Quality Despite Small Prices
Low prices do not mean low quality here. Every dish is freshly prepared with ingredients from the local market. No MSG, no premade products. We can offer these prices because we use local Thai ingredients and operate as a family business. You get restaurant quality at street food prices.
Tips for Budget Travelers
Combine a Pad Thai with a Watermelon Shake for a complete lunch under $3. Order Spring Rolls as a shared starter for the group. Use Grab Food to skip transport costs and enjoy from your hotel. And remember: Sunday is our rest day — plan your visit Monday through Saturday.
Visiting Tess Vegan Cafe — Practical Info
Everything you need before you come over: how to find us, what to expect, and a few local tips from Pattaya.
Where we are
We're on Na Kluea Soi 16, in the quiet northern part of Pattaya — a 7-minute drive from the Sanctuary of Truth and 12 minutes from Terminal 21. Look for the green TESS sign next to the plant-filled entrance.
Opening hours
Open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Closed Sundays. Last food order 8:30 PM. Breakfast and coffee are ready from 9 sharp — perfect after a sunrise walk along Wong Amat beach.
How to get here
Grab and Bolt rides from central Pattaya cost 80–120 THB. Songthaew (baht bus) along Sukhumvit drops you 5 minutes away. Free street parking is available right in front of the cafe — no garage needed.
Allergies & diets
Everything is 100% plant-based. Many dishes are naturally gluten-free, soy-free or nut-free — just ask. We adapt curries, stir-fries and desserts to your needs without losing flavor.
Families & kids
Kids are very welcome. We have smaller portions, mild Thai dishes, and homemade coconut cake that even picky eaters love. Highchair available, and the cafe is stroller-friendly.
Booking & ordering
Walk-ins are welcome. For groups of 4+ a reservation by phone or Facebook helps. Delivery via Grab Food across Pattaya. For evening visits, a quick message before you come helps us plan.
