Photos provided by Google Places.
Tucked up a hill in Mu Si, this café is easy to miss if you’re driving fast—the entrance sign isn’t huge. Once you find it and head up the small drive, you’ll arrive at a clean, well-designed space that feels a bit like stepping into a peaceful village setting.
Why People Stop Here
- Scenic hillside views that work well for a relaxed coffee break
- Peaceful atmosphere – several visitors mentioned it wasn’t crowded during their visits
- Clean facilities, including the washrooms
- Breakfast and lunch options with fresh ingredients and thoughtful plating
What to Order
The food gets mixed feedback. Some people found their breakfast delicious with good flavours and beautiful presentation, while others described it as average. The café offers a decent lunch menu, though not everyone tried it.
Drinks are the safer bet. Coffee gets positive mentions, and one drink that stood out to at least one visitor was the Bloody Monday mocktail (made with pomegranate and lychee syrup). If you’re mainly coming for the view and a drink, you’ll probably leave satisfied.
Best Time to Visit
The café is open daily from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, so it works for breakfast through late lunch. Based on reviews, it doesn’t seem to get packed, which means you can likely enjoy a quiet hour without crowds. One visitor specifically mentioned the winter months as a nice time to visit (Thailand’s cool season), when the hillside setting would be especially pleasant.
