Café Lipe

On the Pattaya Beach side of Koh Lipe, Café Lipe is the easy morning fix: sea breeze, shady trees, and the smell of espresso drifting up from the machine. Order at the counter, grab a spot with a view of the sand, and watch longtails idle between runs. The crowd is a mix of early risers, island staff on a break, and sun-chasers ducking the midday heat. Keep it simple here. They pour proper coffee and do it well — iced lattes run 90–110 THB, and you’ll usually find a slice of banana cake to go with it. Fresh juices are genuinely fresh, and their coconut smoothie uses real Lipe coconut rather than powder. If you need something more substantial before a snorkel trip, they turn out straightforward sandwiches and Thai plates without the fuss. Come early if you want quiet. From 7am to about 10am it’s blissfully calm; later in the afternoon it’s a breezy pit stop between beach sessions. You’re a short stroll from Walking Street if you’re heading into town, but it’s hard to leave once you settle in — this is one of those places that makes an hour vanish. Practical details: open daily 7am–6pm. Find it along Pattaya Beach with quick access back to Walking Street via the nearest lane. Last verified March 2026.
