Orin Coffee roaster & Specialty tea

you're on tha tian alley, a backstreet in phra nakhon that runs close enough to wat pho that the temple bells carry if the traffic quiets down. it's not a part of bangkok that most people associate with specialty coffee, which is exactly what makes orin coffee roaster & specialty tea worth stopping for. they roast their own beans, which means what ends up in your cup has been thought about well before you walked through the door. the specialty tea side of the menu is genuine too, not an afterthought. regulars here are loyal in the way that takes time to build, and that loyalty says more than any single visit could. go in the morning, before the tourist foot traffic picks up along the river road.
