About Roast Coffee

Roast Coffee & Eatery is Bangkok's most celebrated specialty coffee destination, and their flagship location in EmQuartier's Helix building is nothing short of spectacular. Opened by passionate coffee enthusiasts, Roast has been at the forefront of Bangkok's third-wave coffee movement since 2013.

The EmQuartier location spans a generous space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the famous spiral gardens. The industrial-chic interior features exposed brick, copper fixtures, and a massive coffee bar where skilled baristas craft exceptional drinks. It's both a serious coffee destination and a comfortable spot for work or socializing.

What sets Roast apart is their commitment to sourcing and roasting. They work directly with farms across Thailand and internationally, roasting beans on-site to ensure freshness. Whether you prefer a perfectly extracted espresso, a delicate pour-over, or their signature cold brews, the quality is consistently outstanding.

Beyond coffee, Roast serves an excellent all-day brunch menu with Western and Thai-inspired dishes. The space is laptop-friendly with good WiFi, making it a favorite among Phrom Phong's remote workers and digital nomads.
