Pattaya Coffee Franchises
Like any big city in Thailand, Pattaya is no different in its choice of global coffee franchises. Walk into any mall and you can see Starbucks, Black Canyon or McDonalds.
The Thai big brands are almost everywhere such as Amazon, Boncafe, Coffee World and the Aussie brand The Coffee Club. All competing for the very lucrative coffee baht.
You get exactly what you would expect from these franchises, good service and a coffee taste that is uniformed.
Thai Coffee
Where Pattaya really scores is the number of small business coffee houses that are either owned by individuals or local business. A large number of these are owned by Thais as their love of coffee has reached almost epidemic proportions. Even some 7/11 shops have a freshly ground coffee brand called All Cafe.
If you are lucky you can find Thai coffee for sale in some of the more bijou establishments, and if you get the opportunity your really must try one. In the south of the kingdom around Surat Thani, Chumphon, Krabi and Ranong, they grow Robusta beans. Whilst in the north in the Golden Triangle area they grow some fine Arabica coffee.
Individual Coffee Houses
Some of the best coffee establishments in Pattaya that are not part of the big franchise operations are:
- Sketch Book Art Cafe – a delightful Thai cafe that offers a laid back atmosphere and serves some great coffee. The establishment doubles as an artists paradise and there are art classes for those interested.
