Patrons rave about the dishes; from fluffy pancakes to perfectly cooked eggs, every option is a celebration of simplicity and quality.

But breakfast is just the beginning. The menu boasts a tantalizing selection of housemade cakes that simply cannot be missed.

Very nice coffe shop & cafe, it is the perfect location right on the beach front. We popped in a couple of times once for coffee and cake and another time for breakfast. The breakfast was very nice. American style. Everything was fresh and served well. Staff were friendly and happy and helped us set up the wifi while we were there. We will definatly be back next time we visit. Thank you to all.

Probably the best cafe along this beach. Price of cake and coffee is very reasonable. I had a double shot espresso for 50 baht and it tastes better than many cafe in Bangkok that charges double the price. They also have craft beer, mostly Thai. Decent selection. Some tasty IPAs. Great for a quick break

Great little coffee and cake place at Pak Meng. We could t find this place on Google maps. In fact another coffee shop name came nearby this place and we were driving past. It ended up being a wonderful brunch and coffee stop. Highly recommend their chocolate drink. They use only good quality cocoa butter and not powdered cocoa. Latte was also really well made. Super tasty food as well thoroughly enjoyed. Highly recommend this coffee shop. Suggestion to owner: please put the word “Coffee” after white lay bay in your name so that the place can be found in a Google map search.

The most popular cafe in this area. There are always customers visiting this place all day. That proves a lot about how delicious beverages they make. My boyfriend loves the Espresso like crazy. He drinks more than 3 cups per day there, lol. As for me, I love the dark chocolate.
