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.

From its humble beginnings as a small café in Phayathai, Nana Coffee Roaster has grown into one of the capital's most beloved and formidable brands for exquisite coffee. This empire is helmed by a team of award-winning baristas, including Kasama “Natt” Kunboon, the first Thai to win the World Siphonist Championship in Tokyo in 2018. He is joined by founder Warong “Koong” Chalanuchpong, a highly acclaimed coffee roaster and expert who is widely credited with pushing Thailand's specialty coffee scene forward.

After first gaining recognition as an importer of international coffee beans and brewing equipment, Pacamara has successfully branched out, becoming a local chain with over 15 locations in Bangkok. With this deep-rooted expertise and years of experience in the coffee scene, the brand is guaranteed to serve a high-quality brew that will more than satisfy your caffeine craving.

A mainstay in the Phutthamonthon area, Roast Runner has a major claim to fame: the Thailand National Cup Tasters Championship under its belt. This prestigious title warrants the quality of every cup, as each is brewed with beans expertly roasted right in their own factory.

The name Ministry of Roaster is a bold one, but it's a title they’ve certainly earned. Beyond their excellent espresso and slow bars, the brand truly embraces its name by offering a comprehensive curriculum of workshops for enthusiasts looking to master the art of coffee.

Bottomless Coffee Roasters has officially moved its flagship store from Nonthaburi into the heart of Bangkok, now located on Soi Sukhumvit 33. Here, coffee lovers can still savor a hot or cold cup made from premium, locally sourced beans, complemented by an array of delectable pastries and satisfying brunch dishes.

Brave Roasters is all about serious coffee business. The brand is dedicated to collaborating with both local and international farmers, overseeing every step from bean cultivation to the final brew. This hands-on approach is exemplified by co-owner Ekameth "Tay" Wipvasutt, the aclaimed winner of both the 2023 Thailand and World Aeropress Championships, a title that speaks volumes about the brand's commitment to quality.

As a result of this expertise and success, the brand is now recognized as a fully realized roaster with a state-of-the-art facility: its new HQ factory at One Cool Avenue. This impressive space is a coffee lover's paradise, where aficionados can explore everything from an espresso bar and a slow bar to a bean shop and a merch store.
