Operating on Soi Rambuttri since 2011, The First brands itself a specialty coffee roaster and opens at 6am for early risers near Khao San Road. Behind the compact shopfront with its thatched palm awning, a garden courtyard opens up: koi pond with wooden walkway, white statues, and tropical planting under wooden pavilions.
The menu runs wide: espresso, hand drip, cold brew, croissants, smoothies, and mocktails. A combo deal pairs any hot drink with a pain au chocolat for 159 baht.
