Papa’s House Coffee — Restaurant in Kathu

This coffee shop is an inspiring example of someone who has found their true calling by blending at least two professions: barista and graphic designer. Pi Not embodies his passion at the intersection of these talents. The coffee shop opened in 2006, a time when there were few places on Phuket to enjoy real specialty coffee. Initially, it was run by his wife, but later Pi Not himself dove into the world of coffee craftsmanship.

Pi Not is more than just a barista—he’s a guide into the universe of coffee. He’ll eagerly show you different varieties of freshly sourced beans from around the globe, prepare them using various methods, explain the nuances of flavor and aroma, and highlight the differences between the beans. His approach is not just skillful; it’s a deep exploration. For him, coffee-making is a science, intertwining chemistry, physics, botany, geology, and agriculture. He studies how every detail and chance occurrence—from the growth of the coffee tree to the processing of the beans—shapes the final taste in your cup.

Pi Not lives and breathes his craft. In his spare time, he visits coffee plantations, exchanges insights with like-minded enthusiasts, and searches for new ways to unlock the richness of flavor and aroma. His passion is contagious, and his knowledge is remarkable.

My wife and I had the chance to try three types of coffee beans: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Ethiopia. It felt like a little journey—each cup offered distinct impressions, and yet we only scratched the surface of their stories. Coffee here is more than a drink; it’s an experience that commands respect and leaves you in awe of its depth.

Visiting this place isn’t just a stop for a cup of coffee—it’s an invitation into the home of a man for whom coffee is an entire world. Approach it with respect: you’re not here for an ordinary drink but for a true coffee experience. Calling it a "temple of the coffee bean" might be a stretch, but it’s undoubtedly a "coffee sanctuary." Leave your worries at the door and immerse yourself in the art and science of coffee. I hope I’ve grasped the concept of this place correctly—if not, chalk it up to the so-called "human factor" or...

A Coffee Experience Like No Other, a Hidden Gem You Can't Miss.

If you're a true coffee enthusiast, this is not just another café—it's a journey, an experience you won't forget. Step into this majestic coffee shop, where every detail is crafted with care, from the beans to the ambiance. Here, you won’t find the overpriced, mass-produced coffee that floods many cafés today. Instead, you’ll be treated to the finest, real coffee—crafted with passion and expertise.

The highlight? The Pangakhon coffee I had was from Chiang Rai, sourced from a single mother’s family farm. This is more than just coffee; it’s a story in every cup. The beans are carefully nurtured by a family who has been growing them for generations, adding a unique, personal touch that sets this coffee apart from anything you’ve tasted before.

Roasted locally in Phuket by a skilled coffee designer with over nine years of experience, the result is a coffee that’s rich in flavor, smooth in texture, and full of character—nothing like the mass-produced brews you’re used to.

But it’s not just about the coffee. The café itself is an experience in and of itself—a beautifully curated space filled with lush flora, unique fauna, and Asian antiques that tell their own stories. The interior is a perfect blend of tradition and charm, with wooden accents and one-of-a-kind treasures that transport you to another world. It’s a family-run business that’s passed down through generations, and you can feel the love and care that’s gone into every corner of this place.

From the first sip to the final moment you spend in the café, this is an experience you’ll treasure. Come for the coffee, stay for the ambiance, and leave with a new appreciation for what truly exceptional coffee...
