A local café serving up specialty coffee and great food. The whole area is quite spacious with indoor and outdoor areas connected to the river. Very unique and laid back feels. We felt so relaxed we wanted to nap here after some drinks and food! Favorite drinks: white taladlang (think cold brew with added foam and citrusy flavour) and new quay (cold brew with apple juice that tastes quite special). Waffles and basque burnt cheesecheck (made in house) are fantastic! I would come back to try more stuffs.
Great place for coffee and a sip of beer near a river. It has many sitting area to choose your atmosphere whether drinking a crafted coffee inside a art-gallery like indoor or the riverside outdoor that is perfect for a bottle of beer.
Good food, nice atmosphere. Near the river, more area have parking. Place for relax
The shop beautifully located on the bank of Tapee river, The very vein of Suratthani town. The riverside atmosphere is full of life yet tranquil, reflecting well on the ambience of the shop itself, which is vibrant yet peaceful. Despite many activities that visitors can enjoy, you do get a full sense of privacy. I always manage to get my work done while enjoying my daily cup of coffee here. The shop offers a handful of delicious desserts and treats albeit not many, but what lacks in varieties was all made up in flavor and taste. All dishes are personally recommended by me, for I have tried them all. All Hits No Misses.
The best riverside atmosphere cafe in Surat Thani serves good coffee with friendly services. The community of sub boarding, surf skating and art space. Sometimes we can see some animals around there such as Little Cormorant, tiger fish, alligators, etc ...
