Ceresia

Run by a Thai and his Venezuelan wife and her sister, Ceresia specialises in superb gourmet coffee from around the world served with plenty of love and affection. Bret Asavaroengchai and his wife Lucia Aguilar and her sister Marian know coffee inside out, as the Aguilar's family were coffee growers, and the beans here are all sourced from single origin farms and cooperatives around the world and given meticulous attention to how they are grown and processed, with Ceresia stocking seasonal blends from countries ranging from Kenya and Ethiopia in Africa to Columbia and El Salvador in the Americas. Coffee is roasted daily in small batches to maintain its original flavour and the owners are more than happy to make suggestions and describe the entire coffee making process from farm to espresso maker. The homey cafe also has some wonderful pastries to go with the fine brew, and you might find yourself staying here longer than planned, chatting up the owners about all things caffeine.
