Poached Breakfast Cafe
First up, we have the island’s favourite cafe, Poached Breakfast Cafe. Poached is right on the main road in Chalong so we are easily accessible from anywhere on the island (winner winner chicken dinner). We have the cutest, cosiest Nordic-style decor with lots of soft lighting, rustic style wood tables, draped foliage and aesthetic shelves that are picture perfect. Don’t forget our giant sign in our side room which is perfect for the ‘gram or our outdoor graffiti wall which can add that edgy feel to your cafe pics. Poached really is the leader when it comes to finding a cute coffee shop in Chalong.
But, don’t just come here for the photos and the vibes, there is so much more! We have the INSANELY GOOD Melbourne-inspired menu that has something for everyone.
Our banana bread is a classic Aussie staple but, honestly, it’s island-famous for a reason. (The reason is deliciousness if you didn’t pick up what we were putting down!) It’s warm, soft, full of flavour and natural sweetness and takes you straight back to your mum’s kitchen in the very best way. (It’s like that scene in Ratatouille where the food critic gets transported to his childhood because of the flavour of the food – for all you Disney fans out there).
We’ve also got some super duper breakfast classics like smashed avocado and poached eggs on toast topped with flavourful roasted tomatoes that burst in your mouth. Or our customer favourite, Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict which is seriously the most indulgent and instagrammable breakfast ever! Ever ever!
It’s fresh made sourdough bread topped with slow cooked pulled pork shoulder, rich runny poached eggs, creamy hollandaise sauce, some grated green apple for some tartness to cut through all that rich flavour and all that is topped with fresh mint and pomegranate seeds for pops of freshness and sweetness. It’s a dramatic dish that looks pretty on the ‘gram too but also tastes REALLY good too! Not just pretty decor at this cute coffee shop in Chalong.
If you’re boarding the healthy train (TOOT TOOT!), we’ve got a load of impressive looking and tasting dishes. You’ll absolutely want to try out our chia pudding with fresh fruit and homemade granola, or our prana chai fresh fruit parfait! We’ve got a whole range of delicious healthy dishes, including our overnight oats topped with seasonal fruit and chocolate (yummmm).
If you’re looking for a bit more leaf to your meal, we’ve also got pages of salads for you to choose from. Our Cobb salad is delicious and a little more indulgent. You won’t want to miss our smoked salmon salad or our quinoa, feta and roasted pumpkin salad which is packed with flavour and healthy grains.
Don’t miss out on our flavourful sandwiches and burgers too which are top tier. With fresh made bread and stunning ingredients, you won’t be disappointed. We’ve also got this incredible halloumi bagel that is just loaded with yumminess and tastes perfect!
If you’re not feeling hungry, don’t sweat it friend! Our coffees are just as good as our food – aka unforgettable! We have perfected the art of coffee, something you’ll know after just one cup of our stellar coffee. We have amazing cappuccinos with this wonderful fluffy foam and this smooth but rich taste to it. Our macchiatos have the best microfoam and flavour that will just change your life. And of course, as we get nearer to Christmas, you’ll want to get your hands on our yummy After-Eight Iced Cappuccino, it’s super photographable and super delicious.
So, whether you’re visiting Poached Breakfast Cafe for photos, vibes, food or coffee, we really are the best cute coffee shop in Chalong.
Other places to visit if you can’t make it to Poached Breakfast Cafe
So, maybe you’re hungry after 4pm, once we’ve closed or for whatever other reason, you can’t make it to Poached today. Don’t stress too much pal, we’ve got a couple other places you can visit for those vibes and pics. So, without any further adoodly-doo, here is where you can find another cute coffee shop in Chalong.
Coffee D’Love
There’s a lot to love about Coffee D’Love: a great cute coffee shop in Chalong. They’ve got some gorgeous outdoor seating in bamboo tub chairs. Inside is cosy and moody with a lot of dark wood and brown leather chairs. Very old school hotel feels about this place. Their latte art is quite honestly immaculate and their coffees are rich and dark if that floats your boat. We don’t rate their hot food too highly BUT their pastries are pretty great. Their cinnamon rolls are American style and topped with sweet cream cheese and their chocolate twists are chocolatey and soft.
N&N Cafe’
While we aren’t quite sure if their name is a misspelling or a play on words, what we are sure of is that this cafe packs in the charm and doesn’t hold back. N&N Cafe’ is an adorable little outdoor cafe, with wild feels and an epic lake view. Their coffee is honestly, so-so but the aesthetic is pretty dang cute.
If you’re a nature fiend, you’ll love it here. It’s quiet, peaceful and rustically cool. They’ve even got a fire pit with a guitar – is anyone else ready to hear every millennial jump on the guitar and butcher Wonderwall? The prices are really reasonable (actually quite cheap) and it’s really stunning to sit outside here. A very good cute coffee shop in Chalong, that’s for sure.
162 Cafe
Featuring some industrial stye decor and a whole lot of vintage paraphernalia, 162 Cafe is perfect for you fedora wearing friends who love to be en-vogue. But seriously, this is a super cool cafe and hangout with relics of eras gone by. I’m talking some seriously old school tvs and radios, old bowling pins and other random tid-bits that contribute to the strangely cool feel of this cute coffee shop in Chalong.
They’ve got some great coffees and matches but the real star is their freshly baked sweets. I’m talking lemon meringue like your momma used to make, fresh sheets of warm cookies and don’t forget their delicious banana cake! I’m getting drool-y and fat just thinking about it!
So, where is the best cute coffee shop in Chalong?
If we haven’t stressed it enough, Poached Breakfast Cafe really takes the cake when it comes to being the best cute cafe in Chalong. Complete with adorable, cosy, Nordic-style decor, warm lighting, delicious food, amazing latte art and even a big ol’ Instagram sign – no cafe is more worth visiting in all of Chalong, and quite possibly all of Phuket! We’ve got the best food around and the sweetest staff team to make sure you start your day off perfectly. So, come on, what are you waiting for? Time to check out Poached Breakfast Cafe today!
