I know many here grab breakfast on their way home from a club, but I'm someone who actually wakes up about 9 or 10 (in the morning, shock horror). Anyway, I'm staying at Mosaik Apartments this trip (in June) and don't really know the area by day. Where's a good place for breakfast? Thinking about Baan Dok Mai is one. Any other suggestions?Similar Threads:

Baan Dok Mai has a great bacon and eggs menu, if that is what you like.
In fact it has some of the best bacon I have ever tastet in Thailand.
Not so good but eatable is Salt and Pepper in that area. I like to have my fried rice and eggs there. Not a big food experience, but nice and relaxed to sit there reading with the newspaper.
thanks, gaymandenmark, I'll definitely give it a try - I do like bacon in the morning. not averse to a sausage either (ooh, matron!)

I have a similar problem when I stay in Howard's Guesthouse. I get up some time between 10 and 12, and there are no street food sellers where I can grab something on the way. So far, I either ate later that day or went to Monty's or the street food restaurant that is in "Soi Monty". But all this is not satisfactory, I want something "to go". Whereas at night, there is ample choice in the same area. In Thailand, my eating is somewhat blurred, I eat when I am hungry, there is no distinction between meals that I have in Europe.
Located in the same building as the Mosaik Apartments is Grotinos Restaurant. They have several breakfast plates on the menu.
I find Salt&Pepper to be a much better place to grab a lunch or a light dinner when I'm in the area. I have tried the breakfast and the selections are not very varied. The prices at Salt&Pepper are very inexpensive and it is a good place to sit, have a coffee and watch the traffic go by.
If you want a proper English breakfast look no further than directly across the Soi when you exit Mosaic... the restaurant/bar just to the left of the Flamingo entrance. They do lunch/dinner too but in German style. Just ask for the breakfast menu - choices are 1, 2 or 3. Can't remember what its called, (maybe Blue something?) but it has wicker chairs out front. It's not the cheapest in the area but you'll be hard pressed to find better quality for the price locally. Otherwise for a major breakfast experience - and you ought to try it at least once if you haven't already - take a trip to Papa David's in Jomtien... get off the baht bus opposite the Jomtien complex just where the road bears 90 degrees right with the beach in sight. Papa David's is just to your left.

Tara Court @ Pratamnak soi 5 does the best Breakfast until 3 pm every day

Take me for a nice breakfast. If he is still there
He knows some great eating places
Why doesn't anyone ever mention Gossip Cafe in these threads? Just down the street from Mosaik, kitty-corner to the place with all the pool tables. Back in the day, I was there probably 3 or 4 times a week. Open 24x7, excellent breakfast, and all around good food, plus comfortable atmosphere where you can relax. Highly recommended.
