Hobby Coffee Brewers

Hobby Coffee Brewers is a specialty coffee bar on Soi Pho Khun 5 in central Chiang Rai. It does not roast its own coffee and instead rotates beans from outside roasters, with a strong lean towards filter coffee from South America and Africa.

Besides pour-over, the shop is known for creative fruit-based specialty drinks that pair coffee with seasonal flavours, and a small dessert menu sits alongside the drinks.

Its changing bean list makes it a counterpoint to the many Chiang Rai cafes that serve only local beans, and it is a useful stop for anyone who wants to compare northern Thai coffee with imported lots during a coffee tour of the town.
