About
The Continental Bakery is a Pattaya breakfast institution — a bakery-café-restaurant that’s been going for more than 25 years and is still a reliable expat morning haunt. The original branch is on Soi Drairin, just off Pattaya 3rd Road in central Pattaya, with a second branch in Jomtien on Thappraya Road, each pairing a sit-down restaurant with an in-house bakery counter.
What to order
Breakfast is the headline: full English and American fry-ups, French toast, eggs done any way, and Greek, French and German options, served alongside good coffee. Beyond breakfast there are salads, sandwiches and mains, plus a case of cakes, pastries and fresh bread to eat in or take away. There’s a solid vegetarian selection too.

Good to know
This is an unpretentious, long-standing place that trades on consistency, the bakery counter and value rather than fashion — reviews land at “good and dependable.” The central branch is on a busy 3rd Road soi, so parking and traffic can be fiddly; a Grab or a short walk from Second Road is easiest.

Detailed facts, cautions, facilities & reviews
Full overview
The Continental Bakery is a Pattaya breakfast institution — a bakery-café-restaurant that's been running for more than 25 years and remains a reliable expat morning haunt. The original and best-known branch is on Soi Drairin off Pattaya 3rd Road in central Pattaya, with a second branch in Jomtien on Thappraya Road; an in-house bakery sits alongside the restaurant at each. The menu is broad European-and-international comfort food built around breakfast: full English and American fry-ups, French toast, eggs any way, plus Greek, French and German options, salads, sandwiches and a case of cakes, pastries and fresh bread. It opens early, which is a big part of the appeal for early risers, jet-lagged arrivals and long-stay residents who want a proper Western breakfast and a decent coffee rather than a hotel buffet. Prices are mid-range and fair for the portions, service is generally friendly, and there are solid vegetarian choices. It won't win awards for design or trend — this is a long-standing, unpretentious place that trades on consistency, the bakery counter and value rather than fashion, and reviews sit at 'good and dependable' rather than spectacular. Handy if you're staying in central Pattaya near Second/Third Road or want takeaway bread and cakes. Confirm the hours of your chosen branch before a special trip, as the central and Jomtien branches keep slightly different times.

Frequently asked questions
What is The Continental Bakery known for?
Breakfast and its bakery. It's a 25-year-old bakery-café-restaurant that expats rely on for full English and American breakfasts, French toast, eggs and good coffee, backed by an in-house counter of fresh bread, cakes and pastries. It's a dependable all-day spot rather than a trendy café.
Where are the branches?
The main branch is on Soi Drairin, just off Pattaya 3rd Road in central Pattaya. There's also a branch in Jomtien on Thappraya Road. Both pair a restaurant with a bakery counter; check which is more convenient for where you're staying, and confirm that branch's hours.
What time does it open?
It opens early for breakfast — generally from around 7am (some reports even earlier) through to the evening, roughly 8pm. Early opening is one of its selling points for jet-lagged visitors and early risers. Hours differ slightly between the central and Jomtien branches, so confirm before a special trip.
Is there vegetarian food, and how are the prices?
Yes — there's a decent range of vegetarian options across the breakfast, salad and bakery menus. Prices are mid-range and considered fair for the generous portions and quality, cheaper than hotel dining. It's a good-value, everyday sort of place rather than a splurge.
Do I need to book?
No — it's a walk-in café/bakery, so you can just turn up; mornings are the busiest as the breakfast crowd comes in. For takeaway bread, cakes or pastries you can drop by the bakery counter any time it's open. Call the branch ahead only for large groups.
