Very appropriate coffee shop for kham Thiang market. The shop is filled with beautiful plants. Nice fountain. Coffee taste is excellent. There are some cakes. But, they don’t look very appetizing. Friendly service. Very professional.

Perfect place to go before exploring the plant market. Large drink and good menu with both Thai and western dishes. They also have a line of craft sodas with fun flavors

A good place for a pit stop or after a few hours’ of shopping and walking the different soi looking and buying a great variety of plants, pots and flowers. There are a number of sheltered tables outside, as well as a smaller number of tables inside. The outside area is misted which helps bring down the heat. They serve a variety of food and drinks, including Thai milk tea, honey and lemon hot tea, coffees and cakes. The staff are friendly and you place and pay for your orders at the cashier.

Very good place. Affogato was aroi. I came here while shopping the area for trees and plants today. Would definitely come back here again. Great atmosphere and service. Looking around it gave me ideas for other landscaping - so all good. Nice place to take a break and relax.

I came across this restaurant by chance at the plant market. I ordered pork fried rice as a simple meal, but what I got was very fast. The staff was very service-minded. I was sitting working. The staff intentionally placed a plate of rice for me quietly, not daring to disturb me. The fried rice was like purple crab rice. The taste was very delicious. It was the best fried rice I had eaten in a year. I was very surprised that I didn't come to buy plants very often, but I just found this restaurant. I recommend you to come and eat. The price is not expensive, the atmosphere is very good.

A little out of the way, but worth the trip! Lovely garden setting with alabaster tables & chairs. Broad menu offering western & Thai dishes... Also... Great coffees & teas. I had a shrimp curry dish with rice and a delicious pumpkin (squash) soup. Recommended... I'll be back! 4 Jan 2024

Very nice forest/garden/water atmosphere. Seating is tucked away in an almost endless variety of environments making every visit a unique experience. The food was very good and moderately priced. Coffee and cake is good as well.

Bumped into it while on my flower shopping spree. Very nice drink. Cool inside with shades and trees. Avocado toast was excellent. Will come again.
