103 Bed and Brews

Top pick: Som jeed cold brew tonic
This polished Soi Nana newcomer comes packed with vintage Chinese charm. Colorful abstract paintings line the walls while the coffee list goes beyond espresso to creative cold brew options like one spiked with som-jeed orange syrup (kumquat) and tonic water (B100). Refreshing!

Chata

Top Pick: Colapresso
This gorgeous glasshouse extension to Yaowarat’s colonial-style Baan2459 hotel is swathed in natural light. Beans come from all over—try the house-blend (Thai, Indonesian, Ethiopian and Brazilian) dressed up with lime and bubbly cola in the Colapresso (B140).

Size S

Top Pick: Latte Float
Sathorn’s teeny-tiny cafe has upsized to Sukhumvit, where it offers a larger savory menu. You can expect the same awesome house-roasted coffee in concoctions like Latte Float (B110), a light-medium roast espresso shot served over their own vanilla ice cream. If you’re lucky you can also try filtered coffee (start at B85) by Tejit Sintawichai, recent winner of the Thailand AeroPress Championship 2017.

The Coffee Roaster by Li-bra-ry

Top Pick: Espresso Tonic
Li-bra-ry’s sixth outlet sits under the roof of Warehouse 30, Charoenkrung’s buzzing new art and design complex. Espresso made from Ceresia’s Thai-Brazil roast is put to great use in the Espresso Tonic (B150) that comes with crisp, citrus notes.

Yelo House

Top Pick: Aussie-style Iced Coffee
The Hands and Heart team man the Thirsty You beverage counter at this new co-working space next to Sansaeb Canal. Do try their Doi Saked and Mae Khachan blend from Chiang Mai, which results in an oh-so-smooth latte when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (B140)
