Our Story
Dek Doi, meaning “Mountain Kids,” is a Northern Thai cafe located in Oakland, California. Known for its specialty coffee and tea sourced from the northern regions of Thailand like Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, Dek Doi Cafe serves a variety of Thai snacks, desserts and drinks that remind us of home - like roti, mango pancakes and Thai-style chicken and waffles.
“The roti, a type of flaky pancake, might be more familiar to Americans as a savory appetizer in Thai restaurants. Dek Doi, however, serves the roti in its street food form, as a dessert topped with either coconut and corn or nutella and banana. It is delicately flaky and tender, much less dense than the frozen roti that you can find in freezer aisles.”
