    Nice bookworm type Cafe. Really nice vibe with the books and decor. Also a good place to work. Ordered an iced Latte but got hot instead. Didn't bother making a stink as the place was busy. Staff are friendly. Street parking available.

    While taking a walk down the roads of Old Town, Phuket we came across this coffee shop. The rustic look of the shop was an instant attraction. Loved the vibe of this place. The aroma of coffee and it's taste is a ✨✨✨✨✨. Do visit this place and have some awesome snacks and coffee.

    This café is my favourite one in Phuket. The interior, which is a mix of café, atelier and cozy co working place makes you wanna stay there all day. The espresso was good in structure and shockingly distinctive and beautiful. The lack of English makes it a bit hard to communicate, but that’s not a deal breaker. Go give it a try!

    Fasinate Atmosphere by Book Shelf where fill with thr reader like, But the taste of coffee need to improve. My cup is Dirty Coffee that not smooth like it should be. The Coffee shot on topping and milk and cream too contrast.

    This is a cute, modern coffee shop with great little offerings for the casual visitor, while offering a reprieve from the heat to those looking for a quiet place for work and refreshment. Walk to the back for some wine and modern art, as well.

    Trendy coffee shop in old Phuket town. They offered English breakfast tea (best I had all holiday… I know, so British of me to say) and a unique latte with a charred marshmallow topping. The decor is stylish and perfect for bookworms.

    The taste of the coffee was good. The blueberry crumble was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    A quaint industrial-style cafe along Thalang Road with lots of books and a largely coffee-based menu! Pretty nice place to chill and take lots of photos.

  • 5/5 Shivani R. 3 months ago on Google • 35 reviews New
    Cozy vibe, peaceful place, surrounded by books and a cup of coffee. This place is indeed a must try. Love the interior.

  • 5/5 Sonia T. 8 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Lovely book-themed cafe that has a great selection of coffees. Dessert was great - not too sweet. A quiet place to escape the bustle and heat of Phuket old town.

  • 5/5 Picky E. 5 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Awesome place with great coffee for most demanding customers. The space if filled with vibe and details they put into this place. We’ll visit it every time we are in Phuket. Thanks being there for us!

  • 5/5 saydoppa 10 months ago on Google
    The place located in a prime location, right in the heart of Phuket Old Town, decorated with the books that was so charming Dirty and cake taste really good, nice vibes, we really had a good time there. If you looking for a cafe to chill and catch up or to get some work done, this might be one of the place in Phuket Town I would highly recommend

    Awesome cafe, with hipster-level taste without any of the obnoxiousness—they totally balance it out with the friendly Thai-chilled vibe. ☕️☕️☕️ They serve great coffee. ☕️☕️☕️ Great interior, stylish design. ☕️Oh, and did I mention that the coffee is REALLY GOOD? ☕️ Another reviewer mentioned there's not a lot of seating available—I think she didn't know that the little door in the back leads to an entire open space in the back with plenty of seating. ☕️In case I haven't mentioned it yet... the coffee is LIT! ☕️ 🍞We had their breakfast (see pic), which was great. Nice bread, quality butter (not the butter-imitation stuff from Allowrie or Imperial you typically get in Thailand). Eggs were perfect. Bacon nice. Good sausage too. The Mango lassi was awesome, rich, creamy, full of mango flavor. 🥐The croissant came with a little pot of honey, which was awesome, and was warmed up (although it was a bit too chewy). 📶Solid WiFi! 👩‍🎤👸🤵The crowd coming by here is nice too, at least during the couple of hours I spent here. ☕️And just in case this escaped your attention... the coffee here is really solid! 😝☕️

    At the entrance is a bit crowded so when you sit at the window it can get a bit uncomfortable. But otherwise the place is cute, nice and the ambient with the books make it very special

  • 4/5 Lawrence A. 6 years ago on Google
    A nice little place to grab coffee and a bite to eat. They serve breakfast all day and everything is made fresh. Try their eggs Benedict ! The front of the cafe is small, but they have a back section with more room.

