Spaniel Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 For those that frequent the Big C on Pattaya Klang then you are probably familiar with the coffee shop near the entrance to the supermarket and near the True office. I'm sure it has a name but I don't recall it. Many times I had wanted to stop for a coffee there but the place was always packed with old geysers (like myself) so never got to give the place a try until last week. I had a hot latte which was excellent for B40. Give it a try if you can find a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddog Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Italians clog the place up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerrygoat Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Excellent I agree, I use it regularly but I think you will find the hot latte is 60 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoboi Bebobp Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) OK, good report. Got an americano there years ago and it was pretty awful. Will try it again. Although, as noted, it's always very busy, which is a good sign, However, for me, the best coffee is at Black Canyon. A bit pricey (55 or 65 baht, can't remember) but it's very rich and is good till the last drop. Edited March 10, 2017 by Kaoboi Bebobp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanW Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It's better than the place upstairs next to the Dtac stand. Insipid (the latte not Dtac) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had a coffee machine at home I'd never go out ??? It's quite tricky getting the right combination of a good quality latte, air conditioning, WiFi, service and price.

We had one in Big C Xtra 2-3 years ago , next to the food court , but the owner moved out . The new owner took over and didn't know how to make a decent espresso or latte so the business went down like a rock. I tried one cup and never again .

It's a place to relax while your wife shops. It's not tricky at all finding a good latte. If you don't like these, try Black Canyon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Expresso's only 40 baht and it's quite OK. Not bad for people watching too, out there in the center. Even ran into the former owner of Chevin Gym there, Duncan, whom I hadn't seen in many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cappuccino was a cup of foam. She's in a great location, but very quiet. You'd think someone would be honest with her so she could learn the right way to make coffee and of course, some money.

If the Cappu is not your taste, try the pretty decent MANGO SMOOTHIE. Costs 65 Baht and the percentage of actual fruit seems quite high. Tell them MAI WAAN MAAK to avoid a liquid sugar orgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink too many protein smoothies at home with fresh and frozen fruit and no added sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
