Poached Breakfast Cafe Rawai
First and foremost, without a doubt, the place with the best cafe menu in Rawai, is Poached Breakfast Cafe Rawai. Taking inspiration from the fresh tastes of Melbourne cafes, our menu is chock full of delicious breakfast, brunch and lunch items that will straight up knock your socks off. If you’re wearing any, of course, this is an island after all!
If you’re hungry for breakfast, you’ll want to check out our super duper takes on your favourite Aussie dishes. Try our yummy smashed avo on sourdough bread that’s baked fresh in our very own fantastic bakery in right above our sister cafe in Chalong. Or how about our sweet, flavourful, moist and warm banana bread that is out of this world?
You can’t go wrong with our absolutely pukka fry up that we’ve lovingly called ‘Big Al’s Breakfast’. It’s got all your classic fry up faves like beans, tomatoes, hash brown, mushrooms, eggs your way and big ol homemade sausages that are positively packed with flavour. I’ve got 2 words for you, “hubba hubba”.
Don’t sleep on our unbelievable pulled pork eggs benedict that is famous across the island for one reason and one reason only – FLAVOUR! Picture this: a thick, warm slice of freshly baked sourdough bread topped with slow cooked pork shoulder that just falls apart, all smothered in velvety hollandaise sauce and 2 rich poached eggs. Add some grated green apple for a bit of freshness and tartness and sprinkle some zingy mint and flavourful pops of pomegranate seeds on top. Are you drooling yet? We are!
Aside from this, we have all sorts of dishes to suit whatever mood you’re in. Wanting a taste of the healthy life? Try our quinoa power bowl, prana chai parfait, chia pudding and lots more. Or how about our scrummy roasted pumpkin, feta, quinoa, beetroot salad drizzled with balsamic dressing? With healthy wraps, tasty sandwiches and not to mention our famous halloumi bagel – you’ll be spoilt for choice! Do you believe us yet about having the best cafe menu in Rawai? No? Don’t worry, I’ll keep going!
Now, let’s not forget our ‘naughty’ menu with 3 different burgers stacked high with the very best ingredients and topped with a creamy egg (we’re nothing if not consistent with our theme). We’ve also got sweet treats like our French toast stack and our 2 different flavours of waffles from ‘apple pie’ to ‘strawberry delight’. You won’t want to miss our breakfasty burritos and our creamy, ranch dressing smothered, blue cheese filled chicken Cobb salad that is more cheese board than salad (helloooo sailor).
Honestly, whatever you order, your tastebuds are about to have a field day because these flavours are ‘off the hook’ as the kids say. (Do they say it? I don’t know anymore!) And we haven’t even talked coffee yet. Our drinks menu is more than ample with lots of different types of coffees, teas, smoothies, shakes and protein drinks for you to choose from.
Our baristas are experts at what they do and they quite literally eat, sleep and dream coffee. They de-gas, store, grind, and brew our coffees with complete precision and incredible technique so each cup tastes absolutely perfect. Our cappuccinos are frothy, foamy and fantastic, our lattes are smooth and rich and our iced drinks taste fresh and delicious. As we head a little closer to the Christmas season, why not try our iced after eight cappuccino – chocolatey and minty fresh, just like our fave Christmas choccies!
So, there you have it. That’s why we have the best cafe menu in Rawai (and possibly in Phuket but that could be a teensy bit of bias coming in there).
Other contenders for the best cafe menu in Rawai
Ok so Poached Breakfast Cafe Rawai takes the cake officially when it comes to having the best cafe menu in Rawai. But, what if you need a little change of scenery? No worries, here’s some other contenders (or should we say, runner-ups) for the best cafe menu in Rawai. Ready? Let’s do this!
Avo Kitchen & Wine Bar
A little more Nai Harn way, Avo Kitchen & Wine Bar serves some really great food and even better wine. I’d say the vibes are just about average in the day but once its nighttime, things really start getting good. They’ve got kind of a weird array of food from classic European dishes, to seafood, to burgers and even poke bowls. They’ve also got a few thai dishes thrown in there for good measure. It’s a weird menu but the food is pretty good and their atmosphere, decoration and vibes are fantastic.
What makes them a contender for us, is their absolutely brilliant wine menu which they do really well. If you love a cheeky cab sav or any other glass, just ask for a recommendation from their great bar staff.
Woodstock Rawai
Woodstock Rawai is a solid contender for possibly having the best cafe menu in Rawai for those lovers of fresh Japanese inspired cuisine with a load of raw stuff! There’s a huge range of sushi, poke bowls, asian snacks, Japanese style meat dishes and even ice cream sundaes. They’ve even got sushi burritos! If you’re pregnant, you should probably steer clear, it’s a little risky for our pregnant gals out there.
But, it’s got some really great, backpacker-y vibes with lots of natural decor and plants and comfy chairs. And if you’re a sushi fan then you’ll get why this spot is a great runner up for best cafe menu in Rawai.
