One of my favorite points in Huay Xai, Lots of delicious cookies , an excellent cappuccino, also the chocolate cake it's so good . By the way, it is very cheap as well even when compared to coffee shops in Thailand. Special thanks to Aena, super friendly staff who told me about the foundation/school Dream Bakery as well, which also help the community in the Huay Village. I kinda like as well the "let's say" home made gift cards, the kids can get at the school to exchange for candies in the bakery . By the way, don't forget to try the Macaroni and the Bread with Sweet Potato and Raisin . You will not regret it. Thumbs Up

Great sandwich for takeaway, with secure packaging and tonnes of filling! Good for packed lunch on your way to either Thailand Border crossing or the Mekong River slow boat. Coffee is a bit of a let down - ordered an espresso and a cappuccino- but received two americanos but the whipped cream is lush nonetheless.

This bakery cafe has lovely asian style soft and fluffy breads. I chose a bread filled with red bean and cream. Having the bread and Lao style coffee is a good combination for breakfast.

Cute little bakery, with a great cause. We stopped in before the Gibbon Experience for breakfast, and got some fresh salad sandwiches. OK WiFi, and decent coffee. We didn't quite get what we ordered - but it hit the spot nonetheless.

It offers a comfortable atmosphere, good quality coffee, and sells bread and desserts produced on the same day. Coffee and bread were delicious. Above all, the newly released tortilla pizza was really delicious.
