Starbucks

good place to stop by and have a quick sip of cold drink!

Three stars. As Bruce Lee once proved, precision and speed matter—and this Chinatown Starbucks delivers on speed… but maybe forgot the dramatic flair. The coffee was solid and correctly made, the shop was clean, and nothing went terribly wrong (which in coffee terms is already a small victory). Still, the service felt like everyone was in a silent kung fu battle with the espresso machine, and seating was about as rare as a calm rush hour. Overall, perfectly fine for a caffeine pit stop—just don’t expect enlightenment with your latte.

Located right in the heart of Chinatown, this Starbucks is a convenient stop when you’re walking around Yaowarat. The outlet is clean and well maintained, with the usual Starbucks menu and quality you expect. Seating is a bit limited and it can get busy, especially in the evening due to heavy foot traffic in the area. One important thing to note: they do not accept cash here, only card or digital payments. Good place for a quick coffee break, but not ideal if you’re carrying only cash.

31/October/2025 Had Chai Tea (105baht) here after my lunch, was good. Nice ambience. Friendly staff. They only accept cards payment here.

“Strolling around Wat Mangkon, paying respect to the Buddha, and exploring the market — after that, I can cool off at Starbucks in I’m Chinatown. The staff are lovely and friendly.”
