About
Coffee Room Yaowarat is at 206-208 Yaowarat Road on the Chakkrawat side near Woeng Nakhon Kasem, a specialty cafe Time Out describes as quiet and understated, all soft whites, with only the low hum of a roaster near the entrance to interrupt. Beans are roasted on site daily, blends and single origins, and an americano starts at 60 baht, gentle for a district where the contemporary Chinese cafes charge more. The feature The Nation filmed is a wall of beans from more than 20 origins from which customers build their own blend, guided by the owner, a certified Q Grader, and the cafe keeps an open-door policy for anyone wanting to learn flavour profiling or roast for themselves. The upper floor is a co-working space that doubles as a small event room. Grab's list of 20 Yaowarat cafes puts it first, with a Grab score of 4.8 from thirty-odd reviews. Open daily 07:00 to 18:00, earlier than most cafes around here, so it works as a meeting point before walking Sampheng. Google rates it 4.9 from more than 500 reviews. No independent review of the food has been published; this entry rests on Time Out and The Nation's video. Five minutes from MRT Wat Mangkon.
