Thai Iced Coffee – Bold, Sweet, and Uniquely Thai 🇹🇭

If you're looking for a drink that packs a punch of caffeine with a creamy sweetness, Thai Iced Coffee is a must-try! Popular across Thailand and Thai restaurants worldwide, this classic drink delivers a rich, refreshing experience with every sip. ☀️


A Taste of Thai Tradition

Thai iced coffee served in a clear glass, with creamy milk swirling into rich dark coffee over ice.

Thai iced coffee has its roots in Thai-Chinese culture, where strong black coffee was brewed using robust dark-roast beans—often blended with a touch of grains like corn or soy for a fuller flavor. The result? A powerful brew that's both earthy and aromatic.

Originally served on the streets of Thailand in plastic cups or bags filled with ice, it quickly became a go-to drink to beat the tropical heat.


Ingredients & How It’s Made

Traditional Thai iced coffee is made by:

  • Boiling ground dark roast coffee with hot water

  • Straining through a cloth coffee sock (a traditional Thai method)

  • Adding sweetness with generous sugar or sweetened condensed milk

  • Topping with milk or cream and pouring over crushed ice

The result is a drink that’s sweet, bold, and creamy—perfectly balanced for coffee lovers who enjoy a rich and flavorful experience.


How Thai People Drink It

In Thailand, this coffee is usually very sweet and strong, making it a favorite among those who need a mid-day energy boost. It’s commonly sold by street vendors and enjoyed all year round, especially during hot seasons. Thai iced coffee is typically darker and sweeter than American iced coffee, with a more intense caffeine hit.


How We Make It at Bangkok Cafe

At Bangkok Cafe, we craft our Thai Iced Coffee with love and care. 💛

We slow brew dark Thai coffee, then strain it the traditional way.

After that, we sweeten it just right, and finish it with half & half cream instead of condensed milk—giving it a smooth, rich texture without being overly sweet.

It’s bold, beautiful, and balanced—just the way Thai coffee should be. 🧊☕
