We dined here on 4 occasions in April. Authentic Thai food using fresh ingredients, herbs and spices . Very clean, including bathrooms and friendly owners/hosts. 4 people-$40 dollars, that's hard to beat

Ahh, you know when you want a really good cup of coffee, this is the place. A huge choice of breakfast options, all good and made to order, lovely staff and a massive amount of books to browse too.Lunch and dinner options looked good too. Beware early risers, I don't think they open until about 9am.

I can definitely see why this is so highly ranked. It is clearly a good example of a cafe. Lots of options, service with a smile and reasonably priced! I had a lovely jacket potato with cheese which came with a nice little salad. My husband was disappointed with his Pad Thai as the sauce tasted mainly like ketchup, but... More

We went as a group and all ordered different food. Food came at the same time!!! A first for us in Thailand for such a big group. Food was really nice. They asked if my husband wanted his stuff spicy (which he did and it was). Food was priced well. The service was very very good. Bit of something for... More

Great coffee, high level of service compared to the rest of Thailand, large choice of drinks, smoothies, shakes, etc ... as well as a large choice of thai and western food, (even jacket potatoes) I was a bit disappointed by the pad thai which could be more authentic, but all the rest was brilliant. Red Curry was great. I would... More

There are also options for lunch and dinner which include both western and thai dishes.

Just had lunch there, the food was good and the service excellent! Give it a try! We went for western food but the local Thai food looked great. Great place to do a book swap also.

We were there for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Not only were we greeted by the cheerful staff, the food was good too. Order the steamed fish if you are having dinner with three or more people. It is really very good! Relax on the chili that comes with it though, it is so potent it is GOOD!

I had the blue Thai style rice and it made a great, good value lunch. Fresh, beautiful flavours. Fairly average street though.
