La Baguette Magique — Restaurant in Rawai

It is a little haven in Rawai. It opens really early, even before all other local eateries. Inside has got superb AC, nice comfortable sofas, outside has tables and comfy chairs with fan at every corner, there are bar table sitting too. If it is your first time, you tend to go inside first and you will be greeted by the beautiful petite Lucky the super energetic dog which is very friendly to everyone. I had tried the croissant breakfast set, the English big breakfast, the vegetarian breakfast and also croissant amandes, bauguette, they are all good but I prefer the vegetarian breakfast which has fruits and crepes, the crepes are the best, also the fried eggs are always done perfectly, for the English breakfast the sausage is nice but slightly more charred than I would like and the juice is not to my liking. For the croissant breakfast set, I think I prefer instead to eat croissant amandes which is not the way in France I know for a breakfast pastry. There are 4 staff we had met, 2 men and 2 women, they are all very nice, possibly one pair is couples that owns the place. There are a lot of sweets and cheeses and other chilled food for sale. Highly recommended if you are home sick for French food or want something more western...

I took a 500B taxi to get here after having thoroughly studied all options to get a French Butter Croissant in Phuket. Tho there are higher rated places, this is the one with the most reviews.

The croissant was great, tho it was a shame the staff had decided to nuke it in the oven (reheat it) and cut it up without asking. I would have prefered having it at room temp. Nonetheless, the staff offered to replace it but i refused, feels wasteful.

The hot americano coffee was actually nice too.

In contrast, my mother and i split the apple turnover in half and bit in: Sadly a very distinct and noticed absence of apple. [see pic]

Prices were on the high end and fillings / ingredients just felt a bit scarce to justify the price.

Still a great place, i hope they address my feedback cos i can't possibly be...

We were really disappointed by the attitude of people who work there. The owner is French and it seems that if you’re not from France, don’t expect a proper service.

The local women who works there (maybe owner’s wife) is very rude. She was throwing my card and didn’t take a payment by terminal. And then she just left, so the owner came and took the payment.

If you can’t treat people nicely, maybe to open a hospitality business is not a good idea.

Also, it took 50 min for them to make an avocado toast. And the place wasn’t full that time. And when the cafe is packed it takes ages to get your food. They definitely don’t have enough staff for an amount of guests...
