Somtamnication Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 And I award them the Most Honorable Certificate of the Grand Poopa for being the most expensive, overrated coffee place in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinchester Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 "...in the category of Modern Coffee Shops." Call me ever so slightly cynical but one suspects the competition was limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 This is why I do not use Starbucks or any other coffee chain................I cannot understand the menu !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfiddler Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I just don,t get it. Twice I had one of their "coffees" and in neither case could I detect any coffee flavour, very strange ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 They should get an award for ripping off customers when they charge 130 baht for a cappuccino in Thailand. That's more expensive than in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fex Bluse Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Coffee is bad, but Starbucks' main sell is not coffee. It is "a 3rd space, between work and home". They are selling a place to hang out and spend money. Regarding the award, surely Starbucks, as a FARANG brand, is better managed than any of the Thai competition. So, easy win.

Orton Rd Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 went in one once, never again, usually go to Amazon coffee, 50 baht and just as good. Seems to be the place for Thais to show off in with their Mac books etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Amazon coffe is not any good IMO. Try Benjamit coffee when you visit Pattaya, best coffee there is and they roast their own beans. 60 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
returnee222 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I think the award is fair. They have ignited brand recognition and Thai's love it almost as much as Dunkin Doughnuts and other international brands. The product might be technically crap but that's beside the point, they manipulated and manipulated well, grant award.. True coffee might be same price and a better coffee but to Thais it doesn't have facebook and instagram appeal they crave, forget the caffeine, and they didn't wasted 1-2 months salary on an iphone x or samsung 9 to take pictures in true coffee..

atyclb Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 if you dont need a fancy place to sit the 7/11 capuchino for 25-35 baht is fine. sit at a food court with a 7/11 capuchino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Benjamit coffee when you visit Pattaya, best coffee there is and they roast their own beans. 60 baht. benjamit does quite well emulating italian style roast/blend coffee. 60 baht for a thai coffee espresso is a bit steep considering no aircon but they have a very expensive la marzocco leva machine. pook restaurant uses their coffee and they also do it correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Its just overpriced coffee for tourists. I heard they have to pay 100% import tax on their coffee, not sure if that's true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Agree - Benjamit coffee is good AND you can buy packs to use in your filter machine at home. Any other recommended brands in the Pattaya area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
