Café Review: Sheep in the City - Lad Phrao

Café Review: Sheep in the City - Lad Phrao

"Sheep in the City is a small café near MRT Lad Phrao. They serve very nice food and coffee at very competitive price. The café have a nice environment suitable for working."


Coffee

Coffee here are quite good, especially for the price. At the time of writing, a glass of Ice Americano will run you 65 THB and it's about the side of a Grande. I enjoy the coffee here more than Starbucks and actually look forward to having a sip each time. It is nothing special compared to some coffee specialty shop like Red Diamond and such though.

Food and Snack

They also serve very tasty and well-priced food here. Expect to pay around ~129-189 THB for an enjoyable plate here. The food look hygenic and well prepared.

You can definitely have a proper meal here while continuing to work. In fact, I have already been ordering breakfast/lunch from this place way before I came in for the first time.

Services

The staffs are very friendly and overall service is good.

Working Here

The café is on the small side. It is separated into two floor with an open space in the middle of the second floor to give room to breath.

Tables

Most of the tables and chairs are at an okay height for working. Only a few of them are short coffee table that force you to crouch down. With that said, there aren't many seats available here. On the first floor, there are two double-tables (can fit 4-6 people) suitable for working. On the second floor, there are three single-tables, one double-table, a long desk that can probably fit 8-10 people, and a long couter that can fit around 6-8 people. Around 3-4 shorter tables good for chilling out but not very good for working are also available.

Lighting

Lighting is on the darker side but most table have sufficient light for working.

Noise Level

The café have some music playing in the background but it is not too loud. Since the café is next to a main road, you can also here cars driving by but they are soft enough that it likely won't be annoying to you.

This café is also very popular among food delivery services (Grab Food, Line Man, etc.) so you will here them coming and going quite often. If you are easily distracted, sitting on the second floor with a good headphone is recommended.

Overall, the noise level is totally acceptable for work to me. Nevertheless, having a conference call here is probably not a good idea due to the background music.

Power Outlets

There are abundant power outlets available if you sit wall-facing couter style seats. These seems to be designed specifically for working.

Other than that, there are no outlets around any of the tables. That said, some tables are not too far from the wall so your laptop's charger can probably still reach the outlets. You just need to be careful about people tripping on them (oh how I miss MagSafe).

Parking

I never come here by car. The shop itself doesn't seem to have a parking space. If you really want to, you can park at the MRT and walk here.
