    Some of the food we ordered was really good. However what spoiled the fun was their denial that they had given us an almond croissant that was either not baked properly or was stale. They refused replacing it - so I paid for another cream croissant which turned out really good - just proving my point that the one they gave us first was bad. Any good customer oriented restaurant makes reasonable amends for the food that is not up to the mark for a customer, but not here. And mind you this is not a cheap place, at least for breakfast. They lost a repeat customer with their customer-can-go-to-hell attitude. Edit after the response from the restaurant - Dear owners of the restaurant: you are making things worse for yourself with such a childish response. If you were mature, you would not resort to slandering your customer as "cheap". You are just proving to me and others who read your response that your customer service is truly abysmal. More power to you if personally demeaning someone gives you happiness. Coming to the factually incorrect statements such as "you ate it all". This was simply not true. Firstly, it was my young daughter who was eating it and not myself. Like most kids she cannot understand the cooking nuances. It was me who noticed the croissant wasn't good when she was halfway through. I showed it to you and you said that "it is made like that only". And then I sent the remaining half back saying that I do not want my daughter to eat this after you took no steps to replace it. This was what happened. The readers can decide for themselves which side of the story they would want to believe in. My review was quite fair - I praised most of the food if you care to read it with open eyes. And I rightfully criticized what was not good - the customer service. This is what an honest review is supposed to be.

    Was having daily breakfasts at Italian Job during my stay in Phuket. This place is great. Fast and attentive staff, great food. Granola and pancakes are amazing. Coffee is delicious. Highly recommend for breakfast or light meal.

    I had a fantastic experience at the Italian Job Cafe in Kata. The drinks are incredibly delicious, and the selection is extensive. The cappuccino is outstanding, and the food is heavenly, suitable not only for breakfast but any time of the day. The avocado toast with poached eggs is a dream, and the sandwiches are made with crispy italian bread. The cakes and pastries are also delightful and they are not only delicious but beautifully presented, as all the other dishes. If you're looking for a break from Thai food, the Italian Job Cafe is the perfect choice. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is of high quality. Highly recommended!

    We had breakfast here 2 days in a row and it was quite nice - the service fast and friendly, and coffee & food very good (at least 90% of what we tried, minus the omelette). Especially loved the muesli with fruits and the oat porridge with mango. Their brownie has an amazingly rich flavour as well 👌

Brave to try (Original) Il miglior bar della Thailandia, gestito da 2 sorelle italiane molto molto brave, a Kata ottimo caffè e cappuccino, ma anche varie scelte di dolci e drink! Brave da provare

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful cafe, which has a good coffee from a good coffee machine! Tired of the burda that is poured in local restaurants, this cafe was a direct outlet! (Original) Замечательная кафешка, которой есть хороший кофе из хорошей кофемашины! Устав от той бурды, что наливают в местных ресторанах, эта кафешка была прям отдушина!

    (Translated by Google) Nice place, make great coffee. Driving by, I visited this place a couple of times. The location is quite convenient, but without a gorgeous view. Pretty modest cafe, but energetic staff). If you like coffee, I recommend to visit (Original) Хорошее место, делают отличный кофе. Проезжая мимо, пару раз посещал данное заведение. Местоположение вполне удобное, но без шикарного вида. Довольно скромное кафе, но энергичный персонал). Если любите кофе, советую к посещению

    Three stars penalty. 1. Expensive 2. Mediocre Food quality/amount 3. Very loud next to noisy road. We had breakfast here. Coffee and eggs have been okay at best. The breakfast sets you can order include vast amounts of Toast but don't include any jam or similar. The locations interior reflects taste moderness and this Mediterranean style. Other than that you pay a lot for not so much. Can't recommend this place at least not for breakfast.

    Very tidy little coffee shop. I ordered a hot chocolate that was a little dear at 120 baht but couldn't be better for a hot chocolate. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the price.

