Beaker and Bitter is a lab-themed coffee shop in Ari, Bangkok, set inside a converted pharmaceutical factory. The interior is full of quirky details, beakers, lab coats, and vintage equipment that make it unique and fun. Drinks are creative, and there are light bites and cakes too.

This place was within walking distance from Ari Station. As someone trained as a biologist, I love how this café maintained the image of the former pharmaceutical company. It felt like walking into a lab! The staff spoke good English, and they helped us choose what to have. Payment with Indonesian QRIS is accepted. When I collected our orders, they were served as if they were lab experiments, and the staff let us take pics of them first. The main hall was rather stuffy especially during a hot day, but the A\Ced room we chose was nice. I had Thai tea coffee for a drink... It was okay but I want to try other drinks from them next time I go there!

Love the concept and layout of this cafe. There are different spaces with varying levels of talking allowed, which is perfect for all types of work! The community room does smell a little like chemicals though and I also wish the cafe had better lighting in some areas. But all in all, I loved how the drinks tasted and were presented and the service was great!

A cool science theme coffee shop/ co working space. The building used to be a pharmacy manufacturing facility of sort, and the decorations is very much well thought of. (Even to a small details) This would be a great place for those who love photo shooting, they even have some props specifically for anyone to use. There are quiet zone for those who wished to study, a normal sitting zone and a private meeting room for rent on hourly basis. Their menus looks quite interesting, they got a lot of special menus would be a good place for those who love to try some creative drinks. (I saw a mint coffee menu which I regretted not ordering it) Also, the price is very reasonable. I had tried their Black and white, which is an americano with syrups and a Marshmello shaped whipped cream. It was quite alright, I mean the contrast concept resonates with the drink but I just not prepared for that sweet black coffee. And their waffle crossant which was very delicious. All in all, good place if you wants to find a place to enjoy some coffee. I would definitely visit this place again.
