MORE THAN A COFFEE SHOP

Who we are

The two most important things to know about us are:

We’re passionate about creating delicious, healthy, vegan allergen-free food. Read more about the ingredients we use here.
We are part of a larger organisation called Steps which provides training and employment to young people living with neurodivergence, such as autism.

Our people

Theera healthy bake room was founded by Theeta ‘Uang’ Hotrakitya. Prior to opening Theera, Uang studied at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and started selling her homemade products via Facebook.

Uang’s son has autism, and like many others with his condition he is gluten intolerant. But when Uang tried to find tasty allergen-free food she struggled. It is often imported, losing the homemade touch. Uang got into the kitchen straight away trying to make his favourite foods gluten free and still as delicious. Her journey towards opening Theera had begun.

Today Theera is one of Bangkok’s most popular spots for tasty, nutritious food. Uang’s passion for developing and improving her recipes means she’s always expanding the menu to offer customers more choice.

Our ingredients

Quality, organic ingredients are incredibly important at Theera. Where possible, we support local retailers and collaborate with many local businesses who share our ethos such as Patom and Broccoli Revolution.

Our social impact

In 2016 Theera joined a larger social impact organisation called Steps. Steps runs vocational training centres for neurodivergent young people, alongside cafes and other businesses where they can get work experience and employment. Theera is one of the many businesses which now trains and employs young people from the Steps training programme.
