Had some spring rolls, rice/chicken dishes and some beers. Spring rolls were abit tasteless.

A guy came in asking to use the toilet. Staff said no and said it was only for customers. The guy seemed to really have to go to the toilet and said he would pay, but the staff refused. The man had to leave the cafe.

The cafe was almost empty, the staff should have helped a guy in need in my opinion..

Dear Guest,

Thank you very much for your compliment and review, we really appreciate it.

Since we are located opposite the old bus station, there are many people per day who want to use our facility. If we allow everyone to use our toilet, it will become dirty and un-sanitize as you can see in the public toilet. Besides, there are other public toilets in the bus station, that everyone can use freely. Therefore, due to the toilet cleanliness maintenance, this facility is for our guests only.

We will continue trying our best to make our guests satisfied with our food, drinks, and services in every aspect as we possibly can.

Your review and other reviews from all guests are very important part to keep us going and thrive for perfection.

Escaping the heat, we stopped for lunch at Connect Cafe. From the moment we stepped in until we left, everything seemed quite familiar and predictable even though it was our first visit. At times it can be quite comforting to arrive to an environment that doesn't provoke thought or needs extra effort to get an order placed and food delivered. And then for the food not to challenge your taste buds, but to just taste like you would have expected anyway. On the other hand, this may almost feel too comfortable to be part of an exciting travel adventure. Reliable? Sure! Unsurprising? A little...

I often go here when I want a bite to eat either before getting on a bus, or after getting off one. It is right next to the bus station.
The food is good and not too expensive. I can definitely recommend the green curry and the mango sticky rice.
They have good wifi, even to the point that when I am in the cafe a couple of shops down, my phone normally connects to this cafes more powerful wifi!
