Bangkok’s New Café Wave: Fresh Faces From Ari to ICONSIAM

Bangkok’s café scene adds a double dose of specialty with Homeground Coffee Roasters opening its first Thai outpost in Ari. The Singaporean roaster focuses on single-origin beans—including a Bangkok-only Doi Chang blend—poured in a bright, ground-floor shop (2, 6 Soi Ari 1, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400). It’s steps from Two Eight Squared Coffee, also new to Ari, pairing industrial style with straightforward brews and a touch of experimentation for loyalists and first-timers alike (33 Soi Ari 3, daily 9 AM–7 PM).

Siam Paragon welcomes two new options: Bacha Coffee, a Moroccan-inspired spot specializing in Arabica and boutique takeaway, and Nicolo Bakery (Siam Paragon), heavy on tiramisu and Italian-influenced desserts served on the fifth floor. Parameter brings gelato to the ground level, while Ralph’s Coffee Bangkok (Central Embassy) launches a stylish pit stop for coffee at the luxury mall next door.

Other newcomers spread across town include green hideaway Cafe Lom in Rama 9 (site, Instagram, Maps), Japanese tea bar O’cha no Tonari in Thonglor, and riverside Bacha Coffee ICONSIAM. For more to do this weekend, see the Things to do this weekend in Bangkok, September 25–27 2026.
