Cafe Francesca - Kitchen | Bar | Coffee

The best menu and food for brunch we loved the food and the choice the menu had. We had the granola bowl and the Francesca’s breakfast for brunch and it was great. The coffee was also lovely. Sadly we felt a little forgotten, the service was slow, our food came out at different times and the coffee came out later than everything else which was a little frustrating, we also asked for a side with the granola that was forgotten and it took some time for it to come. We sat inside which was great for the air con but the atmosphere felt a little chaotic in there so would recommend sitting outside

Fine place! But literally on the road and it’s very loud. Shakshuka is just 2 eggs and just plane tomato paste from the store. Still tasty, but you would expect more. Still, atmosphere is good, I guess it’s nice for a quick coffee with friends.

I saw some past reviews mentioning slow service, but my experience today was excellent given the circumstances. I went alone and sat in the corner (555!). The patio was packed—one table of six, three tables of five, plus several 2–3 tops. People kept joining in, and the one waitress taking orders barely had time to breathe, supported by two food runners. Even so, they managed to keep up with everyone’s demands—and there were a lot. As a former waitress of four years, I felt their struggle. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality is there. The coffee is some of the best on the island (and they even have decaf!). Another highlight: the eggs—I think because they’re slow-cooked in French butter but not sure. They also serve herb French butter with the baguette. The Israeli breakfast was very good, though not strictly Israeli—it included tuna and egg salad, guacamole, cream cheese, and tomato jam, with tahini and the salad being the only truly Israeli elements. It's my favorite if you like to try different things. One thing to note: you might feel a bit out of place if you’re not part of the local crowd. It seemed like a hangout spot for young Israelis, and I felt a little like I had wandered into a party where I didn’t quite belong. Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of. Overall, I love this place and come almost every week—But for others.. just go earlier or later to avoid the rush and enjoy a calmer experience. **And don't forget to tip your waiter or waitress if they go above and beyond for you! 20 baht is nothing for many of us but it is a nice surprise for the Burmese staff!

One of the best new restaurants in Phangan. The chef knows his stuff, the flavors are absolutely amazing. They have a cherry tomato jam which I have never seen before and it’s mind blowing. You should sell this in jars! The bread is one of the best I had on Phangan. The dishes are all carefully crafted and astonishing. I also liked the coffee, they even have decaf available. I will certainly come back many times!

Super place for brunch. We had the smoothie bowl and the vegan breakfast. Both were excellent, and the range of vegan, gluten free and lactose free options was great!

I ordered the vegan breakfast. The owner was very attentive and friendly. The food was very delicious. I will come back:) Tipp: 2-3 pieces of fresh fruits to this set would be perfect!
