    Good food and decent price. It might take them a longer time to prepare for food though. Huge backdoor patio dining area.

    This is a good spot off the main roads and in a narrow back road next to a hostel. Good setup, friendly staff, good food, coffee and a good selection of beer and other alcoholic drinks plus very well priced. I was there for.lunch but I believe it gets lively at night. There is an air-conditioned inside seating area and a large outside beer garden style area.

    Great atmosphere out back. Such good vibes and a good sitting/hanging space. Came for happy hour with my partner and we enjoyed the music and played some cards. He did the 100 baht happy hour draft beer.

    Nice ambience, food not bad but a pity let down by terrible service thus the 1 star rating because it really spoilt the mood of my lunch group. The café is part of a hostel in the old part of Bangkok near the Democracy Monument that was featured in a Thai architectural & interior YouTube channel. Didn't managed to see the rooms but the cafe & courtyard garden are nice. Food & coffee was not bad BUT it took 1 hour before the food was served! The café wasn't full and we were the only guests that ordered food. We didn't order many food, just 3 rice dishes & 2 deep fried items. The lady manager (I assumed) could have at least warned us before we ordered that the kitchen would take longer to cook our food instead she came out with a pathetic comment "not long to wait" (After an hour???) when we asked why our food is not out yet. 🤦‍♂️ It was as if the cook went out to buy the ingredients or was late for work! Thai people are friendly but their customer recovery is sorely lacking despite tourism being one of the country's main industry for so long.
