Lovely small cafe with cool aircon. Very nice owner. We ordered the delicious khao soi with beef. Excellent. Perfect medium-spicy with thick, rich curry. The coffee selection is good and reasonably priced too. Also owner gave us ice water. Very thoughtful. Cute atmosphere inside with fresh flowers. Outside in back faces a large pond. It's right beside Um Dang ceramic studio.

Issy Coffee is one of my favorite places to visit when I am in Dankwian. The coffee is excellent. I cannot speak to mixed espresso drinks, I just drink Americanos and straight espresso. The air conditioning is good and the help is helpful and friendly. It is right on the main road from Korat to Choke Chai about 1/2 Kilo before the Pedestrain bridge, just before Umdang Ceramics. Pictured is a friend's latte and an Americano
