What makes a juice “fresh” here?
It means the fruit is cut and pressed after you order, and nothing is added — no sugar, no syrup, no water. That is worth spelling out, because on this coast a “fresh juice” often arrives sweetened and a “smoothie” can be fruit syrup over ice. Four of them, all 119 ฿: orange (sweet and tangy, the usual choice with breakfast), apple (crisp and light), pineapple, and carrot — naturally sweet and the lightest of the four.
Shakes are a different thing: fruit blended with ice, thick enough to need a spoon at the start. They are 99 ฿ each — orange, watermelon, pineapple, banana, apple or dragonfruit — and mango is 119 ฿. Whipped cream on top is +15 ฿; skipping it is the healthier default.
The cold list, with prices
- Fresh juices — 119 ฿ · squeezed to order, no sugar added
- Fruit shakes — 99 ฿ · mango 119 ฿ · whipped cream +15 ฿
- Honey lemon — 99 ฿ · real honey with lemon, lighter than a shake
- Matcha latte — 99 ฿ · clear matcha, brewed with water rather than milk, also 99 ฿
- Still water — 25 ฿ · San Pellegrino 89 / 129 ฿
- Oat milk — +35 ฿ on any milk drink
Can you make it less sweet?
Yes, and this is the most useful sentence to learn here. Sweetness is adjusted on request on the matcha and tea drinks — ask for less sweet, or no syrup at all, when you order rather than after it arrives. The fresh juices have nothing added in the first place. If you avoid dairy, oat milk is +35 ฿ on any milk drink, including the whole matcha bar. There is more detail on the drinks in our coffee and matcha guide.
What is a genuinely light plate?
Breakfast runs all day until closing, so a healthy order is as easy at three in the afternoon as at eleven in the morning:
- Oatmeal with Berries — 149 ฿ (300 g). Creamy oats, strawberries and mixed berries, banana, honey, toasted nuts.
- Omelette — 149 ฿ (250 g). Three eggs, side salad, toast. Vegetables +20 ฿, mushrooms +25 ฿, cheese +25 ฿, chicken +30 ฿.
- Avocado Toast — 219 ฿ (220 g). Sourdough, smashed avocado, poached egg, lime, chilli flakes. The lightest thing here that is still a proper meal.
- Spinach Omelette Wrap with Garden Salad — 189 ฿. A green spinach omelette rolled with herbs and vegetables, honey-mustard dressing. Vegetarian.
- Greek Salad — 199 ฿ (300 g). Tomato, cucumber, pepper, red onion, olives, feta, oregano, olive oil.

- Avocado & Chicken Salad — 249 ฿ (300 g). Mixed leaves, grilled chicken, avocado, cherry tomatoes, seeds, citrus dressing — the protein plate.
- Burrata Salad — 389 ฿ (280 g). Creamy burrata, cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, rocket, balsamic. The one to split.
- Som Tam — Papaya Salad — 149 ฿. Green papaya with shrimp, cherry tomatoes, peanuts, lime and chilli. Properly spicy; ask for less chilli if you need to.
Ask for the dressing on the side if you want to control it. The full list with photos is on the menu page.
Vegetarian: what can you actually order?
Five plates we can point at without a conversation: oatmeal with berries 149 ฿, avocado toast 219 ฿, Greek salad 199 ฿, burrata salad 389 ฿ and the spinach omelette wrap 189 ฿ — plus pancakes at 149–169 ฿ if you want the other kind of breakfast, and any milk drink on oat milk for +35 ฿. Most contain egg or cheese, which suits most vegetarians and not everyone; if you avoid those too, say so when you order and we will go through the plate with you instead of guessing — we are a small kitchen and there is no separate vegan line.
Halal, and what that rules out
Everything we serve is halal: no pork and no alcohol anywhere, including in the sauces and the drinks. That matters for a healthy-eating page because it removes the usual hidden ingredients — no bacon in the salad, no wine in the dressing, no rum in the fruit drink. The mojito at 119 ฿ is non-alcoholic. We do not hold a CICOT certificate, so this is our own kitchen practice rather than a certification.
Air conditioning, Wi-Fi and staying a while
Inside it is air-conditioned with free Wi-Fi and seating that works with a laptop — which is why people often have a juice and then a salad two hours later. No reservation is needed: walk in.
