Le Locust Café
Description
Le Locust sits out among the rice fields, which means you’re not just drinking coffee – you’re watching actual farming happen while you do it. The kind of place where you order one drink and end up staying two hours because there’s no reason to leave.
The menu earns its keep: the salted iced coffee and banana bread come up again and again for good reason, and they’ll adjust recipes for dietary needs without making it a whole thing. The black sesame smoothie is worth the experiment if you’ve never tried one.
Getting here by bicycle is the obvious move (most people do exactly that, rolling in from town through the paddies). Factor in enough time to catch the afternoon light over the fields – the later you arrive, the better it gets.
