“The best coffee is black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel and sweet as love.” 

Tired of insipid and lacklustre brews? Here’s where to get the best coffees in Samui:

AROMA BOUTIQUE CAFE LOUNGE Choeng Mon

Aroma Boutique Cafe Lounge‘s quality fare promises to please. Sink your teeth into the tasty grilled paninis, or tuck into nutritious salads packed to the brim with wholesome ingredients. Cups of perfectly-made Italian coffees will hit a sweet spot with those who cannot do without their daily jolts of caffeine. Balance out the bitter flavours with something sweet, like the buttery apple pie, luscious Nutella cake or irresistible blueberry cheesecake.

BLACK CANYON Chaweng, Lamai, Nathan

Those yearning for a taste of Black Canyon coffee may satisfy their cravings at Black Canyon branches located within Tesco Lotus shopping centres at Chaweng, Lamai and Nathan, as well as the outlet at Xin City hotel along Chaweng Beach Road.

A myriad coffee varieties available on the menu means that caffeine lovers are spoilt for choice – will it be the European-style cappuccinos, espressos and lattes, or exotic brews with an Asian touch, like the red bean cha Thai frappe or red bean and green tea frappe?

Start your day with a filling breakfast main, add heat to your palate with the spaghetti with green curry sauce, or load up on much-needed vitamins and fibre by savouring an appetising salmon salad.
