D'ark at Emquartier serves the best coffee in Bangkok.

Since we have moved upscale now, also try 6th floor at Central Embassy. There are 3-4 nice coffee shops there + Paul on the 2nd floor.

impossible to make a statement like that.  best coffee is very subjective.  your superlative all knowing conclusion does not even contain a body to describe / elaborate why.

Pacamara is truly great coffee. They have 2 shops in Chiang Mai and 3 in Bangkok. 2 of the Bangkok shops are mentioned above and the last is at Chula Hospital, open 24/7. The Chula shop is cheaper than the other 2 and always have some nice female nurse/student/doctor eye-candy to watch.

in addition be cautious at emquartier since the rents are high and lots of places trying to be more pretentious than the other but the taste and service can be lacking though prices sky high.

 

i did have a very nice tanzania bean espresso at the emquartier food court beverage concession and the price was very reasonable.

Just wanted to spark some debate....of course its a subjective comment.

 

Seems to have worked!

 

You can usually find me in Central Rama 9 enjoying the finest 50 Baht coffee in Bangkok.....I will let you all guess where!

Busted....and its worth every baht!

Dean and Deluca by Phrom Pong is decent too but a bit pricey.

[atyclb]

if you need an espresso or capuchino and nothing special is around better to get one at a 7 / 11 that has a coffee bar. the price is right and once you add milk and sugar or flavor the underlying bean taste is camouflaged.

Dean & Deluca is coffee to perfection. You can nurse their large cappuccino for about an hour and the foam still haven't collapsed. Try their flagship shop at the Cube at Mahanakorn if you also want a bite to eat. It is especially nice in December with all the Christmas decorations.

With their membership card, you get one free coffee for every 5 you buy.

I find ordering a small cafe Americano and pouring a single shot of espresso into it is a good way to get a decent cup of coffee when I'm not at home.

don't mean no disrespect but that's like pouring a measure of malt whisky into a half of lager...

Try On Nineteen coffee shop.     It is located on Sukhumvit soi 19    about 30 M before the Honey Hotel.     Excellent coffee and a good selection of cakes/snacks.

That would be a boilermaker quite common where I'm from but may I inquire if you have ever tried pouring espresso into a cafe Americano?  Remember I said it is a way to get poor coffee to taste OK.

Try a new coffee shop ''Sleep Industry Bed&Coffee'' a little further from Nana/Asoke towards Thonglor near the Dasa bookshop.

 

Had a decent cup of coffee there and they have a good cheesecake topped with blueberries, strawberry and cream.

[S0S]

Doi Chang Cafe & Restaurant about 75m into Sukhumvit 12 (100m towards Nana from Asoke BTS). In my opinion, good coffee (An espresso/Americano is about B60) (as well as reasonably priced breakfasts and tasty meals).

 

[bkk6060]

Some of the recommendations here are for instant coffee places.

 

There is a newer place on Soi 4 (Nana) near the cut off to Soi 6 called Arbarita.  Good fresh brew they open at 6am.

 

The best bang for the buck is actually 7-11.  Fresh grind brew for cheap.

[lamyai3]

Bitter brown, soi 21

[pennine]

Nice Korean coffee shop between Nana and Asoke but can't remember the name.

[localhost]

Try the coffee shop at Sofitel Sukhumvit entrance. Best coffee in this area. Enjoy.

[mike888]

The sofitel coffeeshop is good, Victory cafe is also good and make great acai bowls too.

RADI grab & go, at Ploenchit BTS. It is a Chiang Mai coffee shop/farm and they roast their own Arabic coffee. 50 baht before 9 am.

I go there 2-3 times a week at 8 am.

 

There is another very good CM coffee shop in Bangkok, but it it outside the area you are looking for.

 

 

Anyone had a chance to try RADI?

 

I really enjoy their coffee, but of course it also my first cup of the day. I will like a second opinion.

I thought it was very sour tasting.  If you like that, then go.