    Used to be my favorite and everyday coffee place at Phuket town. Very sad the coffee now not as good as it use to be.😪

  • 4/5 tony w. 9 months ago on Google
    Unique setup. The front of the cafe is cooler than the back. Need more choice of deserts. Coffee: 8/10

  • 5/5 Ellen L. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent coffee and atmosphere, with an interesting book collection and lots of engaging events (e.g. community meetups and movie screenings).

  • 4/5 Thanirin Trironnarith (. 11 months ago on Google
    Love the atmosphere here so much. It's dim and quiet. Perfect place for work or a quiet reading time. The desserts were so-so.. a bit expensive for their quality. The drinks are also so-so.. also a bit expensive for their quality.

  • 5/5 heng p. 11 months ago on Google
    Pretty chilling and especially their coffee was really good. Located in the middle of the old town which is so easy to find. I also came here because of google recommended. Not disappointed at all.

  • 4/5 Bua V. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Wesley G. 1 year ago on Google
    Looking for quiet place and some books to read, this is the one you should be looking for. Price is affordable and cheap. The ambient looks great and peace. Best place to enjoy a hot drinks and listen to some good relaxing music.

  • 4/5 Nadine H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute little cafe with good coffee and some pastries like croissants. The books are a cool touch to read while having a coffee.

  • 5/5 Marta 1 year ago on Google
    Cute little place that makes coffee and books lovers to agree. The latte I had was not tremendously tasty (might be because of my poor almond milk choice), but the staff is super chill and nice and overall the place is quiet if you want to come and read a book. There is air conditioning inside and also they have a sitting area outside, in case you cannot stand the aircon for too long. I would recommend it overall. Should I be back in the Old Town, I would come and try other milk alternatives though.

  • 5/5 Zach S. 5 years ago on Google
    Such an amazing cafe on a street full of culture! There are plenty of coffee shops to choose from in this area but this is one that should be at the top of your list! The food has high quality ingredients with great presentation and the coffee selection and taste is superb (the homemade pasta is incredible!!) They even have some local craft beers for the customers that are looking for a little more than coffee/espresso/tea! The front of the shop is air-conditioned and has a whole wall of Thai books, postcards, crafts, and other items for sale.

  • 5/5 Ana M. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is perfect for people who likes to work while staying in the café. They have outlets and a good WIFI. It's pretty calm and quiet if you stay on the inner area of the café where the books are located. Ventilation is really good. Even without AC, they have a good cooling system in the café. Their coffee is really good. I've tried mocha, capuccino and latte. I'd recommend cappucino if you want a medium strong coffee. Even without sugar, it's good. The staff are also nice and welcoming.

  • 5/5 NAWINDA S. 3 years ago on Google
    I love signature Bohemian coffee & dirty coffee, shop has decorated by many books and many old cameras collection

  • 5/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great cafe with books and coffee in Phuket town. Relaxing and chill in cool atmosphere. Enjoy

  • 5/5 Faylou78 1 year ago on Google
    I can safely say that the coffee I had here was one of the best I've ever had (and that's saying something). Don't miss this place while in Phuket - it is totally worth making the trip to Bookhemian from any part of the island that you may be staying. Grab a book from the shelf, sit back and relax while sipping on a delicious coffee ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

    Specialty coffee set in an old building, rustic and Uber cool. Had my first coffee cocktail … Clockwork Orange! 🍸 A must visit if you want a special coffee.

👍👍 Lovely restaurant! A variety of different dishes, accommodating staff, and cheap prices. Winning point for me is an abundant of vegetarian and vegan options! The Noodle dish I ordered is usually pork and seafood, but offered an option to change to tofu. Tasty and satisfying!

😐 Its a cozy place, and reasonably good food, at a good price, around 250baht per pax. Parking is plenty beside the shop, reserved for customers. But the quality is definitely not Ippudo standard, if Ippudo is a 8 out of 10, this would probably be a 5 of 10. you get what you pay for tho. There's also...
