Cinnamon Coffee Kanchanaburi Review
What is Cinnamon Coffee?
As you step onto River Kwai Road in Mueang Kanchanaburi, Cinnamon Coffee may not immediately catch your eye — but once you wander into the space, you’ll quickly see why locals and travellers alike rave about it. This isn’t a cookie-cutter coffee shop; it’s a café with character — part peaceful brunch spot, part organic mini-farm, and wholly inviting.
While many cafés in Thailand stick to Instagram-friendly interiors and basic brunch menus, Cinnamon Coffee feels authentic — like a place the owners genuinely love: from the organic greens they grow out back to the way they plate edible flowers on brunch dishes.
Location
Located at เลขที่332 River Kwai Rd in central Kanchanaburi, Cinnamon Coffee is an easy walk from major hotels and the Bridge over the River Kwai; one of the best things to do in Kanchanaburi. This makes it a perfect stop after sightseeing or before you embark on exploring the area.
Ambience
The moment you step inside, the interior feels airy and calm with bright, clean whites contrast with natural wood tones and large windows that let in plenty of sunlight. The staff greet guests with sincerity and a relaxed attitude, which instantly sets the tone for a slower pace.
There’s a cozy balance between indoor, air-conditioned seating and shaded outdoor areas where you can hear birds chirping and rustling leaves.
It doesn’t feel like a rushed tourist stop — it feels like a place where you’re encouraged to sit, sip, and soak up the moment.
The Menu
One of the things that surprises visitors again and again is just how diverse the menu is. Cinnamon Coffee isn’t purely a coffee spot — it’s a west-meets-east café hub with offerings that run from hearty breakfasts to creative desserts.
Let’s talk about the coffee first — because that’s arguably why you’re here. The espresso-based drinks are smooth and consistent, with enough flavor to make any coffee lover smile. Cold brews and Iced Lattes are refreshing — perfect after exploring Kanchanaburi’s warm temperatures. There’s a good range of options if you like your coffee tailored — from black drip to milk-based drinks.
It’s not bean-snob level artisanal coffee, but it’s very enjoyable and well above average for the area, especially when paired with something sweet from the bakery section.
Breakfast sets with eggs, bacon, toast, and fresh veggies are cooked with refreshing simplicity; not fussy, but wonderfully satisfying. Portions are generous and there are plenty of lighter options like pastries, pancakes and French toast.
If you are looking for more lunch options; we enjoyed the vegetable melt and the salmon salad; both are fantastic.
This café doesn’t shy away from presentation either. Many dishes arrive decorated with edible flowers from the organic garden behind the café — which isn’t just for show; the freshness shines through in every bite.
We loved the smoothies; they were fruity, sweet and presented gorgeously.
The Garden & Mini Farm
Right behind the café is a small organic garden certified under PGS and ICAP standards, where herbs, greens, and edible flowers are grown for daily use. The owners also raise free-range chickens and rabbits, making it a charming little escape if you’re craving nature away from busy streets.
While it’s not a full zoo, the presence of these animals — and the relaxing green space — gives the café a laid-back countryside vibe that’s rare in urban Thai coffee shops.
The Service
Another thing that surprised me was how welcoming and communicative the team at Cinnamon Coffee was — especially for travellers who don’t speak Thai. Although the language barrier can be a challenge in Kanchanaburi compared to the larger cities, the staff still tried their hardest to help and assist us.

This is a great spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch in Kanchanburi, offering both local and western dishes. It is comfortable, good value for money and a place we will continue to return to. Beyond the city, you can also head to some unique hotels in Thailand that can be found nearby; we loved our stay at The Jungle Raft Floating Hotel!
