A local favorite in Lashio. They have grown and really tried over time to make their place better. The outside ambiance is great with all the greenery and booths, but the inside lacks beauty, however they are trying to improve it. The food is consistently good and affordable, and they have a large cocktail menu, and the coffee is not bad!
