What a gem of a location. Beautifully designed, right at one of the nicest beaches we've seen on Samui. Granted, it was off-season and empty which helped a lot. The ice cream is fantastic, really recommend it. The drinks are great as well. Really nice package all around.

A beautiful little spot along the beach. Super peaceful and relaxing with seating in the shade or sun if desired. The OJ was delicious, the best I’ve had in Thailand.

This is the most charming café in Koh Samui! The aesthetic is completely perfect for a relaxing afternoon. You can cool down in their air-conditioned oceanfront café and enjoy a delicious Thai tea top with coconut ice cream. Then you can make your way out to their lovely open beach patio and sit on there tree swing that overlooks the turquoise waters and shell laced beach. And for remote workers they are very welcoming to have a quiet place to focus. The staff are wonderful! Also, they are always playing great music! Thank you, Kelapa Samui

A very cute place to have a coffee or fruitshake. It tasted good and is quite Instagram-worthy. Nice to know: They serve cake and croissants as options to eat. It’s a nice place to sip and relax!

Came here at the start of our trip and have been back everyone day since. We have tried almost all of the smoothies and all were delicious! The staff are very kind and the atmosphere in the cafe is wonderful, right on the beach front!

Never change, perfect drinks, great service, awesome seating area and amazing views. No need for food, there’s a couple of places next door for it. It also gives Kelapa a nice, more relaxed vibe. Cash only. The only thing I’d say is the music outside is a bit loud. It would be nice to enjoy the sounds of the waves more.
