Ceresia Coffee Roasters
15, 1 Sukhumvit 41 Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Ceresia is one of the few Bangkok cafes where the roasting and the serving happen under the same roof. The fortnightly bean subscription and regular cupping sessions make it genuinely useful for anyone who wants to take coffee home, not just drink it out. For expats building a specialty coffee routine, this is a practical first stop, not just a scenic one.
The name Ceresia comes from the Latin word for the coffee cherry, and that etymological choice signals intent. Since opening in 2013, this Sukhumvit 41 roastery has operated with a single stated goal: to preserve the original flavour that the farmer put into the bean, rather than roast it away.\n\nBeans come from single-origin farms and cooperatives across Asia, Central America, and Latin America. Roasting happens weekly on-site, which means what goes into your cup was roasted days ago, not months. That matters more than it sounds. Most Bangkok cafes buy from a roaster; Ceresia is the roaster.\n\nCupping sessions are available for those who want to go deeper. Varieties like Kenyan Kianjuki AA have featured in the lineup. For home drinkers, a subscription delivers beans every two weeks. Both offerings point at the same customer: someone who wants to understand what they are drinking, not just consume it.\n\nThe practical caveat worth knowing: the cafe closes at 5PM every day, including weekends. That closing time cuts off the after-work crowd entirely and makes this primarily a morning and early-afternoon destination. Plan accordingly.\n\nThe location sits about 10 minutes on foot from BTS Phrom Phong, deeper into Soi 41 than most casual visitors wander. Free parking is available on-site for those arriving by car or motorbike. Hours run 8AM to 5PM daily, including public holidays, which makes it more reliable than cafes that trim hours on Thai public holidays.
