Why it matters
Why Wild Tribe is worth your time
Many travellers on Koh Samui want a break from rice, curry and noodles in the morning. A cafe that leads with vegetarian and vegan dishes gives families a breakfast that does not need fish sauce explained or eggs avoided at every turn.
It also suits groups where tastes differ, since a few meat options are on offer while most of the menu is plant-based. That balance is useful, but it also means strict vegetarians should check preparation. The listing is based on guide descriptions rather than the cafe's own menu, so use it as a starting point and read the board in person.

How to experience it
Wild Tribe is described by a vegan eating guide as a Lamai cafe that is mainly vegetarian with a few meat options, and with many vegan dishes and desserts. HappyCow also lists it in Lamai as vegetarian-leaning. Because meat does appear on the menu, it suits mixed groups better than strict vegetarians who mind shared kitchens.
The food named by the guide is breakfast-style: vegan pancakes with a strawberry and coconut cream sauce, a Japanese Zen Buddha bowl, and two smoothie bowls, Wild Blueberry Power and Chocolate Almond Power. It also lists mezze, coffee and matcha or coffee lattes, so you can eat a light meal or just stop for a drink.
Order the vegetarian or vegan dishes by name and ask the staff how they are cooked if a shared kitchen is a concern. Confirm opening hours the same day, because small cafes on the island adjust them.
