The 10 Best Afternoon Tea Spots That’ll Turn a Break Into a Treat!

I have to admit, I was never much of a tea drinker—unless you count the occasional Thai milk tea. But that changed when a friend dragged me to a hotel with a gorgeous view for afternoon tea. I thought we would go to a bar but everything worked out in the end.

Not to be dramatic, but the moment that towering tray of scones, pastries, and tiny sandwiches arrived, I knew I’d been missing out. And the tea? Let’s just say floral blends are now on my radar.

Since then, I’ve been on a mission to find the best afternoon tea spots in Pattaya, and after plenty of tastings, here are our top picks.

Oort Cloud Tea Room

Oort Cloud Tea Room isn’t merely afternoon tea—it’s an experience. Nestled with Grande Centre Point Space Pattaya, it goes all-in on the theme but never comes across as cheesy. The design is sleek, bright, and modern, with enormous windows flooding the space with natural light.

The afternoon tea assortment? A good combination of dainty pastries, savory morsels, and desserts that border on being too beautiful to be eaten. The black sesame choux and the smoked salmon tart stood out, but the surprise packet was the honeyed scone.

Their tea choices run from traditional Earl Grey to more floral and herbal teas, all presented with the sort of attention to detail that makes the entire experience feel special.

Quick heads-up: prices are on the upscale side, but it’s a full afternoon experience, not a snack.

Pro tip:

For the best views, request a table by the windows. And if you don’t like tea, they have a decent iced matcha that goes well with the pastries.

Drift by Hilton Pattaya

Afternoon tea at Drift, Hilton Pattaya is all about the view. Sitting on the 16th floor, you’re suspended above the ocean, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing a front-row seat to Pattaya Bay.

We love how their afternoon tea has gourmet pastries, classic scones, and savory bites, all beautifully laid out on a plate. You see, the mango tart and coconut mousse are really like a little kiss of tropical flavors, while smoked salmon and truffle egg sandwiches add a richer spin.

Pair it with one of their premium loose-leaf teas, or if you’re feeling extra, they have a champagne upgrade. It’s not the cheapest afternoon tea in town. Still, the quality, setting, and overall experience make it feel like a treat rather than just another meal.

Pro tip:

Window seats are ideal, but they book up fast—book ahead. If you time your visit during sunset, you’ll get golden hour light with your tea, which makes everything (and your photos) look even more stunning. 

Dusit Thani Pattaya

Dusit Thani Pattaya looks like an oasis refuge from the busy city life. The hotel’s Dusit Gourmet cafe is snug within and features a conservatory facing the garden which keeps it quiet.

It’s a delightful experience— scones with jam and cream, finger sandwiches, and a revolving set of pastry items that feel carefully made, not just added in for looks. Speaking of pastries—we like that it’s on the not-to-sweet side.

And naturally, there’s also the option to get coffee if you’d rather. The whole setup is elegant without being excessive, and for what you’re paying, it’s a good bargain given its meticulous preparation and stunning environment. 

Pro tip:

If you’re going to indulge in the afternoon tea, get there a bit early to wander around the hotel’s lovely gardens or stroll slowly around the adjacent beach.

Royal Cliff Grand Hotel

There’s something proper about afternoon tea at the Royal Cliff Grand Hotel. Maybe it’s the show-stopping ocean views from the Panorama restaurant or the sunlight’s way of catching the Gulf of Thailand in just the right way. 

The food is also well prepared. Instead of just filling a three-tier stand for show, every bite satisfies! Scones are freshly baked and warm, accompanied by liberal clotted cream and fruit preserves—and the sandwiches can’t be overlooked too since it’s quite substantial.

And then there are the pastries, which are light and meticulously made. Not to mention, service here is at a relaxed pace, you won’t feel rushed as you enjoy your afternoon tea.

Pro tip:

For the ultimate experience, book a table on the patio. The sea breeze makes all the difference, and by late afternoon, you’ll have front-row seats to one of Pattaya’s finest sunsets.

