A real gem In Pa Khlok! This was one of the nicest most striking cafes/restaurants I have been too in Phuket in my more than ten years here. The food is good, very simple, with more Japanese dishes than anything. Also, good coffee. But the atmosphere is striking and there is a light breeze that goes all around the venue. Most of the books are in German but you can find books in English here and there and they have a GIANT selection. You can buy the books as well Lots of parking. Great for digital nomads, or anyone who wants to curl up with a book during lunch or coffee.
Food I am a simple man when I see bagels, I always order. And while it's not going to win the best bagel in the world award, it's very scrumptious and filling.... Just chewy enough. Their cream cheese and salmon bagels are good, and come with the requisite amount of red onion and capers. I have chicken ham, egg and cheese. Needed some ketchup but otherwise good.
The coffee was on point. The chicken karage was amazing. I have to come back to try the rest of their Japanese offerings based on the karage alone!
Service Really quick service. It's the type where you have to walk up and order at the register. They bring the food to you, and we got ours pretty quickly. They speak minimal English, but they do understand some. Either way, the menu is in English so it's easy to order.
Atmosphere. This is EASILY the biggest book shop in Phuket. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is massive, with books all around. Tons of nice seatings spots and nooks for reading and sipping coffee. There's also a hammock, ping pong table, foosball, and beautiful CeCe Nobre mural (local foreigner artist in Phuket) on one of the walls. It's a kind of mix of outdoor and indoor seating. And it's all one giant wooden bungalow. Simply beautiful. Also, very breezy with all the fans. Perfect place for some digital nomad...
Read moreNot only do I like it, I LOVE this hideaway. The space has super peaceful energy since I started walking in. Something about this place is enchanting. All the cats are cute and friendly. The food is delicious, the drinks are on point...come in a stainless mug which keeps the drinks cool all the time, how unexpectedly! The staff are smiley. Activities to do...I even made new friend at the cafe and played table tennis together. The sound of water stream is relaxing. There is hammock, cozy chairs, big, small table for one, for two, for 4...you choose it. A gentle breeze and green leaves everywhere. I LOVE everything. I needed everything this place provided so badly. I can't find atmosphere and vibe like this anywhere in Phuket where you don't feel touristy, where you can really sit and actually feel truly at Home and I haven't mentioned about books yet. You can rent the book without fee for a month. How incredible is the owner to put together ALL of this ❤️ Pure hideaway....I regretted didn't come to spend the whole afternoon. I will have to come back later to spend...
Read moreOpen air and surrounded by trees, this coffee shop and library is set back from the road about 50 m so the sounds of cars is washed out by the surrounding nature.
There are swings, hammocks, tables at perfect working height for typing on a comouter. Books of course are all around with a large selection of books in German found in their upstairs loft.
The food is great! Coffee is good as well, and they have a large selection of other drinks.
Oh right! And just in case you need, make a dentist...
