A guide to the best cafes in Bangkok

1. Oh! Vacoda Cafe & The Fruit Bar Club

Ari, a hip neighbourhood in North Bangkok, is growing into somewhat of a cafe heaven. Oh! Vacoda Cafe & The Fruit Bar Club is one under-the-radar gem to add to your cafe-hopping list, especially if you’re not in the mood to face the traffic congestion in town. This retro-inspired cafe offers old-school 1980s vibes combined with Japanese influences, plus an avocado-themed menu to spice things up.

For brunch, there’s the Pancake Avocado Bacon Souffle Egg (฿290/~S$11.10): a thick bacon-crusted buttermilk pancake topped with a cloud-like egg, served with slices of fresh Thai avocado on the side. The hearty main is also drizzled with maple syrup for that sweet-savoury touch. You can also order their Mozzarella Cheese Balls with Avocado Wasabi Mayo (฿190/~S$7.30) to share. Then, round up your meal with a double dose of sugar and caffeine; the Affocado (฿220/~S$8.40) pairs espresso with creamy avocado ice cream.

Their Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict (฿360/~S$13.70) features grilled sourdough with slow-cooked pork, two poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce. It also comes with a side salad that’s light and refreshing. Pair your brekkie with an Iced Black (฿100/~S$3.90), or order their signature Smoked Cinnamon Orange Espresso (฿160/~S$6.10), a zingy concoction of orange juice, soda, espresso, and honey, with a smoked cinnamon stick.

3. Nana Coffee Roasters

Nana Coffee Roasters is an IG-famous cafe with three outlets across Bangkok. Their baristas have even bagged a few titles at global brewing competitions! The vibes at their Ari outlet are immaculate; the spacious compound has seats on two levels, plus an outdoor garden where you can dine if the Bangkok heat is forgiving enough. Else, choose to sit by the counter to watch the baristas in action.

You won’t go wrong with a Piccolo (฿150/~S$5.80), a single shot of espresso topped with less steamed milk than an actual latte, so you get to taste the coffee notes better. Then, pad your stomach with their Tamago Sando (฿350/~S$13.40)—thick toast loaded with house-made egg mayo—or get their Timber Ring Matcha (฿250/~S$9.60), the cafe’s take on the viral cream-filled croissant.

Else, the Berry Matcha Latte (฿120/~S$4.60) is equally delicious; this layered drink comprises rich matcha with sweet and tangy berry jam.

For something sweet, order a slice of Chocolate Macadamia Cake (฿100/~S$3.90): rich chocolate cake drenched in a sticky caramel sauce, topped with whole macadamia nuts.

NGL, at first glance, Unfinished Coffee Roaster gives off major Keijometo cafe vibes.
