Thailand's coffee shop scene is thriving, but a key question remains: can you name a high-quality specialty coffee brand that’s genuinely Thai?

When it first opened, Roots made a name for itself by introducing specialty coffee to Bangkok using beans sourced from international producers. However, that's no longer the case. This crowd-pleasing brand has since shifted its mission to championing single-origin coffee beans from local Thai farmers, collaborating with them to continuously elevate the quality of their produce. You can experience their dedication firsthand at any of their 11 locations, where a different featured barista gets to showcase a new creative drink each month.
