Cozy cafe that feels like home, with a unique variety of coffees and traditional Indonesian herbal drinks for health. The owners are two talented musicians, and one of them practices traditional Thai and Indonesian medicine. You can consult in their holistic clinic, which is next to the cafe, by appointment. Highly recommended to come get to know them and their Indonesian style coffee. Two thumbs up.

Tucked in the alley way, such a peaceful and calm place to be! It feels so homey and cozy the moment you walked in. The musical show you get from the young owner himself is a lovely surprise!

Very good and Cozy coffee shop in Chiangmai. the store is nearby Lotus Hangdong in the village. The coffee shop is home coffee shop. There are many coffee roaster to selected and all are imported from Indonesia????????. The price is reasonable. I also order Indonesian layer cake called kue lapis legit. The taste is good and I recommend everyone to order layer cake. Owner do it all by herself and service is very good. There musics community every Saturday. If you are interested to music or be a part of the club you could enjoy as well.

Best cafe ever. I’ve been in Chiang Mai for 5 years and this my fav. A brother and sister own it and they are also incredible musicians. Coffee is Indonesian inspired and they have classic coffee drinks but also a ton of insanely cool Indonesian style coffee. Aesthetic inside and out is homey and cool. I recommend the Sama Signature coffee and the Iced Orange. Amazing people, amazing quiet location and amazing coffee. It has my heart.

The cafe has a homey feeling. The family who run the cafe is very friendly, welcoming and kind. They have board games which my kids love to play while we, the parents enjoying some coffee. The highlight of the cafe is the live accoustic session. You can even request a song!!

This is one of my favourite spots in Chiang Mai! A cosy cafe with amazing Indonesian coffee made with love by the owners themselves. They are a pair of siblings who are also talented musicians, so the cafe even has live music! Make sure to try the homemade Craft Cola, which has all the taste of coke without any nasties.
