Saffron Coffee

With an open-air terrace overlooking the meandering Mekong River, Saffron is more than a simple coffee shop to the people of Luang Prabang—it is a profit-for-purpose company assisting smallholder farmers by re-investing profits. The cafeteria features 100% Arabica coffee beans along with scrumptious delights to go along.

Cafes

Laos is known in the world for its rich, strong, top-notch coffee: Robusta and Arabica grown at high altitudes, which distinguishes them from varieties elsewhere. With most of its coffee harvested in the Bolaven Plateau, it's Laos' 5th largest export product, with 20,000 tons produced annually. No trip to Luang Prabang would be complete without paying a visit to some of the coffee shops listed below.
