Best new cafes in Bangkok 2024 (so far)
Balzac Bangkok
Opening hours: Tuesday, 14:00 to 18:30 / Wednesday to Friday, Sunday, 10:00 to 18:30 / Saturday, 10:00 19:00
Address: 43, 357 Charoen Krung Road, Si Phraya, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, Thailand
A cafe, a library, and an art gallery all in one – Balzac Bangkok is très chic. Exuding French charm from every corner, the exterior alone will transport you to the streets of Paris. Inside, the walls are covered with vintage posters and shelves filled with treasures waiting to be discovered, from French classic literature to an eclectic collection of films and classic vinyl records.
Zac, the friendly owner of Balzac Bangkok, ensures that every visitor is treated to impeccable service and a memorable time. Take a seat at one of the cosy tables and bask in the inviting ambience while savouring their delectable coffee selection; our favourite is the Cappuccino. For something refreshing, treat your taste buds to their Limonade or Citronnad. And make sure to pair your drink with their scrumptious Apple Pie. Blueberry Tart, or Croque Monsieur. Come alone to read books or with friends to spend some quality time together, you’re guaranteed to have a good time. And did we mention that they have regular movie nights? Yes, every Wednesday, you can enjoy a movie screening accompanied by popcorn, a sandwich, and a drink, all for 299 THB.
The Pastry & Co.
Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 12:30 / Saturday to Sunday, 09:00 to 17:00
Address: 463 Phra Sumen Rd, Wat Bowon Niwet, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200, Thailand
If you’re chronically online, you’ve probably already caught wind of The Pastry & Co. and maybe even given their stuff a taste test. They finally opened their first physical store – a charming two-story shophouse on Phra Sumen Road in Bangkok’s Old Town. From the outside, you’ll be greeted by a laid-back shop adorned with green and white tiles. Step inside and you’ll be enveloped in a cosy and inviting atmosphere. For those seeking more elbow room and natural light, make your way upstairs to the second floor.
Wondering if the menu at the physical store is any different from what you can order online? You betcha! While their famous choux flavours are on offer, prepare to be wowed by an assortment of unique flavours that aren’t up for grabs online. Moreover, don’t forget to indulge in their crowd-pleasers like the Raspberry Lychee Tart and Hazelnut Chocolate Tart – they’re worth every calorie. And since it’s mayongchid season in Thailand, we recommend trying their seasonal special, such as Mayongchid Parfait and Mayongchid Choux Cream.
Loewy
Opening hours: Daily, 08:00 to 18:00
Address: 2nd floor, S&B Tower, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok 10500, Thailand
This beautiful cafe tucked on the second floor of S&B Tower offers a delightful escape from Silom’s hustle and bustle. Bathed in natural light, Loewy offers stunning views of the surrounding buildings. The interior is equally captivating, with each table thoughtfully spaced for a sense of privacy.
But what makes Loewy one of the best new cafes in Bangkok is its menu. For a caffeine fix, try the Chocpresso for a satisfying blend of rich chocolate and bold espresso, or opt for the refreshing Lemon Something made with coffee and Loewy’s special recipe. The matcha selection is also not to be missed, featuring delicious options like Matcha Strawberry latte and Matcha Affogato. As for food recommendations, be sure to try the Smoked Salmon Sandwich with dill and capers or the Parma & Rocket sandwich featuring parma ham, rocket, cheese, and balsamic dressing.

Make your way to Greydient & Them, a unique collaboration between Greydient Lab, a renowned design studio hailing from Singapore, and Them.x Coffee, an exceptional cafe in Samut Prakan. This exciting venture made its debut during the Bangkok Design Week on 27 January 2024.
The coffee bar boasts a chic loft-style ambience that is both trendy and visually appealing. Conveniently situated in Asoke, Bangkok, this new cafe is easily accessible via the BTS Skytrain. The menu offers a wide array of drink options to suit every taste bud. They have three blends that you can try: Them Blend (Brazil + Rwanda), Greydient Blend (Thailand + Brazil + Uganda), and Her Blend (Rwanda + Colombia). From the Americano to Caramel Latte, all of their classic offerings are delicious. But don’t miss out on their special drinks, too, such as Bandung Breeze and Craft Cola. Moreover, you can pair your drink with their selection of delectable cakes. The must-tries, in our opinion, are Lemon Cake and Banoffee. Each one is sure to delight your palate.

The star of the show? The Original Churros, is a crowd favourite loved for its perfect blend of crispy exterior and soft interior. Dip these delectable treats into luscious cream cheese lemon curd or rich chocolate sauce for a truly gratifying experience that will leave you craving more. The drinks deserve a mention, too! If you need a caffeine fix, go for the Dirty Coffee. However, if you prefer something bubbly, try the Yuzu Sparkling.
Cham Thing

Address: Borommaratchachonnani Rd, Bang Bumru, Bang Phlat, Bangkok 10700, Thailand
Cham Thing is a charming thing nestled on Soi Bromratchachani 12. It’s actually a four-story community space, and the cafe is located on the first floor together with a multi-brand clothing store. The interior design screams fun, with the showstopper being a massive red cherry sculpture that draws in all the attention. In fact, you’ll see many young people snapping pics with the red cherry while you’re there.
To truly soak in the atmosphere, make sure to try Cham Thing’s Latte Cherry Signature. It’s a heavenly blend of milk and coffee, infused with cherry syrup, then topped with whipped cream and dried strawberries. Additionally, this cafe in Bangkok also has a range of mouthwatering treats, such as Blueberry Cake and Salmon Bagel.

But here’s the real treat: they whip up some seriously mouthwatering homemade sweets! The owner, with a background in Tokyo and Fukuoka cake shops, brings to the table treats like the delectable Tonka Cheesecake and Mochi Flour Roll Cake. This new cafe in Bangkok is also a great place to have brunch with friends. Our top picks? The rich and flavorful Mentaiko Spaghetti and the oh-so-satisfying Japanese Curry Rice with Chicken Cutlet.

Located on Phra Athit Road in Bangkok’s old town, this charming cafe exclusively serves, as you’ve probably already guessed, dairy-free ice cream crafted from Thai coconut milk and coconut water. It’s a dream come true for those who are lactose intolerant. The menu is ever-evolving, so make it a habit to visit frequently for new surprises.
While the Classic Coconut and Rich Coconut will always hold a special spot in our hearts, we also recommend trying other flavours like Shine Muscat and Mangosteen. The fan-favourite, PistachiOH!, is also a must-try. Aside from the delicious flavours, the cafe’s vibrant decor featuring lively green chairs and blue tables adds an extra touch of whimsy to your indulgent experience.
