Cafes & Bakeries

It is often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We hope you like our selection of venues to enjoy a Koh Tao breakfast. Our cafes and bakeries aren’t just places to eat; they are hubs for connection and community. Share stories with fellow travelers, make new friends, and savor the warmth of island hospitality. Koh Tao’s cafe & bakery scene is not just about what’s on the menu; it’s about the experiences and connections formed around the table. Each cafe and bakery is unique, reflecting the vibe of Koh Tao. From Sairee beachfront views to the “busy village” feel in Mae Haad, the ambiance is as inviting as the menu.

If you’re looking for Vegan & Vegetarian breakfast options we’ve got you covered in another section, please check it out!

Take Away

The venues below can all prepare your food & beverages for take-away, if you’re in a hurry it’s advisable to order ahead. With regards to ordering, most restaurants on Koh Tao mostly use good old-fashioned Facebook messaging. So you’ll need to find the restaurant’s fan page and make contact. Grab & Go doesn’t exist here as such, most cafes will make their sandwiches/ baguettes to order. Consequently, you find a much more personalised Koh Tao breakfast experience here than in most places.

Locations

All the main villages on Koh Tao have Cafes & Bakeries. One of my personal favourites is in Chalok Baan Khao, it’s called Mellow Submarine. Recommended breakfast dishes there are the Eggs Benedict with Bacon & the Berry Bowl, their coffee is also fantastic. Also worth mentioning is a new cafe that just opened in early 2024 called Summer Cafe. Summer Cafe has freshly baked muffins & homemade pork sausage rolls, the coffee here is amazing too.
