Runway Café and Bar is a neat, well-kept cafe just minutes from Phuket Airport — only a short drive to the terminal. People often stop by on the way there, grab a quick bite before a flight, or sit down for an unhurried lunch. Parking is convenient, and the space feels clean, fresh, and new.
The menu blends Thai and international dishes. Food is tasty, nicely presented, and served on pleasant tableware. Portions and quality match the price, which stays reasonable — there’s no sense of “paying extra just for the location.” The coffee is solid as well, so it works well for a simple coffee-and-snack stop.
The interior is designed for relaxed waiting, with a cozy atmosphere enhanced by a small fountain area that can be enjoyed both indoors and outdoors, adding a touch of coolness and calm. Service is friendly and fast, and the staff are attentive without making a fuss.
A couple of things to note: at times the music can be quite loud, and staff conversations may carry into the dining area — so if you’re looking for a very quiet spot, it’s worth keeping in mind. Also, the café isn’t always easy to find via online search, so it’s best to navigate by its proximity to the airport.
