Aran Bicicletta is the name
Okay, let me start introducing my Bangkok life in Aree with this coffee shop. Why it should be this first? No particular reason I guess.... Ah off course because I adore coffee shops in Thailand ehehehe... Thailand is heaven for coffee aficionado. You can find local blend with good quality and internationally acclaimed good coffee in very reasonable price.
Here is the illustration: I have to pay 45 baht for local blend with a so-so quality in Jakarta while here I can have a much more high quality of local blend (from the north is good) starting from 30 baht. According my friend Bowo, even coffee from BTS station is better than what we have in luxurious coffee shops in Jakarta. And I can get 60 baht Illy coffee, compare to 100 baht in Jakarta.
I have in this neighborhood, Aran Bicicletta. This is a coffee shop slash bike shop, less than 10 minutes walk from my house. So if you are a bicycle junkie, this is your place to go. The coffee is good, the barrista is a quiet Thai girl with good skill. She's not a bartender, right? So don't expect her to be chatty hahahah
It has wooden chairs and tables in both indoor and outdoor place. If you get use to sit in a bar, you will not have any problem with the chairs. As for me, it took me 2 visits to get use to it without feeling weirdly-about-to-fall :p Oh ya, they usually post hippest events in Bangkok that you can come. Like the launching of something last month that I cannot remember anymore, or the visit of DJ something which I also don't familiar with ehehehe...
I think Aran is name of the owner. Nerdy type of man, artist look (in my opinion). Sometimes I overheard him talking with customers so for sure I know that he speaks English well which is rare for Thais. You can ask advise about what bike is suitable for your need and any gatherings of bicycle groups in Bangkok. Actually I would like to have a bike for my mobility back and forth to office and maybe (just maybe) I'll buy one from here :))
Oh this small coffee shop has free wifi and lots of power plugs so you can enjoy your coffee and good company easily. no worries if you're by yourself because somehow they have smaller corner/table available. Nice, eh!? :)
Notes: I am not (yet) the spoke person of this place :p

First of, welcome to Thailand. Glad that you like living here so far. :D I have never been this place yet. I found your blog from searching for information about this place. It seems really nice. :)
Since you're living around Aree, I would like to recommend "PH1b" where is around the corner. There is also free Wifi and excellent coffee (Lavazza coffee, I think.) But the place is quite small though. Go early. :D
Have fun living here. If you need a coffee lover frind, contact me. hehehehe ^_^
