I needed a healthy and productive Saturday so I headed down to Chong Nonsi with my laptop to find Not Just Another Cup cafe. I was delighted by the open, modern, and sunshine-filled space and settled in to a table by the window.
I had come with a dish in mind after reading in BK Mag about their Scarlet Toast (cottage cheese with lemon zest spread on dark rye bread, topped with strawberries, raspberries, cherries, wild honey and pistachio, THB 280). It was every bit as delightful as it sounded and absolutely worth the special visit. I savored every bite.
To my delight, they even had fruit-infused water! I settled in with my “Beautiful Mind” (240 THB) pitcher infused with strawberry & lemon and spent a lovely afternoon working away. I was enjoying it so much that when I finally got hungry again I decided to give one of their salads a go. A super fresh Italian Salad (260 THB) brought to my table in a jar filled with crisp greens and marinated, grilled Italian vegetables. Healthy, yet incredibly tasty.
I continued to enjoy the day there and kept myself fueled and hydrated with a Cold Brew Coffee (150 THB), a Rose Boudoir tea (150 THB), a Iced Sea Salt Caramel Latte (135 THB) and another pitcher of cucumber, mint, & lemon infused water called the “Morning Glory” (240 THB). Finally, I invited a friend to join and she ordered the Mango & Quinoa Salad (260 THB), a delightful vegan-friendly quinoa salad with generous portions of avocado and mango – an unusual and delightful combination. Before I knew it, I realized I had spent the ENTIRE day at this wonderful cafe and had loved every minute!
