Lovely cafe in Vientiane. Their menu is huge and has so much options for Vegetarians and Vegans. We tried their roasted vegetables sandwich and salmon and cream cheese bagel and they were both delicious. Not to mention the drinks were also super tasty. Everything was such great value for the super high quality! Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

This coffee shop may be a bit on the expensive side, but it's definitely worth it for their amazing waffles. The air conditioning is refreshingly cold, which I really appreciated. The service is top-notch, with well-trained and friendly staff. I highly recommend this place!

Super cozy, homey vibe. The interior was soo cutee, im in love. We ordered a salted caramel latte, a golden sand smoothie, and a banana brioche. They were all delicious, would recommend all three. Although its more on the pricier side, its 100% worth it, especially if you’re looking for a place to do some work or stay a bit long. Note: - the miniso sign might block the cafe’s front entrance so if u see the miniso sign or jiffy sign, the cafe’s there - highly recommend coming in a bit late (we went in around 3pm) to get that nice afternoon sunlight, it makes everything even better!

Excellent price / quality ratio. We arrived around to the cafe around 10 am in a rainy Sunday . It was full of young people mostly from S E Asian countries & Europeans. The atmosphere is rustic, well lit & very friendly staff. Extensive menu , Good selection of European, & Laotian , Thai dishes. Both assorted coffees & teas available..
