Some of Phuket's finest coffee (55B to 150B) is crafted at easy-going, experimental, national-award-winning Shelter, whose signature caffeine concoction is a 72-hour cold brew. All the classics are artfully presented, with AeroPress and bean-of-the-day options, and there are Thai herbal teas, soul-soothing hot chocolates, and all-day breakfasts and Thai dishes (90B to 160B). Out the back lies a tucked-away garden.
