Sila Coffee & Bistro — Restaurant in Chon Buri Province

We came here for coffee, and I was greatly impressed not only with the place and quality of the service, but also with the food we ordered. I asked for a Machiatto, and it was just perfect. Although the main coffee beans used in Thailand are robusta, my coffee was brewed from Arabica beans. I also ordered a couple of gelattos: rum with raisins, and blueberry yogurt. The rum was unbelievable, very creamy and perfectly done. So was the yogurt, although for my personal taste, it had a little bit of too much cheesy taste. The menu is ample and offers all kinds of items for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. The bistro also offers a generous variety of cakes and cookies to please almost everybody. As I mentioned above, the place is very nice, inviting and clean (this includes the bathroom, which offers soap and paper, an upgrade to Thai standards), with a business area, an outdoor patio, an upstairs area, in addition to the main area. I have uploaded several pics so hopefully they will give you an idea. They also have a children's mini playground in the front that we appreciated so our daughter could play some. Oh, btw, there is free parking available in the front. So far in my three trips to Thailand, this is the best coffee I had by far (Aug 2019), although I am told by local people there are many more places same or better than this one. I'm amazed at the contrasts in Thai society, a developing country where one can increasingly find very contemporary, fancy and sophisticated (the excellent music playing on the PA speakers is yet another proof of that) places done with much gusto such as this one. I give this business 5 stars without reservations, and I hope I...

Sila Coffee & Bistro is an air-conditioned Thai restaurant with a diverse menu, perfect for family and friends. It's nestled within a small commercial complex, with a parking lot out front and a fitness center situated behind it. While the location used to have multiple entry roads, currently, the only entrance is directly from the main road (likely due to construction). Right next door is a specialty coffee shop with full service, and a smaller, drinks-only stall is located outside on the main road with continuous customer flow. Though the main bistro is tucked away inside the compound, it seems to be well-known among locals. The Food Critique The Crab Omelette is priced at 295 Baht. While it contains plenty of large crab pieces, the meat itself lacked natural sweetness, and the omelette was a bit under-seasoned. Many tables ordered crab, suggesting it is likely fresh, but even tasting the pure crab meat, I found the flavor to be disappointingly bland. However, their single-plate dishes are generally good. The Khao Kluk Kapi (Shrimp Paste Rice) was beautifully presented and packed with generous toppings. The Khao Man Kung (Rice with Shrimp Fat) was flavorful from the shrimp fat used for frying, but the mixed egg component came out granular or clumped. Souvenirs: The restaurant also sells a selection of treats and desserts to take home, including macarons, egg tarts, cake,...

Generally an interesting and good looking venue situated in a quiet soi off the main road. The menu choice looked ok by there wasnt a lot of variation really. Staff service was rather poor but they did have a service bell on each table - you just feel a bit shouty using it. Food quality was rather average. They had a small band playing Friday night and they were pretty good. I won't go back again but worth a try if you're...
