RISE COFFEE - Thonglor — Restaurant in Khlong Tan Nuea Subdistrict

Rise Coffee is a gem in Thonglor, made even better by its convenient spot inside Marché Thonglor, right in front of the Tops supermarket. It’s the kind of location that works for quick stops and longer sits alike - easy to find, easy to love. I judge coffee by a simple test: do I feel the need to add a sweetener? At Rise, I don’t. Their espresso is balanced and clean, with a natural sweetness that makes milk drinks smooth and black coffee genuinely enjoyable on its own. No sugar, no syrups - just excellent coffee done right.

The brand itself feels cool without trying too hard - modern, tidy, and confident. The staff match that energy: friendly, professional, and efficient, even during the morning rush. You’re greeted, served, and out the door quickly if you need to be, but never rushed if you want to linger.

Payment is painless with plenty of options - ideal for Bangkok life where sometimes you’ve only got your phone, sometimes a card, sometimes cash. If you’re peckish, there’s a good selection of pastries that actually complement the coffee rather than overpower it; think flaky, fresh, and not overly sweet.

What seals it for me is the outdoor seating. You get a clear view of Thonglor Road, perfect for people-watching and soaking up the area’s morning bustle. It’s bright, airy, and surprisingly calm given the location. All in, Rise Coffee delivers on quality, convenience, and atmosphere - a spot I’d happily return to for a no-fuss,...

Great spot for quality coffee and pastries

Ambiance: Modern, clean, and trendy design, creating a welcoming vibe.

Seating: Limited to one bench inside the air-conditioned shop. Outdoor tables are available but can be hot depending on the time of day.

Service: Friendly and attentive, meeting expectations for a pleasant experience.

Food & Drink: The pastry was a standout—flaky, warm, and served fresh from the oven. The Dirty coffee delivered a bold espresso kick, elevated by cereal flakes that added sweetness and crunch. Tip: Drink it quickly to enjoy the flakes before they soften.

Price: THB 270 for a coffee and pastry, slightly pricey but justified by the quality.

Would I...

Came in and thought this would be any run off the mill coffee chain. However I was particularly amazed by the selection of beans and the quality of the espressos! Had an iced americano and usually I won’t get much of the flavour notes in most cafes but this one hit the notes 💯 their pastries are also excellent and have not had such a well proportioned chocolate-to-pastry ratio in a pain au chocolat in a long time!

Will definitely recommend, especially for those with a selective tastebud for...
