Coffee and Tree — A Quiet Roadside Stop in Chanthaburi
Photos provided by Google Places.
I passed through Tha Mai district last week and stopped at Coffee and Tree for a quick break. It’s a small, no-frills cafe right on the roadside—easy to spot if you’re driving through the area. The kind of place locals seem to use for errands-and-coffee runs rather than a destination hang.
Why People Stop By
- Solid coffee and tea options — the coffee gets consistent praise, and matcha drinks (both iced tea and lattes) come up often
- Homemade cakes — matcha red bean cake and other baked goods are popular; several people mentioned they taste homemade
- Clean and comfortable — the bathroom is clean, seating areas are tidy, and the owner keeps things well-maintained
- Owner-run vibe — the owner is friendly and attentive, plus they’ve decorated the space with their own drawings
- Shaded outdoor seating — surrounded by trees, so it’s cooler outside than you’d expect
What to Try
The coffee is the main draw—people say it’s good quality without being fancy. If you’re into matcha, the matcha iced tea and matcha red bean cake get specific mentions as tasty picks. The cakes in general seem to be homemade and worth ordering if you want something sweet with your drink.
Best Time to Visit & Seating
The cafe’s open 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM most days (til 5 PM on Sundays). There’s a small air-conditioned room inside that fits about 7–8 people, so if you’re visiting mid-morning or early afternoon on a weekday, you’ll likely snag a seat without trouble. Outside, there are several tables under the trees—nice if you prefer fresh air and a breeze. It’s not a huge space, so weekends might get tighter.
Practical Info
Address: Tedsabal 3, Tambon Tha Mai, Amphoe Tha Mai, Chanthaburi 22120
Hours: Mon–Sat 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM | Sun 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Price feel: Reviews don’t mention specific prices, but the vibe suggests it’s casual and affordable—typical small-town cafe pricing.
Tips:
- It’s right on the side of the road, so parking should be straightforward.
- If you’re sensitive to heat, grab the air-conditioned room early; otherwise, the outdoor shade is comfortable.
- The owner seems to run things solo or with minimal help, so service is personal but might be slower if it’s busy.
Final Take
Coffee and Tree works well if you’re already passing through Tha Mai and need a clean, quiet spot to recharge with decent coffee and homemade cake—just don’t expect a trendy hangout or elaborate menu.
