Cafe De Lard



Set behind Lemongrass CAFE DE LARD is a small but stylish coffee shop. Pop in here for a coffee or even better a refreshing fruit juice and you'll feel better instantly.

Stylishly decorated with air-con seating inside (a welcome relief from the morning sun,) the clientele is 100% Thai and so the drinks are mixed and priced accordingly. Most older Thais didn't grow up consuming the level of dairy products Westerns do and as such 'Coffee Mate' is regularly used as an inferior substitute. Thankfully here is a Thai coffee shop that serves a decent Cappuccino but at a price that leaves you feeling you got value for money (Take note Starbucks 180 baht for a Coffee is extortion in a part of the world where the average daily wage is 254 baht.)

Well run they also sell small homemade knick-knacks (postcards, key chains, notebooks etc ...) that make great gifts and tie in this modern building to the history of old Phuket  town.
