Craft Cafe

Yangon


This modern Asian cafe serves Singaporean dishes such as laksa noodles, which are perfectly fine if not amazing. You can also enjoy light bites such as kaya (coconut jam) on toast for breakfast. It's attached to a co-working space so it has good wi-fi, and there's local art to admire on the walls.

It's handy if you're strolling around the north side of Kandawgyi Lake.
