Really good, strong, freshly ground coffee. The owner was also incredibly friendly, spoke great English, and was probably one of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve met in my travels. It’s only about a 4 minute walk from the slow boat street so if you arrive with some time to spare do yourself a favor and walk up here.

Awesome little coffee shop with a cute interior seating area. I've bought bags of roasted whole bean coffee from them before as well. They get coffees delivered from Xiengkhuong and Kafe-in-Lab in Vientiane.
