This place is a huge disappointment. We arrived around 11:20 in the morning and ordered coffee and poached eggs. The coffee arrived in 10 minutes, but it took exactly 50 minutes to make the eggs, even though the place wasn't fully seated. By the time the eggs arrived, the coffee had already gone cold, but let's not dwell on that.

For 160 baht, you get 2 small pieces of white bread with 2 eggs on top, plus one small cherry tomato. Basically, that's all. We paid an extra 70 baht for avocados, yet the portion was still small and somewhat empty. The flavor is really bland; it seems they don't use any salt or spices, resulting in eggs that taste like... well, just raw egg. To salvage any flavor, we ended up adding a considerable amount of salt. Generally, these are the worst Eggs Benedict I've ever tried.

Moreover, there were no tissues or toilet paper in the bathroom, even though we arrived in the morning just a few hours after the opening.

The only good things are the interior and comfortable seats. They also have many sockets, making it a potentially good place to work, if you can ignore the constant noise of the coffee machine. I'd probably choose this place only if I needed to work nearby and just grab a coffee. However, the breakfast here is a failure from any...

I went there expecting a better experience, the place is nice and in a great location, the coffee was average and so was the sweets, watermelon smoothie was good, but I again I was expecting more

This part of the review is after the owners comment..

I would like to give my appreciation for the quick response from the owner, it truly means they care

Yes, you are absolutely correct. You deserve a more detailed comment. True, I did not try the food, I had just finished breakfast, and based on a friend's recommendation, we came for the coffee and some desert, I ordered the coffee and asked the gentleman what he recommends for desert, true the coffee taste is subjective, but I personally did not like it very much, as for the cookie, it was not the sweetness, as this is what I was looking for, but it was not fresh. For the service, nothing was wrong per se except that maybe we have been spoiled the past few days wherever we went, the friendliness that usually comes with the service did not exist this morning, and they seemed detached. I will definitely come again and try...
