This charming juice bar on Rue des Français in Vientiane is a real hidden gem with an ideal location just a short walk from Sihom Night Market. It’s become a sensation on social media, drawing young locals and visitors alike – particularly South Koreans, though you’ll spot plenty of Europeans, Americans, and Japanese tourists too. I stumbled upon it after seeing rave reviews online and decided it was well worth a try.

The drinks here are on the pricier side compared to the night market, but the quality justifies the cost. I’d highly recommend the avocado smoothie, priced at 50,000 kip. The taste is exquisite a perfect blend of creamy avocado with a hint of sweetness that’s neither overwhelming nor bitter. It’s refreshingly rich and smooth, a unique flavour that stands out from typical street offerings.

The shop itself spans two floors, and the upstairs area offers a particularly relaxing retreat. You’ll find tatami seating, ideal for unwinding in comfort while enjoying the strong air conditioning a blessing in the Lao heat. Do keep in mind that the upstairs area is quiet, as most guests here seem absorbed in their own world, either reading or working. It’s a calm, respectful atmosphere that invites you to savour your drink in peace.

Overall, this juice bar is a delightful stop for anyone looking to experience the café culture in Vientiane. Whether you’re here to indulge in a superb smoothie or simply to escape the hustle of the night market, it’s definitely worth a visit.
