This place is a great place to get a coffee if you are looking for a high quality coffee and beautiful seascape view.
The coffee: This coffeehouse specializes in slow-process pour-overs which you can select the beans. The menu boasts both Thai beans as well as an imported selection. The Thai beans are 100 Baht ($3.35 USD, £2.44 , €2.76). The price for the imported beans increases from the 100 Baht price mark of course. They have all the beans out in labeled bottles so you can smell the beans before you choose your beans. This is a very fun activity and really creates a fun atmosphere. There is a small menu of lattes and milk-based drinks. There are three options of beans for these drinks.
Seating: There are five sections to sit in as far as I understand. 1) There is a small table with two rattan chairs. 2) There is a table with two chairs and two stools. 3) There are two chairs at the bar near the ordering section. 4) There are six reclining chairs under umbrellas. 5) There are some wooden benches near a small lotus pond and floral tree. There are no seats for toddlers or babies but you could make due with the reclining chairs.
Baked goods: There is a small range of pastries including but not limited to cookies, brownies, croissants, toffee cakes, and muffins. The toffee cake was super delicious and complimented the coffee very well. The oatmeal cookie was under-seasoned and a bit on the dry side. All the pastries are a great price coming in around 30-60 Baht.
Parking: You can park your car or bike in the hotel parking area. You will receive a parking slip from the guard as you enter and can get it validated by the front desk of the hotel or the restaurant beside the coffee bar. Also, beware that as you turn on the side road from the main road it is essentially a one-way road since cars park on the side of the road. The hotel, restaurant and coffeehouse are at the end of the one-way road.
I came here with my boyfriend two days in a row because of the tasty coffee and soothing sea views.
Please note they are only open on weekends. I’m not sure if this is because of COVID or because they are a new business. It is worth the time to come...
Read moreA secret spot located beside a hotel called Veranda Lodge. A great place to have coffee on a cloudy morning listening to waves breaking shore. The sound of the sea has always been calming. That was until my kid spotted cats and shouted to me in excitement. Her sharp piercing voice caused whatever tranquility there was to just burst into flames. This café features coffee oozed out of those manual espresso press that requires Arnold Schwarzenegger strength to operate. Other than that, they are supposedly famous for their drip coffee too. We arrived early at nine-ish, there were only two foreigners sat on different tables staring out the sea enjoying the moment. But it soon became crowded as the throng of local and foreigners arrived. This place popular we could see. Joining us in the café were about sixty tiny fruit flies buzzing around my face. Some of them successfully perching on my eyelashes from time to time. They probably enjoy the view of my pupil like how we humans enjoy looking at big moon rising. I went to the hotel restaurant next door and asked if I could order a hot breakfast to be had at the café. The answer was a direct no. Probing further, I found out that the café is part of the hotel, but food will not cross over. I next asked where the toilet is and got a very strong feeling my head was about to be snapped of by lady Thanos. Maybe my freshly dyed purple hair was more glamourous then her’s so she did not like me. We chillout here for a good hour or so. We watched the scene, listened to the waves so soothing. Horse riders came close coaxing us for a ride. The beach is just a few steps down, my daughter was out on the beach making new friends and spotting crabs in the low tide with them. It was a lovely...

When it comes to coffee, give their "Dirty" coffee a try. It's definitely worth sampling for its rich and satisfying flavor. However, be prepared for a bit of a challenge finding adequate shading on sunny days.
Despite the shading issue, the stunning view of the sea and the calming sound of the breeze create a truly relaxing ambiance. So, if you're in the mood for a peaceful moment with a good cup of coffee, Drip Rim Lay might just be the...
