Phuket is home to many great coffee and cake shops, particularly in Phuket Town. The selection ranges from simple patisseries to chic and sophisticated coffee houses, with exotic selections of beverages and snacks available in elegant surroundings. Some have a more bohemian approach and combine relaxing with a hot drink and a sweet snack with reading a good book. They all provide a welcome break from exploring Phuket Old Town.
With its large French expatriate community and historical European influences, the pastries available at the best coffee and cake shops in Phuket are effectively unrivalled throughout Thailand. The cakes, in particular, show a great flair for creative baking and are as beautiful to look at as they are divine to taste. If you need somewhere to rest your travel-worn feet for a few minutes and recharge for another blast of exploration, the places below are ideal for you.
