Wonderful place! - Edit
I recently visited Tess Vegan Café and had such a wonderful experience that I just have to share it.
Read moreI ordered the Penang Curry and it was absolutely amazing — so incredibly delicious! The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of the best vegan curries I’ve had.
They offer Thai and western style food.
Breakfast / lunch / dinner options.
Also coffee and cakes.
What made the experience even more special were the people. The owners/staff are super kind, warm-hearted, and genuinely lovely human beings. They actually just moved a few meters up the same street here in Pattaya, and even though they were officially closed today because of preparation work, they still cooked for me. That level of kindness and hospitality is truly special.
Amazing food, amazing people, and such a welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely come back. Highly recommended! 🌱💚
Thank you!

I had three courses, and each of them was tasty, and even better was the friendliness of the owner and the general vibe.

The Best on our travels! - Edit
After spending a few months travelling around I can confidently say that this is the best vegan cafe so far. Friendly, knowledgeable people who ask your preferences when you order from the varied and interesting menu. The prices are really good and food is excellent. Drinks are well presented, tasty and you need to try the coconut smoothie! Highly recommend. Family run so hope this review doesn't increase the workload too much! Cakes are amazing! They go quickly so get there early, but vegan cakes in SE Asia!!!!!

Must try vegan/ Vegetarian restaurant - Edit
During my travels abroad, I’m always on the lookout for vegan and vegetarian restaurants that serve authentic local food. It’s even more special when the place is family-run, where you can see the passion behind the food and experience genuine warmth and interaction. Tess easily checks all those boxes.
Read moreThe food is authentic, with a good variety on the menu, including great mock meat options. The hospitality of the family truly stands out and every visit feels personal and welcoming. I’ve already been here twice in just three days of my stay, and I doubt I’m done yet!
It was wonderful speaking with the owner-chef, who shared her inspiring journey into vegetarian and vegan cooking through Buddhist teachings. She explained how certain ingredients, like onion and garlic, are considered to affect human emotions, similar to beliefs in Hinduism, giving a deeper insight into their culinary philosophy.
The family is incredibly accommodating, happily customizing dishes to suit different dietary or religious preferences without ever losing their smile. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality, quantity, and taste they offer.
Highly recommended whether you’re dining in or ordering by phone, Tess is a must visit for anyone seeking authentic, soulful vegetarian or vegan food.
Also some of the best smoothies in Pattaya as well as must try desserts.
Pros: Open to customisation , Friendly , Taste
Cons: Nothing really.

Papaya salad is delicious - Edit
Ordered on grab, had 3 papaya salads whilst in Pattaya from here and was delicious everytime. Strawberry shake with yoghurt was also very nice. Also ordered Pad Thai but it was terrible, no flavour and noodles were a horrible texture.
