Atmosphere follows close behind on the room's genuinely stylish design. Solo-Friendliness and Staying Power both give ground for the same reason, seating is limited and this is not built for a laptop session, it is built for a fast, excellent cup. Value holds up reasonably given the quality on offer. - Coffee / Drink Quality: 9.6/10 - Atmosphere: 8.8/10 - Solo-Friendliness: 7.6/10 - Value: 8.3/10 - Staying Power: 8.2/10 - Overall: 8.5/10 Perfect for: espresso pilgrimage ## The Space Roots occupies the Market Floor of theCOMMONS in Thong Lo, a genuinely stylish, well-designed stand with a handful of seats rather than a proper room. It reads as built for a quick, excellent stop, not a long one. ## The Coffee The Hot White and an orange tonic both came out well-extracted, and the cold brew held the same precision. Every espresso-based drink tried here scored highly, with nothing weak in the lineup. > This is an espresso pilgrimage, not a place to sit and work. ## The Vibe Staff are attentive and genuinely coffee-knowledgeable, happy to talk through the drink list without rushing the conversation. It just is not a space built for lingering. ## The Verdict This is an espresso pilgrimage stop, not a solo work session. Order confidently from the wide drink list, drink it standing or at one of the few seats, and move on. ### Practical information - Address: Market Floor, theCOMMONS, 17 Thong Lo, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand - Price: ฿฿ - Type: coffee stand [Website](https://rootsbkk.com) [@rootsbkk](https://instagram.com/rootsbkk) ## More in Thong Lo - [ROAST coffee & eatery](https://thesteep.app/cities/bangkok/roast-coffee-eatery-thonglor) Steep Pick Thong Lo · Steep Index 8.5/10 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. ## More in Bangkok - [Above Eleven Rooftop Bar & Restaurant](https://thesteep.app/cities/bangkok/above-eleven-rooftop-bangkok) Steep Pick Sukhumvit Soi 11, Khlong Toei Nuea · Steep Index 8.6/10 Above Eleven has held its place as Bangkok's original Peruvian rooftop since 2012, and between the skyline view and a watermelon mint pisco sour built by a bartender who clearly loves the craft, it earns a Steep Pick without much argument. - [Roots at Ari](https://thesteep.app/cities/bangkok/roots-at-ari) Steep Pick Ari, Phaya Thai · Steep Index 8.6/10 Roots at Ari is the kind of hidden gem that rewards knowing exactly where to look, a quaint, cozy room on Phahon Yothin 7 where the cold brew and the coffee protein drink both earn the trip. - [Porcupine Cafe](https://thesteep.app/cities/bangkok/porcupine-cafe) Steep Pick Ari, Phaya Thai · Steep Index 8.5/10 Porcupine Cafe is the antler-hung, decade-old institution that still feels like Ari's best-kept secret, even though everyone already knows about it. - [Fika & Co.
