The Roastery by Roj

The Roastery by Roj is a roaster and cafe on Sanambin Road in Rop Wiang, founded by Roj Pongpijit, who is credited with bringing third wave coffee to Chiang Rai.

The shop roasts its own beans, mostly light washed and natural lots, and keeps more than ten local options for filter and espresso. It also roasts coffees from other countries and works with nearby farmers on coffee development. Bags of beans are sold to take home. A full food and non-coffee menu is available, and the carrot cake has a following. There is seating inside and in an outdoor area.

It opens from 8am to 5pm, with Wednesday closures reported.
