"The sea salt oat matcha 🍵 tastes exactly like the matcha KitKat, it is really good! Loved the decoration and atmosphere of this caffe, would definitely come back!
The only thing to consider is that as many places in Luang Prabang, payment is with cash only."

"Very popular cafe, really lovely decor and styling.
Coffee was too dark (even the medium roast) for my taste. Tiramisu was ok.
Lots of girls doing photoshoots inside and a great vibe"
Su Su
"Coffee is great as it suits my inquiry, the Arabica beans with oat milk and many more from signature menu I had with oat milk. Moreover every staff super friendly
Just one thing makes cafe weir is many local people come sit with play YouTube or TikTok quite loud like they own this world so I have my earphone to avoid this."

Formula B is relatively new on the Luang Prabang coffee scene. The aesthetic interior and funky details will draw you in, but it’s its main street location and air-conditioning that seems to really keep remote workers coming back for more. The staff here is super friendly, but seating is quite limited, so come early to avoid having your seat snatched by the hipster crowd.
The Best Coffee in Luang Prabang
We nearly walked straight past this hidden gem on Luang Prabang’s main street. Set in the heart of the Old Quarter in a colonial style building, you have to climb a set of stairs at the back of a craft shop to reach the Formula B Cafe. Perhaps the best looking coffee shop on this list, Formula B would look right at home in the heart of New York, London or Paris.
