The food here is definitely enjoyable, though it leans towards the pricier side, likely due to its location in a tourist area. The café offers a wide variety of food options, and I appreciate the concept that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. One downside was the slightly slow service after ordering at the counter, probably due to the crowd. However, the fresh fruit juice stood out as a highlight, far from the typical packaged alternatives. Overall, this place is worth a visit for anyone looking to enjoy a meal in a charming setting.

Stopped for a cake and coffee while my visit to the amazing handcrafts village. The terrace decoration is quite nice with cute little corners. We choose two cakes: basque cheesecake and coconut pie. Both were delicious.

A cozy café thoughtfully designed with an assortment of plants and flowers, providing a peaceful escape from the crowds of people in the market. It's a lovely spot to sit down with a friend and enjoy a coffee and slice of cake after walking around Baan Kang Wat. I enjoyed an Iced Hazelnut Coffee and a piece of apple crumble pie.

Nice cafe/restaurant inside Bang Kang Wat. Decorated with trees and plants. Downstairs a more vibrant and lively. But I prefer the upstairs area,it’s more quiet and spacious. Ordered the avocado toast with poached eggs on top. My favourite dish which is good. Nice place to take a break.Not many options inside the area.More cafes serve light snacks and drinks.So this place offer more main dishes like pasta and rice.
