Frequently asked questions
Does the cafe accept card or only cash?

What hours is Mountain View Coffee open?
Opening hours are listed as 07:30-18:00. Hours can vary on Thai public holidays and during the low season so confirm by phone if making a special trip.
Does the cafe have reliable WiFi for working?
