    First of all, this is very home, nostalgic, basic, simple place. If one is looking for none of the above, you may not enjoy this place. This no Michelin or fancy service. It's pure tradition, home style, authentically original and simple. If you love such vibes, yes. Coffee (or ovaltine), eggs (half boiled), toasted plain bread with Kaya jam at side for you. That's the basic breakfast. The place is cosy and homely and place for slowly enjoy the drinks and watch the time go by. Coffee is good for me. Kaya is special. I would say a good experience and good chill out for a different. Stay simple and hosts are nice. Don't think there's a need to compare different country Kaya or bread, or coffee here... This is how it's like locally. Simply Thai. And simply Nice.

    Very local breakfast nostalgic vibe. The place runs by 3 old ladies, so the service is not much to expect but nothing was bad. This place only serve coffee, tea, cocoa, kaya toast, and onsen boil eggs. Kaya toast and coffee was good, not too sweet, just how i like. Only down side is there is no parking.

    Hainan/British/Thai Breakfast Spot. Experiance hot it was 75 years ago to get a western kind breakfast. Robusta Coffee, Egg in a glass, Kaya Toast. It tasted great and I felt back into the founding years of Thailand. The two Sisters were nice and friendly to me. The brother came out later and talked to me for a while and answered all my question. Which I am very thankful for. I really want to understand and know the old times of Siam/Thailand. I will defently go there again. Thank you.

    I have read many claims comment about the attitude’s of elders baba in the shop after experienced it by myself 🤣 The ugly truth is they will be cold and want you to get out of the shop if you do something that makes them don’t want to welcome you. I did slightly move their chairs and they said pls don’t move anythings because they are too old, it’s okay I understand. And then when I open my laptop for checking some stuffs, one of them tried to swept the dust, and they told me the shoo will close in 15 mins because it was 12am although the information said that will open until 3pm, haha About the food, kindly acceptable for the flavor but not really taste that much. Ice coffee quite light, dipping sauce lightly sweetened and I loved it. It goes as well with the soft boiled egg. Total 4 slices of bread, 1 soft boiled egg, 1 iced milk coffee and 1 ice milk tea cost 140baht. and will not come back for the second time 😬
