ViVi The Coffee Place — Restaurant in Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Subdistrict

You know those rare moments when time just… slows down? That’s exactly what happened when I sat down at Vivi The Coffee Place by the Chao Phraya River. The Bangkok heat was still hanging in the air, but my iced latte (sweating as much as I was) kept me cool. From my seat, I had the perfect view , boats drifting by, leaving trails across the shimmering river as the sun started to set. And then, right across the water, Wat Arun began to light up like magic. The white spires slowly blushed in soft pinks and golds, almost as if the temple itself was glowing from within. Honestly, I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

The vibe was so peaceful. Just the sound of water, the occasional boat horn, and the gentle breeze mixing with the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I found myself sitting there for a long time, no plans, no rush … just me, my latte, and the golden hour that felt like it would never end. If you ever find yourself in Bangkok, make time for Vivi. Come for the coffee, stay...

Highly recommend for the view + ambiance.

I visited ViVi The Coffee Place during a bright morning and absolutely loved the experience. The café is located right by the Chao Phraya River with a direct view of the Wat Arun across the water — it’s a stunning backdrop for a coffee break. I grabbed an iced caramel macchiato and the popular blueberry cheescake. I chose the river-facing balcony and felt instantly relaxed by the gentle breeze. The view and the hum of the riverboats made it feel like Bangkok’s version of paradise.

Service was welcoming and the atmosphere laid-back perfect for respite after touring nearby temples. My only minor note: the space is a bit limited, so if you want the best view seats, arriving earlier is wise. ViVi might just be the kind of place where coffee tastes better simply because life slows down long enough for you...

ViVi Coffee Place in Bangkok offers a picturesque view of Wat Arun that’s hard to beat. The sight of the temple while enjoying a cup of their well-prepared coffee is undeniably beautiful. However, the café's charm is somewhat marred by its very limited space. The seating area is quite cramped, which can make the experience feel a bit rushed and uncomfortable, especially during peak hours. The close quarters might make it challenging to find a comfortable spot or to enjoy a leisurely visit. Despite the friendly service and quality coffee, the small space can be a significant drawback for those looking to relax or spend a longer time at the café. If you’re willing to overlook this and simply want a quick coffee with a great view, it’s still worth...
