We came across this fantastic rustic cafe driving along the "forest" road. They are a university coffee growing research centre selling coffee - beans and some teas - to passers by and it is such a wonderful place plus the coffee is excellent. It's well worth a trip out to have a cup, or two, of coffee.

That’s an amazing place. What a GEM. We went for ride into the mountains and rode past here. We were a bit hungry. The place is awesome, 50 baht for a meal and coffee for 40 baht. The view is amazing. And so is this place.

Great little place, tasty coffee, beautiful view. But its a bit far from everything:D make sure to drive carefully some of the fallen spikes on the road are very slippery on scooter

If you love a delicious full-bodied coffee in a natural jungle setting then this will hit the spot. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to the many birds, cicada and the wind in the trees while having our cup. No man-made noises whatsoever... and only 30 minutes from the city. To make this cafe perfect: the very friendly waitress knows English!

Amazing and peaceful place! We didn’t taste the coffee but it looked delicious. We had rice and omelette though and it was very tasty. Be sure to stop by!
