The location across from Wat Mahathat and air-con turned up to 11 make this a good place to recharge during a day of temple-hopping. There's shrimp noodle soup, croissant sandwiches, spicy spaghetti kêe mow and, of course, various forms of caffeine. It's all served amid cabinets full of traditional Thai art.
