What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
TAN Hostel x Cafe is praised for its delicious food, particularly breakfast dishes like scrambled eggs and potatoes, and its chill, friendly atmosphere. While many enjoy the diverse menu and refreshing drinks, a few customers have noted that prices are on the higher side for the area. There's also a concern raised about potential food safety issues with burgers, though this is an isolated report.
"Stumbled upon this charming little café just a short walk from our hotel, and it turned out to be a lovely surprise. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting.
The service was genuinely friendly; the staff greeted us warmly and seemed happy to offer menu recommendations. The standout here is definitely the menu — a wide variety of healthy options made with high-quality ingredients. You can tell they put thought into what goes on each plate, and everything tasted fresh and nourishing.
It’s definitely a place I’d go back to. The only small downside was no air-conditioning and that was it."

"We ate here twice. The first time, we ordered a tropical bowl and pancakes — the food was okay, nothing special, but acceptable for a one-time visit.
The second time, we ordered two burgers.
I had the BBQ pulled pork, and my boyfriend had the beef burger. Everything tasted good at first.
However, about 10 hours later, he started experiencing symptoms of food poisoning. We hadn’t eaten anything else that day.
I had a different burger with different meat and didn’t try his — I felt completely fine.
We strongly suspect food poisoning and kindly ask you to check the quality and storage conditions of your ingredients, especially the meat."

"I stayed at the hostel for 3 nights, and it was great for me. The staff were super kind and helpful, absolutely love them! They clean the rooms daily. There’s a shared kitchen downstairs, and a board with information about places to visit and transport services to the airport. There’s also a spacious area to chill and chat with other travellers. Oh, and they have books too, which is a huge plus for me.
The location is nice, close to the beach, street shops, night markets, and even the departure points for island hopping tours.
The rooms have AC and a fan. They have a water heater, but no jet spray for the toilet. I was fine with that, but you might want to consider it. The AC is turned on at noon, but it didn’t bother me much since I spent most of the afternoon outside.
I had breakfast twice at the café, and both times were yummy! Loved the vibes of the café as well."

10 Best Ao Nang Breakfast & Brunch Restaurants, Krabi 2024
A Hip hostel hangout with its own incredibly popular cafe, Tan Hostel x Cafe is a little further off the beaten track than most of these ‘best brunch and breakfasts in Ao Nang’ places, around 10 minutes up the hill from Ao Nang Beach. The trek is worth it though as Tan Hostel x Cafe know their coffee, with an epic menu both in terms of drinks and food options. We visited early one morning and it was already very busy, seemingly a mix of people staying in the hostel and those walking in off the street.
