Bangkokians are loving their coffee dirty these days; here are the best places to get yourself one in the city
1/7 Bora Bora
From Australia to Lan Luang, Bora Bora boasts Korean, minimal style and specialises in filter coffee, cold brews and Australian specialty coffee. Their dirty is deeply rich and will make you want another one. Tucked away in an alley, Bora Bora is a hidden gem for caffeine fiends.

2/7 Bonci
A blend of Scandanavian style and mid-century, Bonci is presently Sapan Kwai’s hottest coffee hub. Interiors of warm woodl and plenty of natural light permeate the ground floor, while the second floor offers more of a bar vibe. The signature Bimbom Cream (150 baht) here is inspired by dirty coffee. The Bonci twist to it, however, is the house cream added atop.

3/7 Ports Coffee
If you’re in need of some zen, head to Ports Coffee, where the ambiance embraces a Japanese “less is more” approach as well as light wooden tones. Pair the relaxing visit with a dirty (110 baht) that is exquisitely layered and made of a special, aromatic blend.

4/7 Crime BKK
“It’s a crime to drink good coffee,” says Crime BKK, and their dirty happens to be their recommendation. Mrs. Rich (120 baht), as its playfully named, is medium-dark roasted and intense, topped with a splash of cold milk cream. To visit and not try it would be a crime.
