"Super cute little coffee with lake view. Nice garden with lots of trees for extra shade. Food and drinks are delicious. They have a big terrace and also air conditioned inner part. So easy to spend a few hours here. Not that easy to find, so use google maps."

"Long weekend and Sunday already out of cake for a cafe... bad planning. A shame... As it could be great, but a lake view (which is at least very good and peaceful) and "not really" pet friendly. I'm sure others would have a good experience and very sirene feeling, so definitely worth trying, but just don't expect a friendly welcome for pet owners."

"The secret cafe where located in the Koksee area, beside of Lerng Jan rapid. The building is modern and simple.Although, the food and beverages cuisine are simple but the vibes of nature here is very attractive ."
