Hēi Jīi — Restaurant in Si Phraya Subdistrict

If I were just rating the decor of this place I would be giving it five stars.

Upon arrival I was impressed with the exterior design. It’s very unique and reminds me of ancient China. Stepping inside, I was again impressed with the atmosphere. It’s a small place which is perfectly normal in this area but still felt comfortable.

The menus are cute little books with pictures and hand written descriptions, again reminding me of another time. The menu included all of the expected items one would find in a local cafe, but I felt the dessert selection was limited. I intended to order cake when I arrived but after looking through the menu, nothing appealed to me and I ended up ordering drinks only.

I had an iced black coffee, which was cold brewed. I prefer hot brewed coffee to get that acidic kick, but for those who like cold brew, they’ve got you covered. I also prefer coffee on the strong side, but this was brewed quite weak, in my opinion. At 105฿ it’s middle of the price range.

I also tried the matcha lemon tea, which had a nice sour kick to it. It was quite good and I can recommend you try it.

If you’re in the area, this is an Instagram worthy stop for something cold and refreshing during hot Thailand days.

P.S. the staff were also good.

Give this a 👍 if you’ve found this review helpful. Follow me for more reviews in Thailand and around the world.

Very Instagramable coffee shop! Tho the drinks aren’t really live up to its hype.

I’ve heard about this place for a while, and it’s in CharoenKrung, so we decided to give it a shot. Our first impression of this place is that its decor and interior design is really cute and stood out among the crowd, it is cozy and warm, very nice atmosphere indeed, staffs are quite friendly and very nice to us, so we were expecting some good experience

The Yin Yang coffee is their signature drink and it’s particularly nice! It’s a bit difficult to drink, since u might be a bit confused about the best way to enjoy this. However, honestly this is by far my most favorite from this coffeeshop, since all other drinks we had that day are just average and so-so.

We also ordered a few pastry to go with our drinks, all of them are just okay-average. Nothing really stand out. So it’s a tad bit let down for me since I expecting much more from the hype I’ve heard about.

However all the packaging and how the plate their dishes are super instagramable. And I have to mention the lighting!!!! They know what they’re doing with the lighting! All the photo we took are absolutely gorgeous under this lighting. So I guess people who enjoy cafe hopping and taking picture will indeed love this place. Sadly that’s just not...

A lovely cozy coffee shop with a Chinese touch. Both the exterior and interior decoration, furniture, lamps, or even in the bathroom that uses polished wood as the door latch is also in Chinese style.

☕ Yin-Yang coffee is very creative, and marvellous. A combination of black (chocolate) cold brew coffee and white caramel,

🍰An Earl-grey chiffon cake is very soft and tender, not too sweet.

There are many other menu to try. During weekdays the customer is not in full house, and there might because of the seats are limited in and out.
