About % Arabica Bangkok Empire Tower

Fifty-five floors above Sathorn, % Arabica frames clear sightlines across to the pixelated Mahanakhon Tower alongside serious coffee craft. Follow the EA markers on the ground floor to catch the dedicated lift, stepping straight out into a stark white pavilion suspended over Bangkok. Commuters and travelers seek out the Kyoto latte—condensed milk cutting through a dialed-in extraction—flanked by iced matcha and flaky croissants. Morning light offers the easiest access; the twenty-odd stools set along the floor-to-ceiling glass take in the sprawling cityscape before afternoon crowds gather.

  • Sky-High City Vantage: Floor-to-ceiling windows on Level 55 frame sweeping city sights right across to the Mahanakhon Tower.
  • Dialed-In Coffee Craft: Baristas pour smooth espresso, signature Kyoto lattes, and matcha balanced against buttery pastries.
  • Private Tower Entrance: A dedicated ground-floor elevator sequence whisks visitors away from street bustle directly into the clouds.

Why Visit % Arabica Bangkok Empire Tower

Elevated 55 floors above Sathorn, discover why coffee lovers and travelers ascend to Bangkok's highest viewpoint. Book your visit to secure your spot above the clouds.

  • Vast 55th-Floor Skyline Panoramas

    Hovering on the 55th floor of Empire Tower, the space offers front-row sightlines of the Mahanakhon Tower and the sprawling cityscape below.

    Set on the 55th floor, the outlet keeps to Arabica's signature minimalist style, but it's the views that really set this location apart — stunning sightlines across to the Mahanakhon Tower.

  • An Inspiring Elevator Arrival

    The journey begins before the first sip, guiding guests through a dedicated lower entrance and sleek elevator ride soaring above Bangkok.

    The experience begins before you even reach arabica, the area that leads you to the lift is so beautifully decorated, and soon as you walk up to it the light airy atmosphere takes you in

  • A Serene Retreat from City Bustle

    Floating far above the metropolitan traffic provides a calm, reflective break from the pace of Bangkok.

    It's the perfect place to escape the city's hustle, enjoy a quiet conversation, or simply sit back and watch Bangkok move around you.

  • Peaceful Coffee Breaks with a View

    With floor-to-ceiling glass wrapping around the high-rise perimeter, guests can pause for a slow, peaceful drink above the sprawling streets.

    The view from this coffee shop is great. It's wonderful to sip your drink and look out on the city.

  • Architectural and Visual Allure

    Suspended luminous fixtures and floor-to-ceiling vistas over the Chao Phraya River make the interior an architectural showpiece worth sharing.

    The all-white minimalist interior — crowned with an iconic ceiling of suspended white flask-shaped lights — creates an almost dreamlike atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking panoramic views of the Chao Phraya River and the city's glittering skyscrapers.

  • A Memorable High-Rise Destination

    The minimalist, sky-high setup creates an iconic setting that travelers actively seek out to document and celebrate.

    We are few of the first customers on a weekend, come early as the shop opens at 7am, skip the crowd because the cafe is so instaworthy.

Before you head over

Essential advice on elevator access, peak timing, and window seating to ensure an effortless 55th-floor coffee experience. Book your visit now to take in Bangkok's skyline from above.

  • Arrive Early for Prime Window Seats

    With limited perimeter seating facing the skyline, queues build quickly—especially around peak morning hours and sunset. Arriving right near opening or before 9:00 AM gives you the best chance of claiming an unobstructed window seat overlooking Mahanakhon Tower.

  • Locate the Dedicated Level 55 Elevator

    Reaching the 55th floor requires a separate elevator bank rather than the main commercial office lifts. Enter Empire Tower from BTS Chong Nonsi, follow signs for EA on the ground floor, and take the dedicated high-speed elevator directly to the cafe.

  • Claim a Table Before Ordering at the Counter

    Because indoor capacity is concentrated right along the perimeter windows, scout and secure an open table before placing your counter order. Keep in mind this intimate scenic venue is designed for scenic coffee pauses rather than prolonged co-working sessions.
