Top 5 cafes in Bangkok

Dolcetto Italian Café

Dolcetto Italian Café has everything you’re looking for in a cafe: delicious food, delightful coffee, Instagram-worthy aesthetics, and comfy seating areas. Step inside, and you’ll be transported to a lemon orchard somewhere around the Amalfi Coast. Both the cosy indoor area and the charming outdoor terrace are perfect for brunch or coffee with friends. You could spend an entire day here, munching away delicious Southern Italian delights.

If you come for breakfast, we recommend trying their smashed avocado with crispy Italian sourdough, scrambled eggs, mozzarella and smoked salmon. Craving for pasta? Don’t miss out on their tortiglioni all arrabbiata with Sicilian chilly, which is a flavourful dish with a bit of a spicy kick. They have a wide range of panini options, too, but if we have to choose one, we’ll probably go with the focaccia with porchetta, tomatoes, lettuce, and Cacio e Pepe spread. And true to its name, you’ll also find delicious sweet desserts at Dolcetto Italian Cafè. From pistachio to bomboloni to chocolate mousse, desserts at this cafe will make any day feel like a special occasion.

A spacious garden, clean interior, and big windows are what Glig Cafe is all about. Glig is short for “Good Luck I Guess,” and with the four-leaf clover logo, luck really is on your side when you try their delicious offerings. From coffee and matcha to choux and brioche, everything here is as delicious as it looks. We especially love their Hazelnut Chocolate Choux, but if you’re looking for something unique, try the Chamomile & Aloe Vera Choux. Step in to escape the heat with their air-conditioned seating or chill outside in the beautiful garden setting. No matter where you choose to sit, whether inside or out, Glig Cafe ensures you’ll feel comfortable and camera-ready for those insta-worthy photos.
