Cafe Amazon: Southeast Asia's Starbucks

Cafe Amazon (카페 아마존) Open daily: 08:00 ~ 20:00 No holidays, no parking available Originating in Thailand, Cafe Amazon is the world's 6th largest coffee franchise. It has numerous branches across Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and the Philippines, and has also expanded to China and Japan. This makes it a prominent franchise cafe in Southeast Asia. In other words, Cafe Amazon is essentially the Starbucks of Southeast Asia. Even its identity color is similar—green. Like Starbucks, it is ubiquitous, and you can find this cafe in almost every city in Thailand. When traveling, weather conditions like extreme heat or sudden rain can greatly affect your plans. Additionally, tight travel schedules can lead to fatigue or thirst. Whether you need a quick place to work, access to Wi-Fi, or just a break, cafes often become a go-to spot. While local cafes can be a good choice, they sometimes fail to meet your needs—like being too hot inside or lacking Wi-Fi. This is where reliable franchise cafes come in handy! Cafe Amazon offers a wide variety of snacks at its counters, many of which are its own private brand (PB) products, complete with the Cafe Amazon logo. The prices are comparable to similar items sold in supermarkets, and some are even cheaper. Feel free to pick up anything that catches your eye! The visual appeal of the snacks is great, and while the taste is decent, the chocolate drinks are particularly recommended. I ordered coffee for the caffeine but ended up wishing I had gone for the chocolate instead. Cafe Amazon fulfills all the reasons travelers might visit a franchise cafe—affordable prices, diverse desserts, and consistent quality. It truly lives up to its reputation as Southeast Asia's Starbucks. While visiting local cafes can be enjoyable, franchise cafes like Cafe Amazon are perfect for travelers seeking reliable quality and services. If you're tired of hit-or-miss drinks, stopping by Cafe Amazon is definitely worth considering.
