At prices that won’t make your eyes water
This Thai-owned coffee house is one of the most convenient places to get a caffeine fix without compromising on the taste of what you are drinking—thanks to a wealth of locally grown beans from Northern Thailand and some international imports. The Thai-focused menu here is also good to curb your comfort food cravings. There are several deals right now, like a steal of a deal on chicken green curry fried rice—currently on promotional price of B79 from B128.
