"Fab place. First cup of proper coffee on Koh Tao; got exactly what we wanted and we will be back. Love the styling; appealed to motorcyclists like us. Comfortable seating and has air con interior. Was offered some banana bread samples and traded my banana muffin/bread recipe which we hope satisfies. Thank you for the lovely hospitality!"

"Must do for coffee enthusiasts, professionals and lovers. High quality specialty coffees, good roast, great people. The owners can advise very well about their coffees and make perfect americano. Have a chat about what coffee would they recommend you base on your taste or open your flavor palette There is a good diversity in their coffee variaties and origins. Also they could take you in a private diving trip if you ask"

"The most delicious coffee I’ve ever had in Koh Tao. I tried ice americano but they also have drip coffee. Next time I will try it for sure. Not many foods. Nice people. It must be better if this shop located in a more beautiful spot."

"Looking for speciality coffee on Koh Tao? This was the first proper slow bar on the island and I believe still the only roaster too. Expect tasty light to medium roasts, (roasted in v xmall batches on site), expertly brewed by a friendly Barista, and served in a cool cafe surrounded by eclectic but fun decor. I visited twice, trying a pourover and two Americanos, all very well made. The only downside is they're closed on Thursday and Friday to roast! Cheers"

"Best coffee in Koh Tao! Nice chilled air conditioned cafe to escape the heat. Didn’t expect to find this level of third wave coffee on such a small island. The owners are lovely and roast their own beans so really know what they’re talking about. They also sell grinders, brewers etc. A must in Koh Tao!"
