Photos provided by Google Places.
Tucked away in Si Maha Phot district, this black-painted cafe has a bit of a mysterious vibe from the outside, but inside it’s all about relaxing vibes and solid coffee. With a 4.9 rating from 27 reviews, it’s clearly doing something right for the locals and occasional visitors who find it.
Why People Like It
- Good coffee selection — both Thai and international beans available
- Cakes and pastries that aren’t overly sweet — multiple people mentioned this specifically
- Relaxed, calm atmosphere — the kind of place where you can actually sit and unwind
- Croissants with various toppings — apparently popular and sell out quickly
What to Order
The matcha latte comes up a few times as a highlight — people say it’s well-balanced and not too sweet. For sweeter drinks, the caramel macchiato got a thumbs up. There’s also a matcha honey lemon drink that left an impression, though the exact name might vary.
On the food side, the cakes get consistent praise for being smooth and flavorful without the sugar overload you sometimes get at cafes. The croissants seem to be a bit of a thing here — they come with different toppings and apparently even dipping sauces. Just note that popular items can sell out, so don’t arrive too late if you’ve got your heart set on something specific.
They also make birthday cakes if you need to order ahead.
Best Time to Visit & Ambience
Open daily from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so it’s strictly a daytime spot. Mornings or early afternoon are probably safer bets for the full selection of pastries since some items sell out.
The atmosphere is consistently described as relaxing and nice — this isn’t a bustling, noisy cafe. The black exterior stands out in the neighborhood and adds a bit of character. There’s parking available, which is handy since it’s not exactly in a central tourist area.
