Back to School Cafe & Roastery
Rob's take
"A school-themed cafe that roasts its own coffee, which is a better combination than it sounds. Plenty of choice at the counter, school desks to sit at, a friendly atmosphere, and it is not far from the beach."
Back to School Cafe & Roastery is a spot to eat or drink in Na Chom Thian, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.8★ on Google, budget-friendly pricing. Open daily, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM.
A specialty coffee roastery just south of Jomtien, roasting its own house blends alongside single-origin beans. The setting plays on the name — school desks and tables to sit at, wood and white, with a garden outside the window, and the cakes are baked in-house rather than bought in. Open daily from 8am to 6pm, inexpensive, and spacious enough to work with small children in tow.
