Big’s Little Cafe

Big’s Little Cafe is the perfect morning venue for those of you yearning for a traditional, Western breakfast. The smell of bacon and eggs cooking on the grill will surely welcome you before the friendly staff does. Because the cafe closes at 2:30 p.m., breakfast and brunch are about the only things you can get here, and a giant chalkboard lays out all of the delicious menu options behind the chef, who makes each meal right there in front of diners. The best breakfast items on their menu include their French toast with honey, muesli with yogurt, the Spanish omelet, and much more. On top of all this, items like baked beans, hash browns, and sausage can be thrown in, allowing diners to mix and match their meals at Big’s Little Cafe.

Are you craving some breakfast food? Then check out Witching Well’s long list of pancakes, including their honey and lime starting at only ฿75.

Some tables are longer for those of you travelers with plenty of friends, so be sure to grab a few and make your way to Witching Well.
