Cafés & Pastries

Bangkok is a café city. Alongside its coffee scene, a wave of home-grown bakeries now turns out laminated croissants and salted-egg lava pastries that rival anywhere in the region — often at neighbourhood prices. This is our growing list of the ones worth the trip.

We favour places where the baking is done on site and you can taste it: warm pastry, honest pricing, and a room you would actually want to sit in. Each entry says what to order and how to get there.
