TENG COFFEE

Teng Coffee is a tiny local café in Ban Pong, Hang Dong, run by a warm owner called Teng, and it's a handy stop on the way into the hills. Everything is made to order, so there's a short wait, but reviewers love the cappuccino, cacao and Thai tea latte, and the chicken sandwich with avocado salad comes in big portions at low prices. Seating is limited and the outdoor tables can get warm. It opens early and closes mid-afternoon, so make it a breakfast or brunch stop.
