Fika & Co. Cafe

Champion-built drinks at an office-block counter

The bar team is the reason this counter has a reputation: a two-time Thailand National Barista Champion, a World Barista Championship semi-finalist, and the first runner-up in the 2023 World Coffee in Good Spirits. That competition habit shows up directly in the drinks, which are composed rather than simply pulled.

Fika & Co. runs as a Bangkok coffee shop and roastery, with branches at Singha Complex and on Sukhumvit 62. The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops listed it at number 61 in 2026 and described it as a home of champions, which is the fairest summary of what the business trades on: everyday coffee shaped by competition technique rather than a long food menu.

A compact counter with an office-hours rhythm

The Singha Complex branch is a small espresso-led counter near the Asok and Phetchaburi junction, with big windows, limited seating and lunchtime queues from the surrounding offices. The rhythm is short: order, wait a moment, move on.

That suits the crowd it serves, office workers and commuters wanting a precise drink without a long cafe session, plus specialty coffee drinkers making the trip for the bar team. Food stays deliberately small, cookies, brownies, cakes and light sweets, supporting the drinks rather than turning the stop into brunch.

Coffee Manhattan, then whatever is guesting

If you order one thing, make it the Coffee Manhattan. It is the clearest named signature and the most direct expression of what the bar does, espresso service with cocktail-style construction behind it. Coffee Craft Beer is the other headline order for the same reason, and Cascara Soda shows the shop's interest in coffee fruit as refreshment rather than a straight espresso drink. Matcha espresso suits anyone who wants the two flavours in one glass.

For a second round, follow the guest coffee if one is on. A recent example was Volcancitos from Nueva Segovia in Nicaragua, washed, brewed over ice and showing clear citrus acidity with light floral aromatics, which is a good indication of how far the bar works beyond a fixed house list. Keep the pairing simple: brownies or cookies are the clearest companions, with cakes and other small sweets in the same frame. The visit is meant to be compact, one champion-built drink, a small sweet if needed, then back out into Asok.
