Bangkok's espresso pilgrimage, six roasteries deep

Six roasteries tagged espresso-pilgrimage for a reason. Bangkok didn't wait for the rest of Asia to take specialty coffee seriously — it just built the scene faster.

7 matches.

  • Roots at theCOMMONS
    Thong Lo · Bangkok · Steep Index 9.6/10

    A stylish coffee stand on theCOMMONS' Market Floor in Thong Lo, with well-extracted espresso across the board and just enough seats to prove it is not trying to be a cafe you stay in.

  • Fika & Co. Cafe Steep Pick
    Huai Khwang · Bangkok · Steep Index 9.3/10

    Tucked into Singha Complex in Huai Khwang, Fika & Co. is one of those places that earns its reputation every single service. The Basque cheesecake alone is worth the trip across the city.

  • SCR - Song Wat Coffee Roasters
    Song Wat, Chakkrawat · Bangkok · Steep Index 9.0/10

    SCR sits inside a beautifully preserved old shophouse on Song Wat Road, the heart of what might be Bangkok's most interesting cafe district right now, heritage shophouses and converted warehouses, none of the Sukhumvit polish. The coffee backs up the setting. The bathroom situation does not.

  • PAGA Microroastery
    Sukhumvit 31, Watthana · Bangkok · Steep Index 9.0/10

    A minimalist Bangkok microroastery where precision comes before warmth, and the single-origin espresso tonic makes that a worthwhile trade-off.

  • RISE COFFEE - Flagship Store Steep Pick
    Ploenchit, Lumphini · Bangkok · Steep Index 8.9/10

    Tucked at the back of Mahatun Plaza on a quiet stretch off Ploenchit, RISE runs a laboratory-clean micro-roastery where the orange cold brew alone is worth tracking the place down for.

  • Roots at Ari Steep Pick
    Ari, Phaya Thai · Bangkok · Steep Index 8.9/10

    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.

  • La Cabra Bangkok Steep Pick
    Song Wat, Samphanthawong · Bangkok · Steep Index 8.8/10

    La Cabra brings Aarhus, Denmark's brightest-roast philosophy to a quiet corner of Talat Noi, and the cortado proves the Scandinavian precision travels well. The furthest-flung of the Song Wat cluster, and worth the extra few minutes.
