What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners consistently praise Indigo Cafe for its delicious coffee, fresh pastries, and friendly service. The rooftop view overlooking the night market is a major highlight, offering a unique dining ambiance. While prices are noted as being on the higher side for Luang Prabang, the quality and portion sizes generally justify the cost.
"The place is very nice. Prices are quite high. Food is tasty. We had just few juices and pizza. And pizza is big which is good. Because I was afraid of a tiny overpriced one. But luckily this place is pretty good."

100% Lao Arabica coffee is served in the charming setting of Indigo Café.

We met up with some friends at a bar, the Indigo Cafe, which was very close to the food markets. It had a roof top area with bean bags and mats on the floor where we could relax with drinks. Plus the view of the markets all lit up was pretty cool too.
