Honey Cafe & Slow Bar

★ 4.9 · 82 reviews Phonsavan Opened Opening date unknown

Directions

A real pour-over slow bar in a town that mostly serves instant

Specialty coffee this far north in Laos isn't a given, which is why Honey Cafe gets noticed. It runs a proper slow bar, pour-over included, pouring Geisha-variety beans grown locally in Xieng Khouang province, processed natural, washed and honey.

It's a small setup, no food menu like Cranky-T or Craters down the road. Everything here is built around the coffee. In a town where other cafes mostly run instant or basic drip, that focus is the whole point.

Good to know

Ask what's on the slow bar that day, the Geisha lots processed natural, washed and honey rotate.
This is the specialty-coffee stop in Phonsavan, not the all-day cafe; go for the coffee, not a meal.

I order latte is pretty good one, I have egg tart and latte, it around 85.000k for 2 items, not crowded place, i hope i can work here a bit longer and order something more but one staff just stare me a while (maybe because i was sit there since 11AM to 2PM, kinda long) so i feel a bit awkward and leave instead just order something more BUT the other staff so kind, friendly, and talk nice to me, i will go there again for sure

Very good coffee. The owner takes time and real effort into making every cup of coffee. Thank you.

By far the best coffee I had during my 2 weeks in Laos. Very fresh and clearly good quality. I also had the banana and Nutella crepe which was huge and delicious. I highly recommend this adorable little shop.

The best place in town for breakfast. Vietnam coffee was very sweet (perhaps because I'm not used to) but delicious. Will recommend for friends.

Great little cafe in Phonsavan . The coffee is super and the owner is friendly. Do try their Matcha range of smoothies is also a must try
