Excellent cafe and a good social cause

First-rate coffee and food in a delightful space. A creative intelligence underpins everything about it. Supports farmers too. I believe it is the best cafe in Luang Prabang.

great cafe by the Mekong

This relatively new cafe is a very good copy of Joma's business strategy. Order at the counter, get a number, a limited menu. Nice location and good coffee.

Thank jobst56

Hi, It’s great that you enjoyed your visit to Saffron. A distinct characteristic of our business is that every cup of our locally grown and processed coffee directly benefits around 800 small-hold farming families in Northern-Laos. Safe travels, Derek

A place for coffee

Maybe the place for the best coffee in Luang Prabang, while enjoying the view of Mekong River. Saffron also got really good food, for example wraps.

Such a lovely café.

We stumbled upon this before checking TripAdvisor. It was inviting, not least because they had traditional shortbread! We had tea, coffee and two cakes, priced a little less than you might pay in the UK. Delicious. We didn’t have a meal but, from what we...More
