"The food and service was amazing! Super close to the tiger zoo and a really special place — it’s a blend of a school, family space for local expats, yoga barn and more. Owner sat and chatted with us for a while and was really sweet. We got the duck confit and avocado toast with pineapple juice and a mango matcha, highly recommend!"

"What a relaxed place! Especially for families with children, as they have plenty of options for the kids including a swimming pool. We came for breakfast and our kids wanted to stay for lunch and dinner too Food is really delicious and very good portions as well. They also sell a few local items like clothes, oils, jewellery… Also interesting the various activities they offer for kids, like movie and disco on Saturday. A must see for families, definitely!"

"Its a lovely place, great for children and very relaxed atmosphere. The food was really tasty! The glass noodle salad quite spicy but soooo goood!"

"We recently discovered this absolutely wonderful place, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. The food here is not just delicious but also incredibly healthy, which is something we truly appreciate. They serve amazing breakfasts all day long, and every dish is prepared with such care and attention to detail. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a quiet meal. The staff here is exceptionally kind and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. One person who stood out to us was Si—he was so friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. We stumbled upon this place completely by chance while riding past on our bike. The modern branding caught our eye because it looked different from the usual places you see around Samui. At first, we weren’t even sure what it was—we just stopped to check it out. To our surprise, we found out that not only is there a fantastic restaurant here, but it’s also home to a children’s camp, mostly catering to visitors to the island. We noticed a lot of people speaking German and English, which gave the place a very international vibe. We were lucky enough to meet the owner, Daniela, who moved here from Germany. Her approach to both childcare and nutrition really resonated with us. The kids at the camp don’t just sit around on phones or watch TV (except maybe on special occasions). Instead, they spend their time outdoors, engaged in activities with a carefully selected team of staff. My wife and I ended up coming back several times during our vacation because we loved it so much. The zucchini waffles, bone broth, and various breakfast options were some of our favorites. Everything is made with love and high-quality organic ingredients, which makes a huge difference in taste and health benefits. Now, we’re dreaming of bringing our daughter here so she can experience the camp for herself. It’s exactly the kind of environment we’d love for her—full of nature, good food, and meaningful activities. Hopefully, we’ll make it happen by December. This place has left such a lasting impression on us, and we can’t wait to return. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, a calming atmosphere, and a unique concept, this is definitely it."

"Our favourite place to have breakfast. It is very interesting place, it has a kindergarden where you can leave your children, a yoga class and a restaurant with a pool you can swim in First place we got a decent size large cappuchino and a wonderful breakfast. Nice and quiet and pleasant, very friendly staff"

"Joy’s Kitchen is a fantastic family-friendly café with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cozy, bright interior and friendly staff make you feel right at home. What really stands out is how well they cater to kids aged 3–12! There’s a fun play area with toys and games, coloring activities, and even a small corner with books. While parents enjoy delicious food (the menu has great options for both adults and little ones), kids stay entertained—no chance for boredom! Perfect for a relaxed meal where both parents and children can have a great time. Highly recommend!"
