Sometimes Coffee & Gallery

This place opened around Christmas time but it took me until Rachel visited to get my act together and try it out. It looked so tiny from the outside that if you saw a few people standing near the door, you'd think it was pointless going in. Well fear not, there's actually plenty of room. This is because there is a large second floor which also has a terrace leading off it. Whilst the downstairs is air-conditioned and has a couple of couches and tables, upstairs relies on floor standing fans and cushions that surround the low tables.  

Situated diagonally opposite Tamujan bar in the old town, you will find a lot of art dotted all round the walls, with upstairs having a whole wall with peoples sketches pinned to it. Downstairs, by the service counter, there are some really nice postcards and other artsy things to buy. English is not the first language here but enough English is spoken and the people are so smiley and friendly that it really doesn't matter.

I really enjoy the hot latte here and at 40 baht it is reasonably priced. Mr John finds a black coffee acceptable. They have a small selection of cakes that, portion wise, are smaller than other coffee shops in town however they taste good and range from 35 to 55 baht, so not too much to complain about.

As with everywhere here in town, if it's busy the service is very slow so be prepared to wait. We found this when we went with Emma on the last lovely cool Sunday we had. If you go through the week though, service is very efficient and you can sit on a comfy couch and enjoy the free Wi-Fi. There is also a toilet on the premises but I can't give you any detail on that yet.

You can find Sometimes on facebook. So why not check it out?
