Welcome to Café en Casita, our newly opened café located on the ground floor of our hostel in the heart of Bangkok’s historic Phra Nakhon neighborhood!

We serve as a unique bridge between travelers and the local Thai community, combining traditional coffee, Thai tea, and matcha with our signature Latin vibe and specialty beverages.

Whether you are already an expert in artisanal teas, matcha, and coffee, or looking to expand your skills, this is the ultimate opportunity to learn and grow! We provide access to easy-to-use yet professional coffee equipment so you can master signature drinks in a friendly, supportive environment.

As a volunteer, you will be an essential part of our daily life, helping us create a warm, energetic atmosphere for international travelers and local regular guests alike.
