Cafe Phuket Viewpoint is built down a hillside above the sea on the coast road between Patong and Kamala, with seating on several levels so almost every table looks straight out over the water. Its terraces are cut into the rocky slope and joined by steep staircases, with Bali-style swings over the sea, a piano and dresses to rent for photos. Diners order and pay at the gate before heading down, and the lower deck takes the best angle on the sunset.

“The service is outstanding.”

Hern sits on Thaweewong Road across from Patong Beach, with a tropical-style room and outdoor tables facing the sand, serving everything from slow breakfasts to evening cocktails. The coffee program centers on V60 pour-overs, and the salmon toast comes on thick, airy, buttery brioche. Each table has a call button for service, and laptop workers can settle in for a couple of hours without anyone minding.

Phuket Ranked Top 3 Cafe, Patong 2026
10Named on only one list

Beach Bites cooks a long, light menu from 7 in the morning until 9 at night, from shakshuka with poached eggs and feta and salmon and spinach eggs Benedict to acai bowls and tuna teriyaki poke, with vegan and gluten-free choices throughout. The bright, air-conditioned room belongs to the Nap Patong hotel, a couple of hundred metres back from the beach on Rainbow Street. A juice bar, homemade gelato and fresh baking fill a grab-and-go counter.

“As someone who can’t handle a lot of oily/heavy food, I was so desperate for something fresh and healthy and this place definitely delivers.”

How the points work

We read every independent published best-of list we can find for the question. Each list gives 10 points for first place, 9 for second, down to 1 for tenth, and 5 points to each place on a list with no order. Points are added up. A business must be in the top 10 of at least two lists to be ranked. Rankings are never sold. Full method.

Award badges

Each business in the top 3 can show its Phuket Ranked award on its own website, free of charge. Ask and we will send the badge and add it for you.
