Of all the things to do in Phuket<\/span>, grabbing a coffee might not be at the top of your list \u2014 but we think it should be! If you\u2019re visiting the colourful streets of the Old Town, make a stop at Rise & Grind<\/b><\/span>.<\/a> Opened in June 2024, this industrial-style caf\u00e9 delivers trendy interiors and even trendier coffee, quickly earning its spot as one of the highest-rated caf\u00e9s in town.<\/p>\n

\"\"We tried their beautifully smooth roast cappuccino and their hot OVC latte (orange, vanilla, and cinnamon), which arrived with a real slice of orange and a dusting of cinnamon. They also offer great breakfast options ranging from 80 to 120 THB.<\/p>\n

After chatting with the owners, Ken and Hannah, we learned they lived and worked in Australia<\/span>, perfecting their craft before returning to Thailand<\/span>. Post-Covid, they moved from Bangkok<\/span> to Phuket and eventually bought what is now Rise & Grind. Their coffee uses two house blends: Old Town<\/em>, a medium\u2013dark roast, and Laguna<\/em>, a lighter, medium-bodied option. Their drip coffee is also a fun, experimental experience full of surprises \u2014 though Old Town<\/em> remains the customer favourite.<\/p>\n

What we loved most, however, were the people behind the brand. Hannah sat sketching and writing in the background, while Ken chatted warmly with the friendly staff and customers. Together, they\u2019ve created a space that fits perfectly within the artsy neighbourhood \u2014 often described as the Brick Lane<\/b><\/span> of Thailand<\/strong> \u2014 blending innovation with authenticity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
