If you love drinking tea somewhere relaxed in the old town, Meeting Point recommends Tea Bar Cafe, a not-so-secret tea shop near the Giant Swing (Sao Chingcha). It has a chill, leafy atmosphere and is tucked away in Trok Wat Ratchanatda.
The Tea Bar Cafe we're taking you to is the second branch. It's in the Wat Ratchanatda community lane, which can feel a little mysterious while you're looking for it, but we promise the atmosphere is lovely: calm and quiet, with a glimpse of daily life in the community. It's still lively, though, being close to Bangkok City Hall, with a local market nearby, and it's an area where both Thai and foreign visitors come to stroll and find good food.
The cafe has a minimalist design that feels like sitting at home: quiet, peaceful and friendly. It's airy and open, and the plants in every corner make it fresh and relaxing.
The cafe's signature drinks
- Organic Assam tea: the cafe sources tea leaves directly from Chiang Rai and cold-brews them for 8 hours. This cold-brew tea is the base for drinks such as rose tea, Wall Flower, Heaven Herb Tea and lychee tea. We tried them too; they were delicious and very fragrant.
- Coffee: the cafe makes stovetop coffee with a moka pot, using 100% Arabica beans. Options include Brazil, Ethiopia and Colombia, plus beans the cafe roasts itself. Each bean suits hot or iced drinks differently, so ask the barista for a recommendation.
