Poached Breakfast Cafe – The Best Breakfast in Phuket
Let’s kick off our little breakfast adventure with these 4 little reasons you should visit us Poached Breakfast Cafe in Chalong.
1. Our Menu – Obviously
At Poached Breakfast Cafe Chalong, we are pretty chuffed with ourselves for always serving up near perfect Melbourne-inspired meals with a sprinkle of Aussie charm. Located at smack bang in the centre of the island, we are ready to treat your tastebuds at breakfast (or lunch!). From our island-famous banana bread to the Aussie classic smashed avo on toast, we’re serving up summer staples for you to enjoy. We even have a bakery right here on site so we can make sure you’re getting the crustiest, holey-est sourdough, the chewiest bagels, the fluffiest burger buns and the softest brioche. Definitely a winner for best breakfast in Phuket.
If you’re looking to add a little spice to your morning, try this spicy little number: our breakfast burrito. Packed with melty monterey jack cheese, zingy avocado salsa, our home made spicy sausage (or sub it out for pulled pork if that tickles your fancy) and smoky scrambled eggs, if you’re not already drooling, you should probably see a doctor…
Maybe you’ve had a big night and you’re looking for a big something to get you into gear – check out Big Al’s Brekky. Chorizo, bacon, spinach, roasted tomato, crispy hash browns and this out of this world tomato bush relish…mmmmm. That’ll do it!
We’ve got bagels, sangas (sandwiches), salads, burgers and waffles as well as a whole host of porridges, muesli, and fruity breakfast dishes.
Whatever takes your fancy, whether it’s a little bit of fruit or a little bit of bacon, we are proud to be serving up the best breakfast in Phuket.
2. The Best Coffee in Phuket
Coffee is an art form. Ask any fedora wearing, moustache twirling fella you see on the street (of course not all hipsters like coffee and not all coffee fanatics are hipsters. But it’s still a pretty safe bet…). Jokes aside, our coffee really is no joke and we take it incredibly seriously. Every machine is tested and recalibrated daily, our baristas are experts, taking time to perfect each coffee. From macchiatos to cappuccinos, our coffee is known for its thick foam and smooth flavour. Don’t miss out on our specialty coffee, the After Eight Iced Cappuccino, which will take your memories back to those chocolatey-minty treats of the same name. (Feels like Christmas, doesn’t it?)
3. Good Vibes
A good atmosphere is essential to any place.
Have any of you woken up bleary eyed and in need of a coffee on holidays? Maybe you’ve hopped in a cab or on your rental scooter and headed to a nearby cafe. And please for the love of everything good, why is there blaring dance music, neon lights and curt servers before you’ve even had the chance to have your coffee? NO THANK YOU.
That’s an experience you’ll NEVER have at Poached. Guaranteed.
Get ready for cosy decor, warm ambience, chill music and friendly staff who get it right every time. You can sip your coffee in peace here and wake up feeling fresh and ready for your day of sightseeing, work or whatever you might have planned. That’s why Poached is a rising star when it comes to the best breakfast in Phuket.
The Coffee Club
Another popular breakfast spot in Phuket is The Coffee Club. With spots all across the island, if you’re in a pinch, this is one you know will be clean and have some decent grub. With its clean interiors, minimal style and comfy chairs, its a safe choice to start your day. There are some great options on the menu including Western meals with a Thai twist, traditional Thai breakfasts such as Khao Tom and there are also some sweet breakfasts that always hit the spot. It might not win awards for best breakfast in Phuket, but it’s consistent and has some great coffee and that brings us comfort.
The Tent Phuket
Located right next to the picturesque Sino-Portugese buildings in Phuket Town, The Tent is a unique experience and a great choice for breakfast. You have the choice of sitting in or beside some adorable teepees on a raised platform. You can sit on cushions on the floor with a low table and really lean into the vibe. Or, if seats are more your thing, they have a row of tables with booth style seating. The breakfast dishes are always delicious, with loads of healthy options and big portions. Make sure you take cash here though!
