About
On the quiet edge of Krabi Town, Smtha – Simply Cafe does exactly what the name promises: simple, calming, and very good. The small, minimalist room opens onto a leafy patio, so you can slip into the shade with a book while your drink is whisked up inside. It’s a 10‑minute ride from town, which is part of the appeal—come here when you want to slow down and hear the birds over the scooters.
Coffee is solid, but tea lovers hit the jackpot: expect a rotating selection of 20+ teas from around the world. The matcha is a local favorite, especially the coconut matcha that’s creamy, lightly sweet, and perfect for the Krabi heat. Pair it with a homemade bake if you see them in the case—think soft coconut chiffon or a classic cheesecake when they’re available.
It’s an easy daytime stop: minimal white-and-wood interiors, plants everywhere, and that mellow soundtrack of clinking cups and low conversation. Arrive late morning for a quiet hour before the afternoon trickle of cafe-hoppers. As of March 2026, they’re usually open daily 10am–5pm, but hours can shift in low season—check their socials if you’re heading over from the islands.
