Café Studio is an ideal spot for an early breakfast from the huge selection before hitting the beach – or to pop in during the day for a refreshing drink and a snack. Going or coming its worth dropping by to check their comprehensive menu. They have special takeaway packs for the beach or to take a snack back to your room.
We called in for late afternoon brunch to relax after spending most of the day at the beach. Notably they close at 6pm so arriving at 4pm gave us plenty of time to relax, cool down in the air-conditioning and indulge. For those who prefer the outdoors, Café Studio has a number of settings outside under large beach umbrellas.
We kicked off with a Passion Fruit Mango Smoothie and a Pineapple And Mint Smoothie. I had forgotten how nice a fruit smoothy tastes on a hot day; these were excellent. Our main meals were shared: a Spinach Quiche, a Baguette with Roast Beef and Salad and a Potato Pasta Salad with Bacon. All very fresh and tasty.
For dessert, I had a Blueberry Cheesecake and my partner a Blueberry Crumble. A very difficult choice due to their extensive selection. We finished off with coffee latte and Americano.
Ordering is straightforward; just go to the counter, order and pay. Staff then prepare fresh on the spot and deliver to your table with cutlery and condiments. Soft background music set the mood for a relaxing afternoon. The staff were attentive, always available when required while all breads and cakes are baked fresh each morning onsite in Café Studio’s professional kitchen – so are ultra fresh.
Takeaway packs are made from biodegradable products as are the plastic glasses and straws. Thai Gourmet Gift Sets are available for purchase and make great (and tasty) souvenirs of your visit.
Café Studio is very family orientated and so has chosen not to serve liquor. Guests who want to enjoy an adult beverage can visit MINT Bar & Restaurant right next to the café.
If parking on the beach road proves an issue, the easy alternative is to enter the Paradox Resort from Patak Road, park in the resort’s guest parking area then take a complimentary chauffeured electric cart to Café Studio, which is under the same management as the Paradox Resort.
With my customary luck in finding impossible parking spots, I found a perfect spot just metres from Café Studio and the beach. You may not be so lucky. But lucky you will be if you drop in to experience Café Studio’s offering! I will be back soon myself.
