Hau Yong Seng, a secret cafe on the Thonburi side


“From the smell of soy sauce to the smell of coffee — a cafe in an old factory that is almost a hundred years old”

If you are someone who is fascinated by the charm of old buildings, the smell of wood, cement walls and sunlight through wooden windows,
“Hau Yong Seng” is one of the cafes that you should not miss.

But did you know that before becoming this cozy cafe, this place used to be an ancient soy sauce factory
under the name “Hau Yong Seng” that has been familiar to the Chinese community for more than 80 years?

This place used to be a place where the smell of fermented soy sauce permeated the alley.
Fermentation tanks lined up, the sounds of workers and hard work were the daily life in this building.

When time changed, the factory stopped production.
But the new generation of heirs did not leave this building as only a memory.
He chose to transform this place into a cafe that “preserves the spirit of the past in a new form.”

The interior of the shop still maintains the original structure with determination.
The atmosphere is warm, full of vintage decorations, old wooden tables, iron fans, the same soy sauce buckets that were actually used.
Every corner has a story and every menu is served with the scent of the past.

Try ordering hot tea Or have a light sip of old-fashioned coffee
And sit and watch the sunlight hit the wooden table surface... You might smell the old soy sauce floating on the wind.

Hau Yong Seng is not just a cafe, but it is a 'memories that still breathe'.
