Koh Samui

Best Coffee in Koh Samui

Koh Samui has more specialty coffee per square kilometre than most Thai cities outside Bangkok and Chiang Mai - a side effect of long-stay expats and digital nomads in Bophut.

Tips

  • Coffee Project Samui and The Larder, the two strongest picks here, both sit in Fisherman's Village, Bophut's cafe cluster.
  • Coffee Project Samui rotates seasonal Thai single-origins, so the pour-over list changes through the year.
  • Sweet Sisters Cafe in Maenam runs the lowest prices here, 90-200 THB, and is geared towards long-stayers who want wifi and a full breakfast with the coffee.
  • Karmakamet Diner in Bophut sits at the top of the range (up to 280 THB) and doubles as a lifestyle-brand shop, so expect a wait for photos at busy times.
  • All four take walk-ins, so there's no need to plan around bookings — just factor in the short walk between the two Fisherman's Village spots.
