Montra Cafe by ไร่วังบอน — Worth the Stop?

I passed through here last month on the way to a nearby dam, thinking it’d be a quick coffee stop. Turns out this place is way bigger than expected — multiple buildings, a farm area, and a pretty sprawling setup that’s clearly designed for people to hang out awhile.
Why People Like It
- Spacious layout with natural, open-air design spread across several buildings
- Good variety of food, drinks, and desserts on the menu
- Tasty food — several visitors mentioned the dishes were well-prepared
- Nice atmosphere — cozy vibe, pleasant to sit and relax
- Access to a farm area that some people enjoyed exploring
What to Order
The Thai tea gets consistent praise for being authentic and rich in flavor. The mixed berries yogurt smoothie also comes up — it’s loaded with berries and well-liked, though at 163 baht, it’s priced more like Bangkok than the countryside.
I didn’t see a ton of specific dish names mentioned repeatedly, so the food menu seems broad but not centered around one or two standout items. People generally said the food was good and reasonably priced, so you’re probably safe ordering whatever looks appealing.
Best Time to Visit & Ambience
Weekends see extended hours (7 AM–7 PM), while weekdays close at 6 PM. The place has a natural, open feel — expect to sit outdoors or in semi-open buildings. It’s the kind of spot where you can stretch out and take your time, especially if you’re breaking up a drive.
That said, be prepared to wait. One visitor mentioned waiting nearly 45 minutes for three dishes, and there were comments about the service being stretched thin despite the staff working hard. If you’re in a rush, this might not be ideal.
Practical Info
Address: 211 Tambon Na Hin Lat, Amphoe Pak Phli, Chang Wat Nakhon Nayok 26130
Hours: Mon–Fri 9 AM–6 PM | Sat–Sun 7 AM–7 PM
Price feel: Food is reasonably priced, but drinks (especially smoothies) run on the expensive side — think Bangkok cafe pricing.
Tips: Factor in extra time for both service and exploring the grounds. The farm area seems like a nice bonus if you’re with kids or just want to walk around a bit.
Final Take
Montra Cafe works well if you’re already in the area and want a relaxed pit stop with decent food and a pleasant setting — just don’t expect quick service or budget drink prices.
