The best cafe on the island, Urban Cafe doubles as the dining area for Koh Jum Beach Villas, a shady open air area overlooking the swimming pool.
Despite being part of an upmarket resort, the prices are very reasonable and the quality of food excellent, especially if you are looking for Western dishes and quality coffee with real milk.
The story behind Urban Cafe – set up by tsunami survivors – is quite moving, and it’s worth reading the full account included in their menu.
How To Get To Urban Cafe
Urban Cafe is located in the Koh Jum Beach Villas complex on Golden Pearl Beach on the central west coast – if you’re already staying on Golden Pearl Beach or Andaman Beach you can walk there along the beach, otherwise you’ll need to drive there.
