Leewine Coffee

This coffee shop is a part of bigger establishment consisting of restaurant and souvenir store. Good choice of drinks and western style cake, there are some snacks from China / Taiwan as well. Coffee and bubble tea were decent enough. Bit long wait necessary since it’s a quite popular place. Upstairs seating area has very good view over the lake.

Absolutely stunning view. Good coffee and home made cakes.

Access to the Boat Pier Entrance is from this Leewine Coffee cafe and down a steep staircase to the boats. Advance booking is highly recommended, especially during the peak winter season from November to January.

When they are one of the few cafe here, everything taste good. Ate the burnt cheese and passion fruit cheese cake, yummy! They also provide boat service with a slight discount. 3 pax 400 baht instead of 450 for boat ride. Cakes are 120 baht each. Tips: as always, come during June their off peak season, try to avoid rainy day.

The most delicious matcha I have ever had in Thailand. Staffs can speak English very well. Also, the shop is connected with pier so you can buy tickets at counter and just hop on to the boat. Prefer visiting at night but daytime also gives spectacular scenery with mountains background.

This is a traditional Ban Rak Thai cafe made of bamboo and leaves. Although the prices are high, you can enjoy a peaceful time while overlooking the lake. The recommended seats are on the second floor on the lake side, but the first-floor lake-side seats also offer a charming atmosphere.

The coffee was decent and nothing outstanding. But the view was stunning! We took the boat ride from this place and got 10% discount from the bill of Leewine Restaurant. You can rent a boat for 40 mins that takes you in the middle of the lake and enjoy the view of the town while sipping oolong tea. We paid 450 baht for a large boat that could easily fit 5-8 people. After our ride, we tipped the young boy who was our boatman 100 baht because he paused rowing when we asked, waited patiently while we took photos, and turned on the lanterns when we requested even though it was daytime. In the evening, the boats turn on the red lanterns and the entire area lights up in a beautiful red hue. Watching the boats go by evokes a sense of peace and relaxation.

The coffee tasted like any other coffee that one can have in common urban cafes. It was good. But the view from the cafe is spectacular, which makes going here a unique experience. I wish I can go back soon, not for some fast travel, but for travelling to relax.
