More than a cup of coffee

PauPau Cafe & Roastery is a specialty coffee destination nestled in Chaweng, Koh Samui. We source premium Arabica beans from regional highland farms across Thailand and roast them right here on the island — in small batches, with care.

Whether you're a local looking for your morning ritual or a traveller discovering Koh Samui's café scene, PauPau offers a warm, unhurried space to slow down and enjoy something truly good.

Alongside our coffee, we bake fresh pastries every morning, serve toasted sandwiches and light bites — all made with the same attention we give to every roast.

The man behind the cup

Pau Alda

Pau Alda came to Koh Samui in 2005 and made it home. Together with his Thai wife, he built PauPau — a roastery rooted in twenty years of craft, local sourcing, and the warmth of two cultures meeting in every cup.

From farm to cup

The Roastery

Every bag of coffee sold at PauPau starts its journey in the highland farms of Thailand. We work directly with regional growers to select Arabica beans that meet our standards — then bring them to Koh Samui to roast in-house.

Small-batch roasting means we control every step: the temperature, the timing, the profile. The result is coffee that's fresh, traceable, and honest.
