“If you love Japanese-style minimalist cafés with a warm atmosphere, Before Café Lampang is a must-visit — the coffee is excellent, well-balanced, with the authentic aroma of real coffee, never sharp or overly sweet.”
est. 2019 — a quiet corner
A slow morning, before the rest of the day.
Begin again.
One good cup, before everything else.
Mornings here move slowly — on purpose.
our intention
Before the world wakes.
A small room in Lampang.
One pair of hands, one cup at a time,
and no clock that matters.
here is your space
before the day begins,
before the hustle,
before the world starts spinning faster.
Whatever the day holds —
it can begin here, slowly.

“A minimalist little café with a warm vibe, decorated in a totally Korean white tone. Reasonably priced drinks, cute donuts for dessert, and a gorgeous photo spot out front. Highly recommend!”
★★★★★
“Before Café got a makeover — super minimalist (a legendary spot). The tea and coffee are still amazing as always. A small Korean-style café with unique, adorable coffee cups.”
★★★★★
“Hands down my favourite café. The coffee is so good — the latte is silky and incredibly easy to drink. I'm personally in love with the shio-pan here: baked exactly right, crisp outside, soft inside, a clear buttery aroma with a touch of salt — perfectly balanced. The space feels homey, warm and so relaxing, and the owner is lovely and really attentive. If you're after a good café to unwind in, I highly recommend this one — you won't be disappointed.”
★★★★★
“Lovely atmosphere, and photos come out beautifully. The latte is delicious and the owner is kind and polite. Parking can be tricky, but you can park at Wat Muang Saad.”
★★★★★
“Coming back to review after the fact — both dine-in and delivery. Dine-in: a cosy little shop, you can park at the temple, the atmosphere has a really nice feel and everyone's friendly; the owner is warm and easy-going. I usually just have the coffee and it's right up my alley. Delivery: the owner is thoughtful and themes things around festivals — at New Year I got a scented candle they made themselves (smells wonderful), and last week the order even came with a face mask in the bag because of all the dust lately. Great overall.”
★★★★★
“The latte is wonderfully rich and smooth. Parking is a little hard — you park on the street and walk over.”
★★★★★
“So good — a hidden gem, and the flavour is on point.”
★★★★★
“Great coffee — if you're looking for a medium-roast café, highly recommend!”
★★★★★
“Good and affordable really do exist here. Carefully selected beans, thoughtfully blended and finished, served with care. My medium-roast latte was soft and silky — like floating on a cloud. Maybe not for fans of strong coffee, but perfect for those who like it smooth and easy to drink. Just 60 baht, and I'll definitely be back for more.”
★★★★★
“The café is calm, with cute, understated décor and quiet jazzy music — a perfect spot to settle in. The Thai tea is very good (plus free water), with an oat-milk option.”
★★★★★
“A tiny one-unit coffee shop, about 16 seats. The owner runs it solo — takes your order, rings you up, brews, clears and washes the glasses, all alone (pretty gutsy, haha). Bright, clean and easy on the eyes, comfy and warm, and the owner is friendly and fun to chat with. There's bread too, though I arrived too late and it had sold out. Every drink tastes great — rich but balanced, every proportion just right; truly carefully made. A friend's iced cappuccino had a beautiful creamy colour — one sip and they grinned, ‘Mmm… nice.’ Another's iced cocoa got wide eyes: ‘Whoa… so good!’ My hot latte was a delight even before tasting — gorgeous cup — and at the perfect temperature, smooth, the coffee just right, the milk mellow. The cup is easy to hold, doesn't get hot, and is lovely; I really love their style. They even design and wear their own staff shirts. Incredibly fair prices: drinks 60–70 baht, quality to the brim; 5 baht off if you bring your own cup. Park at Wat Muang Saad across the way (drop 10 baht for the temple). A little shop whose taste and quality are anything but little. Highly recommended :)”
