TJ Coffee Roaster

a roaster that actually takes sourcing seriously, on a street that most visitors to chiang mai walk right past. wua lai road is better known for its saturday night market, but soi 3 off that stretch is where tj coffee roaster has quietly built something with real staying power. the regulars here aren't casual about it, and that consistency says more than any passing review could. if you're spending time in the hai ya area, this isn't a detour, it's the point. chiang mai has no shortage of cafes leaning on the city's reputation for good northern thai coffee culture, but a dedicated independent roaster at this address is worth your time on its own terms. come for the morning, stay through a second cup.
