Visited this place to bring home coffee for ourselves, and for family and friends. The staff was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. We tried the instant coconut coffee and instant durian coffee - both tasted very good.

Cute coffee shop where we bought beans - they walked us through everything they had to offer and even gave us a taste to try!

Really cute spot with amazing tasting coffee (I suggest the coconut coffee). They offer a variety of coffee to buy and take home. The seating area as well as the bathroom are clean and modern. The staff is super kind and communicative. We actually ended up chatting with them for an hour and had a great time!

The customer service and the coffee is top grade, they were happy to explain everything patiently and made me a cup of the best coffee I ever had, it was so good that I went back the next day to buy more. Their weasel and kopi-luwak is more expensive than the thousands of other coffee stores you see around old quarter but then again this is the real deal. Try this place, you won’t regret.
