Bill97 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yeh let's end all the sandwiches, cupcakes and owner's nationality bs and get back to coffee. Who started all that anyway?Certainly not upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) The drip coffee at Butter is better diner is excellent value. Perfect strong taste . Only 45 baht . And you'll get a big cup! It's an American place , no British breakfasts available. But the coffee IS great ! Also their cakes. Highly recommended. www.butterisbetterbakery.com/ Edited February 2, 2017 by balo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseTheBass Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thanks to this thread the missus and I have expanded our coffee horizons and have recently tried Akha Ama in Santhitham Pacamara in the old town. Both were a bit toothless for both of us. My local (Doctor Gen on Sirimangkalajarn) is still the best I've had recently (followed not too far behind by SS1254372 Cafe) but it would be nice to find a place that actually does hot coffee...

dukeandduke Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Ristr8to works for me if I can get a seat at the location on Nimman. It gets packed. It must be in some tour books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like their new place on the back street vs the Nimman dark wood smoke belch frenetic shophouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freedomnow Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) There is a new coffee place (actually upgraded older coffee place) right behind Phrah Singh temple - 45-60 Baht, very good actually...on corner of 'after-school study street' that goes to west moat gate if that helps.... Another one probably buried in older threads is the coffee shop in Rimping near airport plaza. Great pro coffee... Going to try small place called Artisan Coffee right across from giant YMCA place in Santitham...there is another great coffee shop in that street...has a VW Beetle outside the designer boutique hotel/coffee shop....get to YMCA Santitham and you'd find both within 50 metres of YMCA.

JaseTheBass Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 We walked to D'codeS Coffee Lab Cafe & Roastery in CMUville last Saturday. Excellent coffee but the place was empty. Very good value and made walk worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flare Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Has anyone tried any of the coffee shops across from Ruamchoke Plaza?

balo Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) A new coffee shop has opened in Airport central plaza! And it's very good coffee as I found out today. It is located next to the entrance in front of the free shuttle bus service. Pangkhon coffee is the name and they sell their own brand of whole coffee beans., I ordered a hot latte and the espresso they used tasted very good . 65 baht for a small cup and 70 for a big cup, not sure why they would offer a small cup for only 5 baht less. So not the cheapest coffee but the location is perfect and very comfy chairs and air-con inside. So check them out next time you're in the area.

balo Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ok I have to mention this new coffee place Roastniyom Coffee, located in Sridonchai Rd, around 400 meters from the moat. Big air-conditioned place with nice chairs , and now here comes the best part, the coffee. It's perfect , I asked for a flat white and you'll get 2 shots of espresso , gives you a strong but perfect taste . For 60 baht I will rate this coffee on the top of the scale. If you happen to be in the area check them out. They offer plenty of different drinks and cakes as well. Very popular place already , it's full of customers. My new favourite place for sure. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I recently found my personal best coffee in CM after 5 years.....only 40 baht and fullest body coffee I've had yet. In MAYA in front of RIMPING at side exit...also it is ORGANIC coffee to boot so no nasty banned chemicals saturated into the beans...I'd say on a good cup it even kicks ristr8tto in the ****s.

freedomnow Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 .....and 2 of the 3 baristas outside Hillkoff Chang Puak can make a killer latte. The best full body/non-sour bean is called the City Mocha bean for latte. The only element at Hillkoff front entrance is the coffee is very inconsistent based on barista/bean of the day sliding from an 'OH WOW ! 10/10' to 'MEEEEEH 7/10' taste.

Thailand Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I can tell you where not to go! Went to Coffee Smith Star Av 5 on the Hangdong road this morning. Overpriced, Cappuccino way too strong and barely warm. Whole place smelled of mold and the tables were dirty, apart that it was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of duff cappuccinos out there. There should be a word for it. That feeling you get after the first sip of a terrible cappuccino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did stop by there a while ago,way too expensive ,no ambience or architectural plusses,walked out and went to our close by favourite Coffee de Candle. Sitting under the canopy of shade trees next to the pond with misters and well priced food and yes they do sell candles produced from their own factory next door Edited April 16, 2017 by Sparkles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobin Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Wow! Considering the incredible number of defamatory comments lister on this thread, i find it very odd that the mods (the incredible mods!) have not closed it down. And the best coffee by far is Nescafe instant drunk at home with lots of sugar and full cream cow milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flare Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 It's a shame to hear Coffee Smith still hasn't gotten their act together (I like 24-hour places as I can stop at them before early morning rides). I went a couple times when they first opened and were offering 2-for-1 deals (when it was easier to overlook their flaws), but haven't stopped by in a few months.
