Poached Breakfast Cafe
Without a shadow of a doubt, Poached Breakfast Cafe is the winner when it comes to the best coffee beans in Phuket. We use only the best beans that have been perfectly roasted using the latest scientific research in coffee roasting and are packed full of delicious flavour. Then we store them carefully and grind them to the perfect consistency – it’s actually a really involved process. Our expert baristas spend lots of time training and perfecting their craft as they brew the perfect cup of coffee using the best coffee beans in Phuket that we source from the one and only Coffee Lab.
We have some spectacular coffees, if you don’t mind me saying so. I would go so far as to say that we’ve got THE best coffee on the whole island. From the perfectly brewed cups to our skilled baristas who foam the milk to perfection, topping every milky drink with the precise size of foam (from microfoam to macrofoam), and the most amazing coffee art. I’m talking clouds, umbrellas, birds, dragons and lots more. Our baristas are famous for their creative drink toppers. We take the best coffee beans in Phuket and turn them into the best coffees in Phuket. Who here knows the two don’t always go hand in hand? But don’t worry, at Poached, THEY DO!
So, that’s the coffee but now let’s talk food. Because, who doesn’t love a cafe that has it all? We have an amazing Melbourne-inspired menu with everything from breakfast favourites to lunchtime plates that will treat your tastebuds to a real good time.
If you’re here for breakfast and brunch (can my brunch pals shout out “OHHH YEAHHH”), check out some of our classic Aussie brekkys that just don’t sleep on flavour. Try our island wide famous banana bread which is moist, not too sweet and full of yummy banana-y goodness. Our avocado toast with roasted tomatoes and poached eggs is another winner winner chicken dinner. Or jump on our breakfast burritos and wraps which are so delicious.
Our personal favourite, and our customer fave too, is our pulled pork eggs benedict. Slow cooked pork shoulder, creamy poached eggs, rich hollandaise sauce, grated green apple and pomegranate seeds on a thick slice of freshly baked sourdough. Heaven is really real, let me tell you, folks. This isn’t it, I mean, but it’s pretty dang delicious.
For our healthy breakfast folks, we’ve got our quinoa power bowls, our killer chia pudding with fresh fruit, our brand new overnight oats, fruit parfait and lots more.
We make all our bread fresh in our on site bakery and let me tell you, it shows! Try one of our superb sandwiches or bagels which have the yummiest fillings that we have worked on getting the best flavour balance in every single one of them. Our Holy Halloumi bagel is to die for – not literally, but also….maybe? It’s really that good. And we have these amazing Italian style sandwiches and sandwiches stuffed with brie cheese if you’re a cheese lover like us – yahoooo!
Lunch crowd, there’s more to us than breakfast, despite our name. We’ve got a huge array of fresh, flavourful salads like our greek salad, our chicken Cobb with blue cheese dressing and our famous Caesar salad. Of course, there’s the aforementioned sandwiches and bagels and for those of you looking for something a little naughty, we’ve got some great burgers you can try – including a vegetarian option! Delish! So, whatever your mood, we’ve got the food.
