Pumping up some great java juice

The aromas of freshly brewed coffee and fruit waffles wafting out from Inthanin Premio
draws shoppers at CentralWorld into this friendly cafe all day long. Opened last year by
Bangchak Petroleum, it’s the first branch of Inthanin Coffee – a mainstay at more than 130
Bangchak gas station around the country – to be launched in a shopping centre.

Targetting office workers and the urban crowd, the cafe uses quality Arabica beans from
Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai as well as Robusta beans from the south. It’s has a natural
ambience and is furnished in wooden tables, comfy sofas and chairs for 30 people.

“This is the first premium outlet outside a gas station,” says Seri Anupantanan, marketing
business development division manager. “We’ve designed the cafe to be as relaxing as
possible and we serve aromatic coffee with desserts made mostly from fruits.”

Worth trying is the Inthanin Premio, a blend of Arabica and peaberry with a satisfying
strong kick. The cafe also offers four espresso choices: perfect, ristesto, longo and dropio
ranging in price from Bt45 to Bt90, as well as cappuccino, mocha frappe, matcha green tea
latte, Americano, chocolate cocoa and black tea latte.

If you need some sugar, the cafe offers more than 20 kinds of cakes and desserts every day.
The best sellers include a scrumptious summer-cheese cake with fruits for Bt85,
strawberry waffle for Bt95, orange cake for Bt75, cranberry yoghurt for Bt95 and chocolate
cake for Bt80.

There’s also a great range of smoothies priced at a very reasonable Bt50. Flavours include
mixed berry, rosella blended with strawberry, honey lime, passion fruit mixed with
pineapple and Thai tea blended with mangoes.

Last Friday, the cafe opened a new branch at Bangchak pump at Bangna-Trat KM 4.5. We
were quick to check it out and in addition to the coffee and sweets, there’s a selection of
local dishes on offer too.
