our story
We didn’t start with a master plan.
We began with a question:
“Would others find specialty coffee as fascinating as we do?
If not—why?”
In 2020, somewhere in Chiang Mai, Thailand, that question became a spark.
Not a business.
Not a forecast.
Just raw, honest curiosity about the world of specialty coffee.
That spark pulled us into the unknown.
We experimented, tasted, failed, and tried again—not to prove anything, but to understand our craft. To chase joy and create something meaningful.
We brewed what we loved. We made mistakes and stumbled along the way. But we discovered something real: Coffee doesn’t need to be perfect to move you; it just has to be honest.
So we kept brewing the kind of specialty coffee that enhances our mornings—simple, unpretentious, and full of feeling. If our coffee brought us even a little joy, we figured maybe it could do the same for you.
However, the grind showed up—not the kind that fills a grinder, but the kind that tests your spirit
Turning passion into something real isn’t easy. We were young, figuring it out. And we still are.
Some people only saw the result. Some laughed when we tried too hard. Others said, “They were just lucky.”
But we’ve seen what effort truly looks like.
Trying is not weakness. Hustle isn’t a punchline. We looked up to those who try harder, even at the top—like Kobe and A$AP Rocky, who proclaimed, “Since when has it become not cool to try?”
That resonated with us.
So here we are, a little older, a little bolder—still marching, still creating, still innovating with ideas about specialty coffee in Chiang Mai.
ROWDY isn’t just coffee. It’s a rhythm, a canvas, a movement—built for the curious, the creative, and those still figuring it out.
It’s a quiet rebellion against apathy—a space not just to serve but to spark a community. To celebrate the effort behind every cup of specialty coffee we brew.
We don’t have all the answers. But we show up—with curiosity, intention, and a fire that never quits.
ROWDY exists because of people like you—the ones who care, who hustle, not for applause, but because it matters.
Come take this ride with us. Let’s build something worth waking up for—let’s celebrate the joy of specialty coffee in Chiang Mai together.
