Why is this Slow Bars so Popular?
The Third Wave Coffee Movement is growing in Canada, making people more interested in bean origins, brewing methods, and specialty coffee flavours.
Coffee lovers are seeking more refined, balanced flavours instead of mass-produced, overly sweetened drinks.
The slow bar provides a calm, intentional experience, perfect for those who enjoy coffee as a ritual rather than a quick fix.
Proud Mary’s slow bar is all about quality over speed—a place where every cup is brewed with passion and precision.
The slow bars across Thailand, coffee is treated as a craft, focusing on high-quality beans, precise brewing methods, and balanced flavours. Unlike the sweet, condensed milk-heavy coffee shop bought coffee, slow bars emphasize specialty coffee, single-origin beans, and alternative brewing techniques. Here are some popular espresso-based and slow-bar coffee drinks in Thailand that we have been experimenting with.
1. Espresso Tonic
A refreshing combination of espresso, tonic water, and citrus peel. It’s a real favourite in Bangkok’s specialty coffee scene, offering a crisp, slightly bitter, and bubbly experience.
2. Dirty Coffee
A slow-poured hot espresso over cold milk, creating a stunning layered effect. The contrast in temperature and textures makes each sip unique.
3. Coconut Espresso
Fresh Thai coconut water or coconut milk blended with espresso. It offers up a smooth, tropical twist with a naturally sweet finish.
4. Black Orange
A mix of espresso and fresh orange juice, sometimes with a touch of honey or soda. It as a bright, citrusy, and slightly bitter—a popular slow bar signature drink. We at Proud Mary’s Coffee changed the name and it is now our signature slow bar drink, The Sunrise Serenade
5. Thai Cascara Soda
Made from the dried coffee cherry husk (cascara), brewed as a tea-like infusion and mixed with soda. Light, fruity, and slightly floral—a popular non-coffee option at Thai slow bars.
6. Espresso Romano
A classic espresso shot served with a lemon twist to enhance acidity and brightness. This is real popular among coffee purists in Thailand’s slow bars.
7. Traditional Thai Milk Tea (ชาไทย – Cha Yen)
Thai milk tea, or Cha Yen, is a rich, sweet, and creamy iced tea known for its vibrant orange colour and bold, spiced flavour. It’s a staple in Thai street food culture and is often served in plastic cups with a straw or in a metal mug over crushed ice. This is a Proud Mary’s Coffee staple drink.
Slow bars in Thailand highlight craft, precision, and specialty coffee beans. They contrast sharply with the sweet, fast, and bold flavours of street-side Thai coffee. Have you visited any Thai slow bars?
