Local Coffee

Local Coffee, also known as Local Coffee and Home Roasters, is a specialty cafe on Phahonyothin Road in San Sai subdistrict, north of central Chiang Rai.

The shop roasts northern Thai beans bought from local growers, all to a light profile, and the focus is on hand-poured filter coffee, with espresso drinks also on the menu. Coffee cocktails appear alongside the standard menu, and cheesecakes and brownies are served with the coffee. The team has links with local growers, and visitors can sometimes meet farmers through the shop.

It is a short drive from the town centre and makes a good first stop for anyone exploring the city's specialty coffee scene.
