Best coffee shops for iced black coffee?

honestly cafe de la brique on soi 26 does a great iced black coffee, they use a house blend thats pretty smooth. not sure if they do a full 20oz but they do have a large size that's way better than starbucks imo

tbh if you're near Asoke, check out Kaizen Coffee on Soi 23. they do a nitro cold brew that's like 16oz for 140 baht and it's super smooth, no sugar nonsense. not quite 20oz but the nitro makes it feel more substantial if that makes sense

also Factory Coffee near BTS Phaya Thai is worth the trip, they have a black coffee called "Mr. Black" that's basically a double shot over ice in a big cup. costs like 120 baht and they'll add more ice if you want it bigger. way better than starbucks and not pretentious about it

You'll want to check out Artis Coffee on Sukhumvit 33. They do a proper 16oz cold brew that's strong and not sweet, about 130 baht. If you're near Thonglor, Roots in the Common area also does a decent black coffee but their sizes top out around 12oz. For that massive American-style cold brew fix, try Coffeeology on Soi 49 - they'll give you a 20oz for around 160 baht and it's actually brewed properly, not burnt tasting like some places.

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
