Are you a sit down and sip kind of coffee drinker? Maybe you like to take it in slowly, wake yourself up, check out the view? Or maybe you’re an on-the-go kind of person. Believe it or not, even on the sunny holiday island of Phuket, you do get people who love to be on the go. Maybe you want to grab a quick coffee on the way to the gym, before a meeting, on the way to a day out or before you jump on a plane to go somewhere else. For that, you’ll need a takeaway coffee.
But who here knows not all takeaway coffees are made equal? That’s right, but don’t worry, we’ve rounded up the best places you can find the most delicious takeaway coffee in Chalong.

Poached Breakfast Cafe
Poached Breakfast Cafe is quite possibly the best and the most convenient place to grab a delicious takeaway coffee in Chalong. Located right on the main road, you can quickly stop your car or bike and grab a to-go cup that will blow your mind.
We are truly obsessed with coffee (have you ever dreamed about making coffee at night, because we do). We only use the most high quality coffee beans that have been scientifically roasted to perfection using the latest technology and research (it really is a skill and a science). All our baristas are highly trained experts who test and re-test the coffee every single day. I’ve never had a bad cuppa at Poached. Not once.
We calibrate our machines daily, test our coffee ALL the time, perfect the taste before any customers come in and make sure we store, grind, brew and serve our coffee in the most technical, scientifically-approved way. This means that we get the perfect brew every time. You and your tastebuds will be thanking us as you go about your day.
Did you know, though, that it’s also important to pick a coffee that travels well? Of course almost all iced drinks travel well, provided you don’t stay out in the infamous Phuket heat for too long.
But, a cappuccino usually has this wonderfully thick foam that is either velvety (yum) or dry (meaning it has big ol bubbles). What this means is, when you drink a cappuccino in our cafe, it’s balanced, fluffy, and thick BUT once you shove it into your travel mug and get shaking it around in the car or bike, it loses it’s foam and you’re left with a drink that tastes a little meh. If you want the perfect cappuccino, we’d suggest you take a moment to sip away in store.
Lattes are a little bit of a weird one, they do have a layer of milk foam that is about 1cm thick BUT because the delicious layer of microfoam (tiny bubbles) is so thick, you might lose a tiny bit of the air bubbles inside, but you’ll likely retain the rest. Juuuusstt try not to jolt your cup around too much or chuck it in the smoothie maker. It should survive a car ride, not a bumper car ride! It’s a great idea to grab a latte as an option for your takeaway coffee in Chalong.
Of course, an americano is a black coffee with no milk, so it travels well every time. Just order, and sip away! Yummm! Whatever you choose, we hope you’ll love the flavour and depth of our carefully crafted brews.
And, if you’re getting a little snacky, why not check out our menu? All of our food travels well, especially our banana bread! But if you can’t be bothered to cook (this is me, 100% of the time), then let us whip you up a delicious, wholesome meal that will make your tastebuds hit party town and keep you full all day. Yummm.
Where else can you get a takeaway coffee in Chalong?
If you’re too late to grab a coffee at Poached, since we shut at 4pm, why not check out one of these other places. You know we can’t leave you hanging without your caffeine fix!
.island
.island is a new cafe that has only opened in Chalong during the last few months within easy access from Market Village. With wooden decor, bright lights and big open windows, this modern and very aesthetic cafe is a great place to grab a to-go cup – especially if you’ve just been next door in Villa Market doing a bit of shopping! Cosy, cool ‘recording-studio’ style vibes and delicious coffee as well as rave reviews. This one is not a bad contender for top takeaway coffee in Chalong. They have some pretty nice pastries too so if you’re feeling sweet, why not grab one of those on your way out.
162 Cafe
We love the industrial, artistic vibe to 162 cafe. It feels very cool and you wouldn’t be surprised to learn that novelists and artists love to work from here (we don’t know that they do, but it wouldn’t be surprising…). With an eclectic mix of decor, including vintage TVs and collectible memorabilia from years gone by, this cafe certainly is unique. They also serve up super duper coffees to take away with you as well as some beautiful home made cookies, cakes and sweet treats. We’re a big fan.
Don’t forget to check out their food menu too if you’re feeling munchie, they’ve got some super food options here too. Their honey lemon iced coffee is a great choice for a takeaway coffee in Chalong. Would you try it?
Zigma Espresso Chalong
Zigma Espresso is a beautiful little minimalistic cafe with a clean bright, white interior. Their brews are expertly poured and very aesthetic – who doesn’t love a beautiful cafe? We know we do! Very modern and bright with comfortable chairs (if you do choose to sit) and some very posh cakes to go along with it. We prefer their iced coffee drinks personally; they’ve got great flavour and travel really well. It’s a great option for grabbing a takeaway coffee in Chalong and is located just off the main road.
The Caffeine Phuket
The Caffeine Phuket has got some really fantastic reviews and is a super place to grab a takeaway coffee in Chalong. With grey, industrial type decor and blue seats, it’s got this great aesthetic that is really visually pleasing. Plus, they specialise in coffee. They’ve got little packs of cold brew you can grab and chuck in your fridge for later on, or you can grab an iced coffee or a hot beverage if that’s more your speed.
They serve food too, but we think they’re better at coffee than they are at food (just our humble opinion). They’re very knowledgable about flavour profiles, so they can always help you find the perfect coffee for you. It’s a little more of an experience but it’s worth giving it a go. Would you?
