Cafes, Coffee and Bakeries in Phuket Old Town and Beyond: Prices and Hours
Phuket Old Town is the island's best-known cafe district, with specialty roasters in restored shophouses. This page summarises typical prices and hours from cafe guides. Opening hours change often, so check before you go. Reviewed in November 2026.
Old Town
Guides describe a walkable loop of independent cafes around Thalang Road, Yaowarat Road and Dibuk Road, with names such as Campus Coffee Roasters, Graph Coffee, Dou Brew and Bookhemian recurring. Many Old Town cafes close by about 6pm, and seating is tight in high season, so arrive before 10am or after 2pm. A French-owned bakery on Thalang Road is described as a long-standing local favourite.
Beyond Old Town
Cafes with work space cluster around Bang Tao and Cherng Talay, beach cafes line Kata and Karon, and Rawai and Chalong are described as good for sunrise coffee. See the coworking and cafes guide for work-friendly options.
Prices
A cafe guide gives an average coffee at about 90 to 180 baht and an average cafe spend of about 250 to 700 baht a person, with beach and resort venues costing more. Specialty filter coffee often sits at 120 to 250 baht. Compare with the cost of living guide.
Tips

- Many cafes offer plant-based milks and vegan food. See the vegetarian and vegan guide.
- Keep Old Town visits for mornings and see the Old Town guide for the Sunday market.
- Heat and rain both make cafes a good refuge. See the rainy day guide.
