Phra Khanong/Suk 71 New Coffee Shop.

Phra Khanong is changing, not only along the BTS/Sukhumvit corridor but along Suk. 71 as well.

By accident I just discovered a very nice, new Italian coffee cafe off Pridi (soi) 13:

CAVALLO CAFFE;

A lot of work went into this place. A brick Italianate exterior and an interior with terra cotta colored walls and brick accents. Many coffee styles along with a small selection of sweets. Beer is also on offer. Prices for coffees are B30 up to B60.

The location is really obscure and you would never find it if you didn't know it was there, or by accident as I did. Take Pridi 13 (7-11 on corner next to footbridge) in about 100M to a small roundabout and take the soi on the left. Cavallo is 20M on the right.

Worth mentioning: opposite Pridi 13, just pass Pridi16, a new shop selling high end coffee making equipment has opened in the space formerly occupied by Phantom Motorcycles. A very upscale looking place in a decidedly downscale neighborhood. Go figure.
