About Rose Espresso Cafe

Easy to walk past on Krabi Road: the door hides behind tour posters, an exchange sign and an ATM, and only the gold letters above it give it away. Inside is a single narrow room papered with tiny roses, with floral china, a cuckoo clock and a board of postcards left by customers over more than ten years. The espresso and the home-baked cheesecakes are the draw, with waffles, all-day breakfast and a few Thai dishes; there are only a handful of tables, so it fills quickly.
