Ponganes Coffee Roasters

About

Ponganes Coffee Roasters is a small-batch specialty roaster tucked into a quiet alley in Chiang Mai's Old City, operating since 2011 with roots in Australian coffee culture and a deep focus on sourcing Thai beans direct from local farmers. Reviewers consistently praise the coffee quality, with one noting the shop showcased the 2025 Thai coffee bean competition winner. The space is described as clean and modern but at least partially open-air rather than a fully enclosed, air-conditioned room. The menu includes espresso, brewed and iced coffee, non-dairy milk alternatives, and breakfast snacks. No reviewer mentions wifi, power outlets, or laptop work, the draw here is exceptional coffee, not productivity infrastructure. Best treated as a quality coffee stop rather than a work base.
