I know, I'm a pain in the a** sometimes.. I was desperately looking for a hot coffee, a product that is becoming extinct in this city, and I found this place. Finally I can have a coffee the way I like it: hot and in a real cup instead of paper or plastic, but it wasn't that easy... 😊 So, my wife asked for a "Latte", which means a cup of hot milk with coffee, and I asked for something very difficult: a filter coffee with a drop of milk in a ceramic cup. And here the weird stuff begins! The nice lady at the cashier tells me they don't have milk.. how is it possible to not have milk and serve "Latte"? 😁 OK, no problem, I'll take a drop of milk from my wife's "Latte". Finally after a long wait (I've run a coffee shop for many years and this is an exaggerated wait) my coffee arrives in a nice ceramic jug. But I had asked for a cup... I wanted a cup because, having a large nose, I find it very uncomfortable to drink from a small jug. So I go to the counter, in front of the espresso machine that was full of ceramic cups, and I politely ask for a cup for my coffee. Both the cashier and the coffee shop attendant looked at me perplexed as if I had asked for a flying nuclear pig, but I only wanted a cup for my coffee. 🤣🤣 It is common parlance to say "cup of coffee", not jug or glass, cup... In the end I did it! It was not easy but I finally had my coffee. However, I do not find the price of the coffee adequate with the service provided. I understand that a quality coffee (nothing exceptional anyway) is more expensive, but the high price should be accompanied by an adequate service that may include, for example, a place to put the cup 😁, but also a small jug of milk, one of hot water, some sugar, a napkin, maybe a small biscuit. In this place you have the same service as a street cart but with the price of a luxury bistro. Unfortunately I must also admit that I have found (not in Bangkok) some excellent street coffees, served without a table sitting on a crate on the sidewalk like here,...
Read moreUnnervingly cool café in Songwat. Rough, graffiti brutalist look; while having a warm and inviting vibe from the music, human touches of decor, and the friendly and welcoming service staff. It’s abundantly clear that they take their coffee seriously, as was apparent in the quality of the espresso they recommended for me. I came on a stupefyingly busy weekend, where both the street outside and the café inside were bursting at the seams with people; despite that, I found a little seating area inside and enjoyed my coffee while watching the cacophony of brewing and people coming in and out. It’s definitely a great coffee spot for specialty arabica junkies and normies alike. I’ll for sure come back when I eventually find myself in...
Read moreAn amazing shop with crowded space during the weekend. The coffee, although was pricey, worth every baht. I might be a little bit biased but they really served higher quality specialty coffee compared to other shops in the area which served rather simple yet expensive coffee. You can find some top of the shelf specialty coffee here which might not be available anywhere on earth because the owner (Khun Park) bid all of that lot. Still, the shop would definitely benefit from larger space and less hassle interior design. I almost knock someone coffee because there is no clear line distinguish between bar space and customer space (this seemed to be intentional). Love...
