Authentic Vegan Thai Food in Pattaya
Thai cuisine is built on fresh herbs, coconut milk, and bold aromatics — a natural fit for plant-based cooking. At Tess Vegan Cafe, you experience the real flavors of Thailand, entirely without animal products.
Tradition Meets Plant-Based Innovation
Thai recipes are inherently rich in plant-based ingredients. We have replaced the few animal components with smart alternatives while preserving authentic taste. Our chef brings years of firsthand experience in Thai cooking to every dish. The result: meals that convince even the most dedicated Thai food enthusiasts.

Fresh Ingredients from the Local Market
Every morning we source herbs, vegetables, and spices from the local market. Thai basil, lemongrass, galangal, and fresh chili form the foundation of our dishes. We never use premade pastes or MSG. Every sauce is crafted by hand, every curry simmered fresh. You can taste the difference in every bite.
Our Thai Highlights
The Paneng Curry (145 THB) delivers creamy coconut milk with a perfectly balanced spice blend. Our Pad Thai (95 THB) features crisp vegetables and roasted peanuts. The Vegan Satay (155 THB) with homemade peanut sauce is the ideal starter. Add crispy Spring Rolls (85 THB) to round out your meal.
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.
