Deep Dive

Highlights

The cafe is located on the 2nd floor, with a creative, Japanese-inspired decor full of dolls, figurines, and photo spots. Many people describe it as "cute," cozy, and perfect for relaxing, reading, or working.

The atmosphere is consistently rated highly (4–5 stars), with private corners, quiet spaces, and a stylish design.

Food & Drinks

Coffee and desserts receive mixed feedback. Some praise items like the cappuccino, Thai tea croissant, Hokkaido cocoa, and chocolate cake. Others complain about weak flavors (especially matcha), overly sweet drinks, or poor value for money.

Prices are considered mid- to high-range (฿90–400 per item/person). Some feel it's overpriced for portion size and quality.

Service

Staff are often described as friendly and sweet, but several reviewers report poor service at the counter, rude cashiers, long wait times, or inconsistent quality. Rules like "one drink per person" and time limits (2 hours) annoyed some customers.

Other Notes

  • Good for taking photos, meeting friends, or studying/working, though Wi-Fi has been unreliable in the past.

  • Parking is difficult.

  • Bathrooms need maintenance according to some.

Quick Verdict

A visually charming, Instagrammable cafe with a great atmosphere but uneven service and hit-or-miss food quality. Best for the vibe and photos rather than exceptional coffee or desserts.
