One of Chiang Mai’s famous dessert cafes, Cheevit Cheeva, is now serving coffee lovers in Phuket. Of course, that means they’re bringing over their signature Salted Egg Yolk Bingsu, a salty Korean-style dessert with shaved ice and sweet toppings.
It’s an irresistible marriage between sweet and salty flavor layers you can’t afford to miss. However, while Cheevit Cheeva is more famous for its bingsu, it doesn’t mean you won’t find their drinks, like their specialty coffees, interesting at the very least.
Whichever coffee you choose, it will pair well with their wide range of toasts, cakes, croffles, and yes, bingsu!

Costs: $$
Eleven Two & Co. is a hidden gem in Phuket that most tourists will probably miss since their seats and tables are hard to spot from the road until you walk into their shop.
But don’t be fooled. This cafe is a treat even when its front shop sells clothes, souvenirs, and other items – a standard arrangement distinct among the coffee shops in Old Phuket Town).
Once you’ve found the place, its signature soft mango crepe, which pairs well with coffee should be worth the trouble. Well, the place is armed to the teeth with air conditioning to combat the prickly heat, but there’s one caveat: the prices may bite.
Pro tip:
Grab their famous craft beer at Eleven Two & Co to cool off. But don’t wonder if the Chalawan pale ale gets bitter as you sip—it’s meant to.

Address: 83/1, Patiphat Rd, Phuket 83000
Contact Number: 065 461 9789
Operating Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 11:30 AM to 9:00 PM
If you’re looking for a more sophisticated experience in Phuket, we recommend checking out Chacacao. Although it operates more like a bar, this shop has some short-order food that cafe-goers would enjoy.
In particular, Chacacao specializes in tea, with its signature being a premium tea served in an elegant bottle and poured in a glass with flames of gold. Although this aromatic tea isn’t too sweet, it features an intense flavor.
Moreover, you’d be flushed in vintage architecture here as that’s how Characao is designed. It’s not as spacious as its counterparts but quality beats quantity here as the food is delicious and served by a most hospitable staff.
Pro tip:
Try their flavorful Thai tea and match it with hot chocolate for an unforgettable pairing.
Coconuts Café
Media from coconutscafe
Address: Chalong, Mueang District, Phuket 83000
Contact Number: 081 271 0644
Operating Hours: Thursday to Tuesday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Costs: $$$
If you ignore the sign outside, you’d think Coconuts Café is only a tiny house at the center of a spacious garden surrounded by coconut trees. However, that’s most likely why its guests love to frequent this place.
After all, there’s nothing better than a cafe serving good food and drink that makes you feel at home while you’re away. Coconuts Café serves breakfast and lunch, finishing the day with afternoon snacks and tea.
It’s in the South of Phuket, situated in the somewhat diminutive lane of Chalong. It may just be a small house that’s supported by stilts, but it’s a worthy find if you want to have jaw-dropping beautiful natural landscapes while sipping a hot cuppa.
Pro tip:
Order Khao Soy or Krapow Moo if you’re looking for authentic Thai cuisine. Just note that they’re designed to be spicy, as most Thai foods are.
