, smoothie bowls, milkshakes, and fruit smoothies (including berry options). Lunch leans more toward Thai cuisine, with meat-free choices available; some items are brought in via delivery.

The coffee deserves a special mention — bold, strong, and full of flavor — and they do Thai tea well too. Both the indoor area and the grounds are clean, seating is comfortable, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Service can be a little slow at times, and a few items may feel slightly pricey, but the overall experience stands out for the food quality, the neat setting, and the rare sense of quiet.
