Why we recommend it
Phuketique Coffee Bar is a small coffee and dessert bar at the Fountain Circle, on the Ranong Road end of Old Phuket Town. It is easy to spot: the shop is painted bright yellow and deep blue inside and out, and it is a handy stop between the old town streets and the markets around Ranong Road.
The signature here is burnt butter toast topped with ice cream and sauce, with a Biscoff version for those with a sweet tooth. To drink, there is hot and iced coffee, a Phuket-style iced coffee, matcha, a Thai tea slushie, pineapple juice, iced and hot teas, and sodas. Prices are modest by old town standards, which helps on a hot afternoon when one cold drink is rarely enough.
The coffee bar opens from 11:00 to 22:00 and is closed on Tuesdays. The room is small, with a few tables along the back wall and bar stools at a counter facing the street, so it can feel tight when a queue builds. Late morning and early afternoon on weekdays are usually the easiest times to get a seat; in the evening it makes a good dessert stop after dinner in the old town.
Phuketique suits couples, friends and solo travellers looking for a quick sweet treat and a cold drink, and it is popular with anyone collecting photographs of the old town's colourful shopfronts. Families with children will find the desserts an easy win, though space for pushchairs is limited. As the toast is rich, one portion shared between two is often enough alongside a drink. Bring cash in small notes just in case, and be ready to wait a few minutes at busy times.
The Fountain Circle sits where Ranong Road meets the old town grid, a short walk from Yaowarat Road, Thalang Road and the municipal market. Jui Tui Shrine and Put Jaw Shrine are a few minutes away along Ranong Road and Soi Phutorn, and the Thai Hua Museum and Soi Romanee are within easy walking distance. A stop here fits well at the end of a morning visit to the shrines and markets, or as a break in the middle of a heritage walk.
