Crema's Take

Dek Doi Cafe has mastered the art of blending Southeast Asian flavors into coffee that actually tastes like something special—think black sesame lattes and coconut pandan drinks that let each ingredient shine rather than disappear into sweetness. The vibe here strikes that perfect balance between a serious workspace and a genuinely welcoming hangout spot, complete with live jazz performances and homemade pastries that pair beautifully with their creative drinks. Whether you're settling in for hours with your laptop or meeting a friend, this is the kind of place where both the coffee and the atmosphere feel like they were made with real care.

OMG, I think my sister and I just found our new favorite place! My sister was the one who discovered it, and the menu instantly caught our attention, so we had to try their drinks. We both ordered the Pandan Cream Cheese Thai Tea and were completely mind-blown by how delicious it was. I’ll admit, I struggled to choose because everything of their drinks and food looked so good. We were definitely not disappointed, and honestly, the drink might have been the star of our little fridate hangout! If you’re in the area, please give this place a try. Not only are the drinks amazing, but the interior is super cozy too. It’s a great spot to chill, work on your laptop, read a book, or just hang out. We’ll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

This is my new favorite cafe spot in the area! I got the banana latte and crab garlic noodles, 10/10! If you’re looking for a relaxed place to get work/studying done, while having options for food and drink — this is the spot. While I was there, it was quiet and lowkey so it’s easy to concentrate. There’s lots of seating and good wifi too. Great place for a coffee date or solo date!

There’s a similar café featuring asian flavors in the city that this place knocks out of the water - I got a coconut pandan latte that was strong while having the coconut and pa dan flavors shine through. The service was sweet and fast despite me coming in near closing (lol). The cafe has plenty of seating & seems like a good place to work (saw many groups hustling away on their laptops - didn’t look to closely to see if there were outlets)

This place is incredible! I don't often write reviews. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the black sesame latte, which was not too sweet & out of this world!! Apparently, they make the black sesame paste in house. I also had the fried chicken over white rice with a side of veggie curry (a menu special) and it was super fresh and delicious. I thought it was a bit pricey at first, but after tasting the high quality ingredients, it was worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience, the overall feel was very homey and comfy. There was even a person performing a little jazz piece, which added a better ambience. The food was amazing— I enjoyed every piece of the dish. Everyone inside was doing their own thing, and it seemed like this place is a well-made cafe. I enjoyed my time here, and the workers were all very friendly when I walked in.
