Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

NANA Coffee Roasters Ari is exactly the café most people think of when they say Ari is Bangkok's coffee district. Located on Soi Ari 4, the glass-fronted building, with its warm wood accents and lush greenery, features a garden, bright main floors, and a quieter mezzanine. Originally a roastery run by two Thai baristas, it has since grown into a small café group. Over 30 single-origin coffees are roasted in-house and prepared using methods such as siphon, pour-over, or espresso. The staff are happy to explain the aromas of each coffee variety.

The menu features a full brunch selection, not just pastries. For example, the Nana platter costs 495 baht, and croissant toasts range from 320 to 390 baht (as of 2025). The restaurant is therefore suitable for both a late breakfast and a coffee. Expect a wait during peak hours, especially on weekends.

It opens at 7:00 AM on weekdays and 8:00 AM on weekends, closing at 6:00 PM. The Ari BTS station is about a 10-minute walk away, and the surrounding streets are full of other small cafes and restaurants, making it a good starting point for a relaxing morning in the neighborhood.
