This is no doubt the best chocolate cake I've ever tasted in Thailand so far!!! The chocolate sponge cake is soft and light and moist, the ganache is silky smooth and rich and satisfying, with a little bit of salty note to cut through the sweetness and richness of the cake. Just perfect! Also friendly service and cozy environment as well. Would recommend it to everyone.

Очень крутое и необычное место на берегу. Я был удивлен. Кофе здесь очень хорош! Подача интересная. В кафе очень милый интерьер. Люди, которые здесь работают, внимательные и вежливые. А счет приносят в настоящей шляпе.

What can I say?! I absolutely loved this cafe. Everything was perfect — the view, the vibe, the service, and the food. I came here 2 days straight and stayed for hours on end.
The staff was very friendly and checked on me. They gave me free snacks a couple of times too. Being right on the beach, this cafe is a must if you want to relax in an artsy place with good music and good atmosphere. The menu is big — thai, italian, and fast food are available.
They had a great live band performance on Christmas! Definitely made my night.

I came into this place a few times on my stay in Samui, very nice breakfast but an even better spot to have a drink by the water. Staff are super friendly and it’s just a quirky/cosy bar. One of the few that seem to have music playing whilst your sat enjoying a drink.

**Lay Lagom: A Genuine 5-Star Experience**
Lay Lagom nails the basics and then some. Perfectly situated, you get great views, comfy seating, and a relaxed atmosphere. The background music is just right - setting the tone for a chill day or evening out.
The team? Always welcoming and ready to help. They've mastered the balance of good service with enough English for smooth conversations. Their happiness is palpable, and it makes a difference to the overall vibe.
Now, about the food. Delicious is a fair start, the skill is there they just need a little tweaking. Most things they have nailed, fruit and yogurt with a scary good honey and granola topped, black pepper pork and rice delish, best ice cap around so far, ham and cheese omelette delicious, Panag curry awesome, but the burger was a miss (the fries were solid) their burgers ratios of bread to meet was off by 25% (too much bun which seems to be an issue here and most countries trying to please the tourists) their spicy burger sauce needs refinement, and their on the burger fixings like lettuces , cheese, tomato and onion ratio is too low. I give the burger 3* but that doesn’t change my 5* rating. They’ve hit the sweet spot with portion sizes, presentation, and fair pricing. And that’s not a small feat, especially when surrounded by the culinary richness of Koh Samui.
What sets Lay Lagom apart? It’s their essence. In an island where the community spirit of the local Thai blends seamlessly with the resilience of the Burmese, and where expats and tourists add their own flavor, Lay Lagom has become a microcosm of this harmony. They welcome everyone, and it feels like home.
Is it perfect? That's subjective. But if you value good food, an inviting atmosphere, and a place where every staff member is genuinely happy to see you, then Lay Lagom is a spot you shouldn’t miss. If you’re in the area, drop by. Experience the vibe for yourself. You won’t regret it. Oh, and the coconut cake is the best I’ve ever had!

Wonderful food on the beach! The staff were very kind and friendly, and it is a very beautiful setting in the evening looking out over the ocean towards the sunset.

The whole Samui island is a fantastic place, but Lay Lagom is something I will remember till the end of my life. Food, drinks and personnel bring you right to heaven and you feel like you are the most wanted guest there. We were invited to the live music show and it was definitely better than all the rock stars concerts. The atmosphere is so warm and cozy that melts your heart and makes you fall in love with every person you meet there. Thank you, Lay Lagom, we will definitely see you again!

A nice place to have a very relaxed breakfast.
Good vibes, great view and a bit of a surcharge for this so the bill will be above average, but it is ok.

A very nice setting for a relaxing lunch or dinner. Great sea view on the beach and a nice quirky stylish interior to the restaurant.
We had lab moo tord (deep fried lab pork) which was excellent and massaman chicken curry & calamari / onions rings which were ok. Not the best Thai food in Samui, but absolutely fine. A bit farang taste. The coffee was very good.
Service very good.
