Once Upon A Time Cafe

visited Once Upon a Time while I was in Laos, and I ended up going three mornings in a row that’s how good it was. Their latte is honestly perfect. I’m not sure if it’s the beans they use or how they make it, but every cup was consistently smooth, rich, and full of flavor. It was the kind of latte that made my whole morning better. The shop itself is quiet and perfect for studying. The staff were also nice. Even now, I still miss that latte. Highly recommended for any coffee lover visiting Laos. If you try just one coffee spot, make it this one.

I think you pay more for atmosphere than food. The food is nutritious, but I felt there was something left to be desired. Got the protein bowl and it was not bad, but it didn't make me dance. The fruit was ripe and tofu cooked well. If you eat for the natural flavor of vegetables and such, you'll like this. I asked them for the cheese fries with no bacon and said I was vegetarian. They nodded like they understood, and yet chunks of cooked pig were in my fries 😩. My dog liked it tho. She was stoked. I think if you eat meat you will like it. But if you're Veg or Vegan, order from the safe items and do not attempt to alter the dishes. The vibe inside the place is really nice. It would be a good, peaceful place to sit and work. I give 3 stars bc I think it was too expensive for what is was and they told me they'd put no meat but gave me meat.

A sweet cafe without many people today when I went for lunch. The menu posted online was the old one, the new one has different choice with about double the price than before. Food was great, just little saulty for me.

Foods is nice and reasonable price.. I ordered a pandan crepe dessert and Pad Thai. Both surprisingly taste good! Will visit next time

I liked their soft shell crab and soft rolls. Teriyaki chicken had no sauce. We told them, hope they get the chicken right next time. Place is great in general.

Amazing latte at a very good price (25k for the regular size). Smooth, the taste of the coffee was nutty but not overpowering the milk. Really good. Also had the peanut butter banana panini which was crispy and hot, perfect for a great morning. Took a long time to come here but I will definitely be coming back.

Nice place to get breakfast and coffee. They have menu you can point at items if you don't know Lao language. Be sure to confirm if you want hot or cold drink as did order cold Cappuccino and got hot one still was good though.

Food and ambience were great but service was lacking. Due to language difficulties, I requested for help after my meal to get a tuk tuk back to my hotel which was quite a distance away. The staff did not bother to extend any form of assistance and I started to get anxious as I was there alone and there were hardly any tuk tuks in the vacinity as the cafe is away from the main tourist area.
