Songwat Road, weaving parallel to Yaowarat, feels like Bangkok’s best-kept secret—where riverside vibes meet buzzing café culture.
1. BEANS Coffee Roaster
A striking corner spot that blends heritage charm with modern roastery finesse. Expect a wide range of beans—from budget-friendly brews to their exclusive Songwat Blend. Must-tries: Dirty coffee and their affogato, served through a quaint side window
2. Terroir BKK
Minimalist vibes and carefully roasted brews define this quiet gem. Go for a clean single-origin pour-over or a bright signature espresso.
3. Local Boys Coffee
A bold splash of orange in a narrow alley brings this cozy shophouse to life. Their signature: Dirty Coconut Coffee in an iconic orange can.
4. Songwat Coffee Roasters (SRC)
A minimalist, concrete-tiled roastery famed for its house-roasted beans and Instagram-worthy space. Savor the Viennese coffee (with salted butterscotch cream) or a shakerato.
5. Rong Klan Nuea
Hidden in a Sino-Portuguese shophouse, this beef noodle hotspot blends rich history and modern taste. Bowls come in both soup and dry styles; the Emperor Beef Noodle (฿250) features braised cuts like tendon, tongue, brisket, and beef balls in an 18-hour bone broth, topped off with chili oil, garlic and optional patongo dough for dipping.
Songwat delivers a delightful half-day adventure for coffee aficionados, culture lovers, and wanderers alike.
