ROAST coffee & eatery
Thong Lo · Bangkok · Steep Index 8.5/10 · Steep Pick
A full sit-down brunch eatery on theCOMMONS' rooftop Top Yard in Thong Lo, with an extensive breakfast and lunch menu and espresso shots pulled with real precision.
The Steep Index
Every axis holds up here, which is the actual case for the Steep Pick. Atmosphere and Solo-Friendliness both lead on a relaxed rooftop room that is genuinely easy to sit in alone. Coffee is good in its own right, well-pulled espresso and a refreshing cold brew, though the extensive brunch and lunch menu is the real draw. Value and Staying Power both follow close behind, nothing here undercuts the visit.

The Space
ROAST sits on theCOMMONS' rooftop Top Yard in Thong Lo, a full sit-down room with a genuinely nice ambiance. It is easy to come here alone and just sit for a while.
The Coffee
Espresso shots come out well-pulled and refreshing, and both the cold brew and the hot latte hold up well alongside the food. This is not a coffee-first stop, but nothing here is a letdown either.
An awesome brunch place that serves good, refreshing, well-pulled espresso shots.
The Vibe
Staff are friendly and attentive to what the table actually needs, not just going through the motions. Come with a real appetite, the breakfast and lunch menu, sandwiches included, is an extensive one.
The Verdict
The AVO & Salmon with eggs on toast is scrumptious and worth building a visit around on its own. This is a real Steep Pick: good coffee, better food, and a room that makes it easy to stay.
