BEST ENGLISH BREAKFAST IN THAILAND!! We've been travelling for 7 months now and this was just what we needed... a taste of home. From homemade sausages to real, tasty beans, we couldn't get enough and came back 4 days in a row! The pick and mix style means there are choices for everyone and every budget. A fantastic cafe run by a lovely couple and their super friendly dog

What a gem! If like myself you have been away from the UK for a while and have missed a good quality British breakfast, then this is the perfect place to visit. The food is amazing, homemade sausages and sausage rolls are incredible, not sure where else in SEA you would find better. I have included some photos of the choose your own breakfasts we had over the multiple visits. Unfortunately I didn’t take a picture of the roast dinner we had there this evening. But again, you would struggle to find a more traditional, good quality roast dinner in SEA. Everyone who works there is so lovely and the service is top tier. A must if you are visiting Koh Lanta.

Best English breakfast/ fry up in south east Asia. Would be very happy with this back in England, lovely owner and my iced coffee was delicious as well. Must visit if you love a good fry up. Choose all your own ingredients as well.

The breakfast was fantastic!! They offer a pick and mix ordering method which is a great way to personalise your meal to your own desires. The hash browns were the best Iv ever had and the portion sizes are perfect. Would definitely recommend!