    Stopped by this cute cafe for a cup of coffee and onion rings on the way back to Patong from Kata beach. It started pouring while we were here and they let us wait until the rains slowed down enough for us to ride back. Coffee is great! Stop by if you are in the area.

  • 4/5 Андрей �. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A year ago I would have put 5 stars. Now something is spoiled a little. I used to go to them specially, now there is no desire. Coffee is a great truth once again. From the barista depends. The main complaint is the bad internet they have. Generally bad. Earlier you will arrive, you drink coffee, communicate with friends on skype. Now does not pull the Internet. poorly (Original) Год назад я поставил бы 5 звезд. Сейчас что то испортились немного. Раньше к ним специально ездил, сейчас нет желания. Кофе отличный правда через раз стал. От бариста зависит. Основная жалоба стал плохой интернет у них. Вообще плохой. Раньше приедешь, пьешь кофе, общаешься с друзьями по скайпу. Сейчас не тянет интернет. Плохо

    Didn't get to stay long, but the coffee was really good and strong. The Italian owner (she even made the coffee) and staff were very friendly and considerate as well. I'd definitely check it out if you're in the area.

    Hands down the best coffee shop in town. Exquisite coffee made with the same Italian obsession you would find in Rome. Homemade cakes and pastry are delicious too. A true gem.

    Italian Job has super good coffee and great service (thank you Khun Kob!). breakfast favorites are poached eggs on avocado/sourdough, brownie, and the freshly made juices. I just realized there’s an ice cream shop next to it and can vouch for the yummy Manzoni ice cream!

  • 2/5 Angelo D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice Italian place. Good cappuccino. I had breakfast twice with cappuccino and brioche and I had the feeling that both times I was served a brioche the day before, however good. Prices as in Venice in Piazza San Marco (Original) Bel posto all'italiana. Buon cappuccino. Ho fatto 2 volte colazione con cappuccino e brioche ed ho avuto la sensazione che entrambe le volte mi è stata servita una brioche del giorno prima, comunque buona. Prezzi come a Venezia piazza San marco

  • 5/5 Dmitry Z. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great coffee at a good price (cappuccino 90 baht) pie 120 baht. Great menu - there are cocktails with and without alcohol. The only thing is no parking. A place nearby (on the left) there is some kind of enterprising Thai who requires money for parking at the exit (bike 20 Baht). Rates are written on the wall. (Original) Отличный кофе по хорошей цене (капучино 90 Бат) пирожка 120 Бат. Большое меню - есть коктейли с алкоголем и без. Единственное нет своей парковки. Место рядом (слева) там какой то предприимчивый таец требует за парковку деньги при выезде (байк 20 Бат). Расценки написаны на стене

  • 5/5 Philipp M. 5 years ago on Google
    Very delicious, authentic Italian coffee like for example Cappuccino. The Espresso beans and the coffee machine are imported from Italy. The restaurant is clean and the owner very friendly Italian guy who moved to Phuket. I went there everyday, as it is by far the best coffee around. Highly recommended.

  • 3/5 Ksusha R. 7 months ago on Google
    The food and the coffee is good! They serve the ice coffee with 75% ice, when later I asked for a second coffee with less ice I got 3/4 full glass and to fill it they wanted additional 50 baht🤣 Never happened to me before.

  • 5/5 marica p. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) recommended if you feel homesick for Italy, but even if you feel like exchanging a chat with the very kind managers. Obviously do not expect the Thai prices but when the nostalgia of croissant and cappuccino calls, mica you are watching the 2 euros .... (Original) consigliato se sentite la nostalgia di casa Italia, ma anche se vi va di scambiare 2 chiacchiere con i gentilissimi gestori. Ovviamente non aspettatevi i prezzi Thai ma quando la nostalgia di cornetto e cappuccino chiama , mica si sta a guardare i 2 euro ....

    Friendly coffee shop in Kata beach run by an Italian family.
