mancub Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Give U+P Bakery (,just up from Ao Nang school ) a visit .....decent coffee , and also a wide range of cakes /croissants ,sandwiches etc . Very reasonable prices and a relaxed un-hurried atmosphere.........unlike Mc'Donalds ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwdrwdrwd Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Hmm. UP bakery.. Now their coffee is passable if you're lucky enough to get served, but my experience is that they offer awful service. First day I went at 5pm on the dot and ordered a coffee to take away and was refused. They close at 5. Fair enough, I thought, though not too difficult to make a takeaway coffee. Next day went mid afternoon, got an overpriced coffee. The food looked nice on the pictures so my wife and I took a table outside and looked at the menu in full view of 3 staff. After 15 minutes being ignored we gave up. Today I went at 4.30. "latte to take away please". To be informed by the same individual that had half-served me on both previous occasions that they were "closed" "but you told me you close at 5pm" "I turned off the coffee machine already" Two staff sat there twiddling thumbs half an hour before closing time and waiting for the clock to turn to 5. Not sure if the same people own the shop as are serving customers, but if not and the owners happen to read this - they are not representing your business well at all. At least Starbucks leave the machines on until closing time. Rant aside, there's a nice coffee shop and kwayteow shop (beef and duck) on the left hand side as you drive from krabi town to ao nang. Any more ideas for good coffee are very welcome as I certainly won't be giving UP Bakery another chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klongmuang Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Most of the restaurants offering European food have a decent coffee or espresso, especially those owned and run by Europeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyoldman Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I realize the OP said don't say McDonalds, and granted I don't eat the food there, but compared to the murky brown overpriced scheit served at all the other places including Starbucks, I find it quite o.k.
