The Factory Cafe

If you’re staying around Sairee, The Factory is your go-to for a proper coffee and an easy, wholesome feed. Set on the main road between Mae Haad and Sairee Beach, the space feels airy and handmade: polished concrete, plants, and a steady hum of grinders. Order at the counter, grab a shaded table, and watch scooters roll past while the island wakes up. The menu leans wholefoods with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, without being preachy. Think avo on toast with a squeeze of lime, falafel wraps, big nourish bowls, and superfood smoothies that actually taste good after a morning dive. Regulars swear by the iced coffees and the bakery counter—cookies and croissants go fast. Portions are generous, plating is clean, and everything feels fresh rather than fussy. It’s an all-day brunch-and-lunch spot that also covers an early dinner if you’re calling it a night. Doors open from 7:00am to 6:30pm daily (last verified March 2026), which makes it a handy pre-boat caffeine stop or a post-snorkel refuel. Expect a calm, mixed crowd: dive staff grabbing takeaways, long-stayers on their laptops for an hour, and beach-goers cooling off before sunset.
