Craft

Craft is a specialty-coffee café on Bo Ya Nyunt (Sandwith) Street in Dagon Township, Yangon, Myanmar, set on a quiet central street. It is a useful stop for a laptop break, a coffee or a brunch, and it reflects the growth of specialty coffee culture in Yangon, where Myanmar-grown beans and carefully prepared espresso drinks have become more common. Signature items include specialty coffee, brunch plates and pastries. Coffee is the focus, and visitors can order espresso-based drinks, filter coffee or iced options, which are welcome in Yangon's warm climate. Brunch plates provide a more substantial meal with Western-style breakfast and lunch dishes, and pastries are available for a light snack. The room is calm and modern, with a quiet to moderate noise level, comfortable seating and a mix of remote workers, friends meeting for coffee and visitors taking a break from sightseeing. Dress is casual. Beverages beyond coffee include tea, juices and soft drinks, and the venue is not a bar. Prices fall in the mid-range ($$) bracket for Yangon, higher than a local tea shop but reasonable for specialty coffee by international standards. Reservations are not required, and walk-ins are normal. Opening hours typically run from morning to evening; verify locally. The Dagon Township location on a quiet street is central, reachable by taxi from downtown and many hotels, and it is a calm alternative to the busier arterial roads. Visitors who work remotely can check whether power outlets and wifi are available on arrival, since conditions vary. The café suits a late-morning brunch before an afternoon of sightseeing, or an afternoon coffee to escape the midday heat. Travellers interested in Myanmar coffee can ask the baristas about the beans being served, and some cafés sell bags of roasted coffee to take home.
