Assana Cafe — Restaurant in Nakhon Ratchasima Province

CUSTOMER SERVICE – only provided to foreign visitors

CONCLUSION: Well, if you only want to visit a nice ‘nature place’ this one might be OK for you. - But if you are also looking to ‘feel welcome’, we recommend going to other places.

DETAILS: Today we dropped by at this Café. We first wanted to check out the outdoor area, but the staff insisted that we need to order and pay first before we can go and see to the outdoor area. – So, we first ordered and paid. Although at that time we were the only customers waiting to be served, we had to pick up our coffee and sweets, while at least half a dozen of staff where just standing around.

We were also advised to go to another building to collect the food that we ordered ☹.

Shortly after this experience a family with kids (foreigners) sat down next to our table, and to our great surprise, the staff served them at their table.

And to finally make us feel even a bit worse, we saw one of the staff running to the other building picking up some cooked food and bringing it to another place. - Quite an experience!

Well, we left not to return and went to another coffee shop where we really...

This is indeed a very unique café to be found surrounding the many hidden creeks of Khoa Yai. Visiting early for that morning coffee, the air was fresh and cool. The café serves that much needed caffeine and an assortment of beautifully arranged sweet desserts such as waffles and honey butter toast. The estate is extensive and covers a camping ground filled with tents of all sorts in the cool month we were here. Beyond the open green garden next to the café is a hidden creek with beautiful cascading waterfalls. This café packs a lot, it even has a playground which parents finds to our delight. And then there was the colorful tractor train which brought us on a rattling joy ride for a very small fee. There is also a food shack featuring a small menu that serves iconic Thai dishes such as kapow (spicy Thai basil) meat dishes. So, the place is good for a local lunch, or one could get burgers from the main cottage where the coffee is served. Getting here is easy as it is just off a well-travelled road. Drinks, snacks, meals and lots to do, a very worthwhile venue to add to your travel plans...

Amazing for a laid back brunch A great place for brunch, with such a gorgeous feel.

Staff are attentive, although you do feel a little under pressure to order.

Food portions are not big but very tasty.

We were put at a table in the corner, and wish we had moved to somewhere more central as we couldn’t see more view.

Absolutely the perfect place for Sunday brunch out of the city....
