This is my last cafe for the this trip and I actually didn’t plan to pay a visit until one of my respected coffee people in Thailand simply told me “You should go.” Just that I’m convinced to add another cafe for this cafe crawl trip.
The name is quite unique indeed even though it sounds strange to me at the beginning. The owner wants his customers to be able to try all the cakes on offering as much as they could so he intentionally makes cake and things smaller, thus the name “Size S” that stressed the small size of its offerings. I can only wonder whether this concept will fly elsewhere, say, in the US, as the opposite is what creates the ooh and aah there, not the ‘small wonder’ like this, I believe.
Nevertheless, I didn’t have enough time to try its cake offering; also the free parking was limited to one hour for Bt200 spending at Size S so there was a rush to wrap things up faster than what I like. Yes, I’m cheap lol. Take public transportation if you want to linger a bit.

Still, I remember the drip was reasonable, clean and clear enough while not top notch to make out of layers of taste; barista also aerated the brew by pouring back and forth several times, likely to round out any edge, if any, of the brew he made. No matter what, I got the more familiar citrusy and sweet tone I’m more familiar with Colombia these days. However, the coffee had a dirty tone on a very far end of the taste spectrum. It was not easy to notice but if you looked, it was there for you to be found. Initially I thought it was the roaster and green bean selection issue. Nevertheless, after discussion with quite a few barista and having quite a few Colombia lately, this could be the issue with coffee bean from Colombia this year which, I was told, is not as good as years earlier. So I gave the benefit of the doubt to the quality of the roast here. So did the bean selection.
Espresso of Size S blend of Ethiopia, Colombia and Thai, all natural coffee, was pulled by Mr. Kong himself from Strada MP and the Fiorenzato grinder, an Italian grinder which is new to me.
The espresso was on the tight side, which I don’t like, but I can’t complain much for the rest of the cup.

Cappuccino was my most disappointed cup here. The cup had a strong tone of unsweetened yogurt and, as I suspected, the coffee base was double ristretto, a tradition that I seem to find more and more at cafe with a strong regional influence. The double ristretto Cappuccino, to me, was too much coffee/too little milk issue that usually resulted in a domineering tartness/sourness in the cup that distracted any other good things that cup might have, like milk sweetness, and, at time, interfered with the feel of texture of the steamed milk no matter how good it is.
