Noom Coffee in Bangkok, Thailand

It appears I never posted about my December visit to Noom Coffee in Bangkok, Thailand.  While exploring the neighborhoods of Bangkok, I discovered this coffee shop down an alley off an arterial street.  Don’t ask me where this was, as I just blindly walked around and couldn’t make sense out of any street sign.

Despite the [...]

Stewed Dragon With Chinese Herbs

While searching for coffee in Bangkok, I walked by a food court that was selling Stewed Dragon.  I regret not trying it.  How many opportunities does one get to eat a stewed dragon?

My Non-Coffee Adventures in Southeast Asia

While I’ve been gradually posting coffee related stores from my trip to Southeast Asia here on Coffee Hero, I completed my non-coffee posts over on my personal blog.  If you are just here for the coffee, you are free to head to recess now.  However, if you are interested in the non-coffee side to Thailand, [...]

Fearing Black Canyon Coffee in Bangkok, Thailand

While looking for espresso as I explored the streets of Bangkok, I found a sign inside a shopping mall pointing me in the direction of a place called Black Canyon Coffee.  With a logo that seemed more fitting for Arizona than Thailand, my interest was peaked.  I walked in the direction the sign was pointing, [...]
