World-class beaches on Koh Samui are what, along with its incredible nightlife, the island is famous for. But it's also full of lovely places to hang out with great coffee and fresh, tasty food during the day. When it comes to coffee, people are quite the connoisseur today, including backpackers, visitors and ex-pats, and so, correctly, the island has developed to accommodate this. Depending on the various kinds of coffee, environment and food that go along with the brown pick-me-up drinks, you will come to have your preferences. In all areas of the island, there are several high-quality coffee shops and stalls selling more Thai-style sweet iced coffees so that you can get a caffeine hit while enjoying the lovely 'cafe culture in a paradise setting.
To find iced coffee along with condensed milk, mini Nescafe espresso cans or a cappuccino straight up, you don't have to waste much time walking the streets of Thailand. A huge part of Thai life is the coffee scene nowadays.
Of course, if you're in one of the major tourist centres, you're never far from Starbucks. The world's national chains are popping up all over the place. Yet there are some unbelievable independent cafés as well. Be sure to try the freshly made, ice-cool coffees from the street vendors too!
Arabica beans are now the spinner of riches in Thailand, but the Robusta plant was the preferred bean at first. This is because farmers must rapidly clear large swaths of the rainforest to set up crops. As the coffee culture has grown and the quality has become more distinguished, the higher-yielding bean has fallen out of favour.
Today, Thailand's agriculture depends on the more exportable Arabica beans. The bean flavour is much smoother, sweeter and tastier than the Robusta. As the company expanded, more giant corporations started exploiting the land and farmers. Thankfully, more and more people have begun to see the benefits of transparent and fair trading. This means that more and more local producers receive adequate pay for their work.
The coffee Shop is located on the main street in Lamai, next to the Punch it Muay Thai Gym.
They offer a wide variety of healthy Western and Thai food options and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetable drinks. The coffee also sells Muay Thai products and vegan protein.
There is an air-conditioned indoor area and a viewing deck where you can watch the Muay Thai students practice.
The whole area is equipped with good WiFi, and you can always meet ex-pats and digital nomads to work there and get in touch with them.
There are three locations on the island for this French bakery, and their coffee is totally on point. Throw in that all of their cakes and pastries are as nice as anything you can find in France, and you are in for a serious treat.
Their food is very healthy and will draw you in, particularly for breakfast, but because it's fantastic, you'll want to stay for a couple of cups of coffee.
