Green & Been BKK
Spot on Phloen Chit Road.
About Green & Been BKK
Green & Been is a specialty coffee bar on the 2nd floor of One City Centre (OCC), the office tower on Phloen Chit Road beside BTS Phloen Chit. Routeen reports it is a new brand from Chef Kakan. The room is minimal and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows, lots of natural light and greenery, which makes it feel calm for a café inside an office building.
The baristas use single-origin beans and a house blend. Wongnai lists an Iced Americano and a 'Fast Cup' coffee at 120 baht each, plus matcha lattes. Donuts and pastries cost about 75 to 80 baht. Wongnai puts it at 101 to 250 baht per person, and LINE MAN delivery is available.
It suits a relaxed weekday coffee date, perhaps before a walk or shopping around Ploenchit and Chidlom. Visitors recommend coming around 4 pm, when the light through the windows looks best. It is only open Monday to Friday, so plan it for a weekday.
Why it works for a date
- Bright, airy room with beautiful light
- Well-made specialty coffee
- Fair prices for central Bangkok
- Easy BTS access
Good to be aware of
- Closed on weekends
- Inside an office tower, so it is busy at commuter times
- Small food menu, mostly pastries
