Food is delicious but don't forget to say not so spicy or you end up crying while picking chili on your food one by one but it is delicious that despite the over spiciness I still enjoy eating my order. The cake is so moist and it literally melts in your mouth. Fresh Orange and espresso is a real deal

Elegant, artistic decor gives this cafe and relaxing, up-market vibe. It was quiet for Sunday brunch so service efficient. Good value for great food : Pad thai with lots of chicken, the hamburger was served on a toasted bun with two succulent beef patties. Cappuccino was small but full, robust coffee flavour. An enjoyable experience to return for.

This is my second time here. I enjoyed lunch. Hawaiian pizza is good. I especially like a cafe latte at this restaurant. Atmosphere is also really nice.

A fine place for a quick lunch and coffee when you're in the area. I had the deep fried pork with basil and it was pretty good -- standard fare you'd get at a Thai restaurant. It's a comfortable restaurant with a good, varied selection on the menu. A good coffee shop/restaurant to do some work, I'd happily bring my computer here for the morning. Dessert and cakes also available. I'd eat here again.

I was about to rate this bad since I ordered a hot flat white and it didn’t taste upto the mark. I’ve been having coffees all around Vientaine. Coffee was not hot and tasted okay, quantity was less and priced high compared to other cafes. I gave 5 star rating for mix food with honey toast. This was impeccable, amazing taste, good enough portion and lots of fruits. In total a little overpriced. I have been to better cafes here but food was great so no complaints. Can definitely add some good vegetarian options in the menu though

Food was delicious but some of the dishes were very spicy, so check before if you don't want spice. Deserts were awesome. The atmosphere was great. Nice decoration inside. Prices were reasonable.

Delicious environment starting from the unique external facade as well as interiors. On two floors decorated with bricks, old library as well as mice painting here and there. The coffee counter is large and unique with menu in english. Some staff manage english, outdoor seating for smokers

Nice place. Great decoration. Full of antiques. Gives off vintage vibe but in modern setting. Every design is well thought out. The door handle is even a portal filter! Can you imagine that? High-end espresso machine - La Marzocco. Food is great. Ordered a pizza and black pepper beef. Latte art was amazing. Coffee was smooth. Not too strong or light. Just right. Recommended!
