Excellent coffee prepared with a well rounded and balanced dark roast blend. I guess it is one of the best coffee shops in KK.
All the pastry is prepared by themselves. The scone is super fresh and really delicious.
Expresso is great.
Affogato they use a very nice crispy coconut ice cream. One of the best I had in Thailand.
There are over a thousand coffee shops in Khon Kaen, and Map Cafe is easily in the top 10. Several reasons why -
Good for studying - wide open floor plan keeps the noise level low. Variety of seating allows you to sit at a bar top, high stool, low comfy chair with a table, or standard hard back chair with a table.
Coffee Options - They Roast their own coffee (and sell it too) - they understand coffee. They have drip, pour-over, cold brew, aeropress, and they also sell all of the above in case you want to learn to make your own high-quality coffee at home.
The Snacks and Cakes - (Hint - the brownie is incredible), they have scones, cookies, cheesecake, fruit cake, all of which they make themselves. Amazing cheesecake as well.
Free extra shots of coffee! For those who need their mixed drinks strong, Map Cafe offers an extra shot of espresso added to your drink, for free upon request!
Great coffee - medium and dark roast, always two separate coffee grinders allow for variety that the vast majority of coffee shops just cant offer.
Amazing Coffee - their espresso machine is a high-end model here, very pricey, and when the Barista knows how to use it - you are getting a top quality espresso everytime.
Staff - They speak English, and are always very sweet, gentle, and helpful.
Special Notes - they have bicycle parking inside the store! I dont know any other shop in town with this convenience for bike riders.
For Non-Coffee drinks they offer Italian sodas and fruit smoothies as well.
I think the only complaint someone could have is the price of a coffee here is NOT 40 baht, but hey, you get what you pay for, and they serve a cup of coffee that easily matches the taste of (for example) Class Coffee, or Cafe De Forest, both of which are on the same level of Artisan Coffee, but even much more expensive.
Map Cafe is one of the best coffee shops in all of Khon Kaen.
Was in Khon Kaen last week came to this cafe shop to hang around 30mins killing time before going for a nice 2 hour massage. The ICE MOCHA was outstanding not to sweet bitter of a coffee love it as a huge Mocha Lover. Worth every penny for this ICE MOCHA. It was around 100฿. Inside was clean with wifi and clean wash room as well.

The coffee bean is roasted on site. At the time of purchase, it is ground and the manufacturing process is careful. I asked the barista for an option that wasn't on the menu and he was skilled in preparing it. I liked so much.

Specialty coffee. The place is well decorated. As an interior contractor, I found the place pay attention to details. All of the finishing are perfect!
