Kays Espresso Bar

Mr John and I visited this place again having been taken there by Pii Kob.  We felt fortunate we'd turned up just after they'd opened as within half an hour, the place was buzzing with people.

Situated across the bridge, half way between the Eastern Hotel and Latte Coffee House, this place has only just opened.  The best way to describe the coffee is ... the nearest thing to Starbucks you'll find in Chan.  We also indulged in the coffee cake though there were lots of nice looking macaroons on display and it was very good.  A hot latte will set you back 55 baht but you get what you pay for.  Being newly opened, they are still sorting out their system for service I heard that one lady went there and waited two hours for her coffee partly because they lost her order.

The outside space has been beautifully landscaped and there's plenty of seating.  If you manage to get a seat inside you won't be disappointed with the selection of semi-comfortable chairs, air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi.  The toilets are sit down and this is going to sound weird the view through the big glass window in the Ladies is really pretty.  There's no need to worry, as you emerge from the cubicle there's a free standing large mirror above the sinks to shield you from being seen.

Our advice is definitely to go here but probably earlier rather than later if you want to avoid the queues and get your coffee in a timely manner.