Mera Mare Hotel – Pastry Addiction

Right off Beach Road, Pastry Addiction has a modern but comfortable feel—no stiff formalities, just an easygoing space where you can take your time. The tea set is well designed, with warm scones that have a nice bite, complemented by clotted cream and homemade strawberry. 

We can’t leave out the finger sandwiches—simple but fresh, and the pastries lean more towards delicate rather than overly sweet. There’s a nice selection of Ronnefeldt teas to go with it, ranging from deep and malty to light and floral, so there’s something for every mood.

For those who want to take things up a notch, the Bubbly High Tea option adds a Bottega Prosecco, making it perfect for a celebration—or just a reason to linger a little longer.

Pro tip:

If you prefer your tea strong, ask for an extra tea bag on the side, as some blends can be on the lighter side.

Elements Restaurant by InterContinental Pattaya is an easy spot to get comfortable with for afternoon tea, with a relaxed, modern atmosphere and hints of Thai spice. The interior is light and plain, yet with enough personality to keep it interesting.

The tea service here is simple but done well: warm, flaky scones with homemade jam and clotted cream, delicate finger sandwiches, and sweet pastries that never feel heavy.

They’ve got a great tea list as well—think bold black teas, calm herbals, and everything in between—so you can likely find something that fits your cravings. What stays with you though is the service: friendly and attentive, but never pushy.

Pro tip:

Ask them if they have any seasonal specials when you stop by—you may be able to catch something cool that mixes things up from the usual food items.

Tea Factory and More – À La Campagne Pattaya has a cozy countryside feel, even though it’s nestled in the middle of Pattaya. The space leans into rustic charm like natural wood finishes and lots of leafy plants, giving it a laid-back vibe.

We like how the afternoon tea set mixes familiar favorites with a few creative twists. So, it’s best to ask about their specials or new arrivals, especially since they acquire their tea from various places.

And to keep things interesting, their tea menu includes both staples and seasonal picks, which is great if you’re after freshness.

Pro tip:

Show up a little early to grab a table with a view (the garden nooks are especially nice) and take a stroll or some photos around the property’s green, peaceful corners before settling in.

Afternoon tea at The Zign Hotel Pattaya is a nice break from all the buzz around you. The lounge has a relaxed, artful touch—a contemporary design softened by natural light and cute details.

The tea set features freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, paired with finger sandwiches and pastries. With a range of teas that span from robust classics to lighter, floral blends.

It’s also smart to call ahead to see if there are any seasonal twists on the menu—the offerings often change and can surprise you.

Pro tip:

If you’re driving, keep in mind that parking may be limited during rush times, so mapping out your trip or using public transport can be a time-saver.

If you’re after an afternoon tea that feels like a mini getaway, Ruen Thai at Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach might be a solid choice. Think teakwood teahouse tucked under the shade of ancient banyan trees. 

And again, scones arrive with clotted cream and a house-made jam that’s subtly spiced—maybe a whisper of lemongrass or kaffir lime. We can’t forget about the finger sandwiches and pastries like the mango mousse tart and a pandan-infused macaron.

The tea list isn’t an afterthought, either. They’ve got everything from Chamomile Blossoms to Sencha Fukamushi, and the staff happily guides you if you’re torn between, say, a jasmine green tea or a zesty ginger-turmeric brew.

Pro tip:

For the smoothest experience, call ahead during peak periods to secure a preferred spot—especially one with a view of the banyan trees.

The Living Space Club Lounge at Mytt Beach Hotel Pattaya

Menu

The Living Space Club Lounge at Pattaya Mytt Beach Hotel is a pleasant option for afternoon tea, particularly if you want something casual without too much grandeur. The area is cozy, with lots of natural light and a trendy coastal vibe—nothing too flashy.

And then there’s the afternoon tea, the presentation of which includes all the bases: fresh scones topped with (yep, you guessed it!) clotted cream and homemade jam, finger sandwiches, and an assortment of pastries. 

Not to mention, they’ve got a good variety for their tea menu, from strong traditional brews to lighter floral varieties.

Pro tip:

If it’s your first time, double-check if your booking includes lounge access since it’s usually for club-level guests. Also don’t skip asking about any off-menu treats—sometimes they have special pastries that aren’t listed.
