Dear Malvina, thank you so much for taking the time to write this lukewarm review about us. You are our first review that's lower than 5 stars and since we really care about what we do, we tried to understand why we disappointed so much that you took time out of your holiday to tell others that our coffee is 'ok'. We serve Saffron coffee by the way, which you thought was tasty when you had it there according to your review there. Anyway, it doesn't matter, we can't always please everyone. Since you specifically mentioned us being closed (and since indicated that your 'meh' review is based on the fact that you didn't get to try our food, we would like to explain why: In Luangprabang there is no quality veterinary care whatsoever. So the day you found us closed, and believe us, we're really sorry about that, we were driving 9 hours through the mountains back from the veterinary hospital with our anxious dog. We didn't have enough staff to keep the café open, again, really sorry about that, but since you mentioned it, we wanted to explain the reason why. That was it I guess. We are really sorry we didn't live up to your standards. We will try to do better. Also, we have a menu published online and one outside of the café. Expensive if a subjective concept. For anyone who's curious about our 'ok' coffee: the arabica beans we use are locally grown in the North of Laos. Farmers get a good price for their organically grown, wildlife friendly beans. This means they don't cut the forest for monoculture plantations, but rather grow the coffee mixed with other trees and shrubs, so that a large variety of wildlife species can still survive on the plantations. Come and try it, it's actually delicious 😋
