Chayen Coffee

Tucked into Tukwila's Rendition Hotel, Chayen Coffee brings a bold Thai twist to Seattle Southside's café scene. This sleek, modern cafe specializes in both traditional Thai coffees and teas and unique, creative drinks. Run by a pair of siblings who started it as a coffee truck before opening the Tukwila location in 2025, it has the heart and soul of a small, family-run business.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Thai-Inspired Drink Menu: Chayen's signature drinks are Thai tea and Thai iced coffee—a rich, refreshing pick-me-up made with bold brewed coffee, sweetened condensed milk, and cream. If you want to try a modern twist, you can also order a version of this drink made with espresso shots.

Fresh Bites: Enjoy a locally sourced pastry or freshly made sandwich with your drink.

Unique Specials: This cafe is always switching up its menu with fun new drinks like a "Galaxy Latte" made with lychee syrup and sparkling soda, or a taro latte that made it off the "secret menu". Follow them on social media to keep up with what's new!

Family Business: Chayen Coffee is run by the Hiranworawuthikul siblings, who began the business as a small trailer traveling to markets around the region. It became so popular that they were inspired to open a brick-and-mortar location.

The Vibe: Chill and Minimalist
The café boasts an airy, white-walled space accented with greenery and soft lighting—perfect for a quick break or laid-back meetup.
