About Craftsman Roastery and Brew Bar

Craftsman Roastery and Brew Bar is at 12 Soi Chan 43 Yaek 45, near Sathu Pradit Soi 20 in Bang Kho Laem. It sits in a converted old warehouse and machine shop. Reviewers describe high ceilings, industrial walls, a mix of wooden furniture and natural light coming through translucent panels, with plenty of seating and many corners for photos.

It is a working roastery, so the coffee comes first: several house-roasted beans in different roast levels, plus signatures like Samui Holiday (coffee with coconut water) and a cinnamon Spice Latte. Yuzu drinks and cakes such as lemon curd cheesecake round it out. Wongnai puts it at about 101 to 250 baht per person, with most drinks around 125 to 175 baht.

It suits a daytime date: a slow morning coffee, a shared cake and a wander around a striking old building. It closes around 17:00 to 18:00, so plan it before lunch or early afternoon. Reviewers suggest a weekday visit, because weekends bring queues and crowds.

Why it works for a date

• Striking converted warehouse space
• Good house-roasted coffee with many bean options
• Roomy seating and on-site parking
• Creative drinks such as Samui Holiday

Good to be aware of

• Long queues on weekends
• Prices on the premium side for a café
• Few power outlets for working
