A must for drip-coffee lovers. The super friendly barista-owner carefully presented all coffee beans he had before letting you taste the aroma and decide. Apart from the café’s blended coffee, there were specialty Thai bean and imported beans, roasted by Gallery Drip Cafe in Bangkok. And some special beans from Australia. They also had cheesecake and brownie for sweet-tooth. Atmosphere was clean, minimal and relaxing. If you like photography you can have endless conversation with the owner because he used to teach Photography too.

What a good experience here. For people who love specialty coffee, I believe this is the place for you! I guarantee that you will have a good conversation with the barista. He has such an incredible energy plus really entertaining while brewing coffee for you. Highly recommended to have a seat at the bar. In addition, if you love Thai coffee, you would have a chance to meet local farmers here as well. I was there and saw a couple coffee farmer.

What a gem! Bespoke local Thai coffee spot with scones and brownies. The coffee here is made from local Thai beans and you can choose which ones you want. They have a super cute shop with a little garden out front which is such a vibe. Highly recommend!!

Cute gem, with great service! Local coffee beans available for purchase. Barista explained the different bean types and where they can be found in Thailand. The place is off the beaten path but worth the stop.
