Open Kitchen

Founded in 1958 at Phuket Old Town, Hock Hoe Lee started as a modest coffee shop in Phuket and blossomed into an iconic local brand. Known for its expertly roasted Arabica beans and traditional brewing techniques, this cafe in Phuket became a haven for tin mine workers looking for a rejuvenating brew before heading to the mines. Today, Hock Hoe Lee maintains its tradition of roasting beans with the same time-honored methods, ensuring the rich, bold flavors continue to delight both locals and visitors at this renowned Phuket cafe. At Open Kitchen, diners can take a tour to unlock Phuket’s time capsule and bring you back to the past of Phuket’s coffee culture with “Coffee History Talks”, withness the transformation of beans to brew in “Bean-to-Cup” Demonstrations, savor distinct flavors in “Coffee Tasting Sessions” and learn about sustainable practices in Hock Hoe Lee’s coffee production through “Green Roasting Insights”
