Finally Hua Hin delivers and I’ve found coffee worth a mention. Hooray!
I chanced upon a café on my first morning in Hua Hin and I found it in the unlikely named Darjeeling (of the tea variety) Unlimited.
The black coffee was espressed with care by the owner Alinnada Chaiyo. The coffee is rich, strong and with a thick crema. This is served in a cup with a handle that curves uniquely into the cup and then it is placed on a cute curved saucer – in immaculately clean white china. (see the photo) The coffee is grown in Chiang Mai and is 100% Arabica bean.
Darjeeling Unlimited has just a four tables and they concentrate on tea and coffee. By the way, Alinnada also makes an excellent pot of tea (this is her first love) which she serves in a large pretty teapot. A new business, the owner also imports and exports. Some of the goods are shown in the café and a range of jewelry, bags and other gifts are available for sale. The other photo is of Alinnada.
Then, just up the road is a café that looks rather like Starbucks. But that’s where the comparisons end. At Coffee World they serve superb coffee in large cups and their food would look at home in a Parisian café and tastes just as good.
Both Darjeeling Unlimited and Coffee World have fast internet access on great new computers (a bonus for a traveler) – the former is free to customers.
