This coffee joint roasts their beans on site but weren't doing it when we were there. We read about it online and it was on my 'places to go' list. It got good reviews in general and while the food was decent, and the coffee 'not bad' according to Yen, the service there pales in comparison to the other eateries we've patronized. We were met with broad smiles and a desire to communicate even though we don't speak Thai at many of the restaurants we've been to, this one 'stood out' for their lack of warmth. The place is airy and bright, but I don't think we'd make another trip there.
We got a couch at the corner which was nice and comfy and Meg lost no time in snuggling in.
Their wild mushroom risotto, which Meg and I shared.
Yen had the basil chicken with rice.Verdict: It's Greyhound over Kuppa for us anytime! We Love Greyhound and Baan Khanitha. The service at these two places are impeccable!
WOODSTREET
We saw pictures of this place in a book Yen bought which features interesting places listed by local designers and personalities and this was one of them. Located in a very un-touristy area, this is a place one would probably go to if one were looking to furnish a new home. It's quite a ride from town, in the Bang Sue area, near Chatuchak but we thought we'd visit it anyway. The wonderful smell of wood hits you once you get onto the street. There are all kinds of wood shops along the rather long street. There are wood merchants who sell raw timber planks, wood carvers, wood furniture shops, hardware shops which have almost everything under the sun and woodcraft shops which sell wooden letterings and even bathtubs! It was an interesting walk and we managed to catch the setting sun with lovely evening light as well.
