Authors' Lounge

Authors' Lounge

Steeped in timeless elegance, the Authors' Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental is one of Bangkok’s most iconic tea venues. Located on the ground floor of the original Oriental Hotel, it exudes old-world charm with white rattan furniture, soaring glass ceilings, and a serene garden view. Paying homage to the many writers and artists who once stayed here, the lounge offers a classic afternoon tea with delicate pastries, finger sandwiches, and scones. Just remember—this is a refined affair, so avoid shorts and sandals to meet the dress code.

Floral Café at Napasorn

Floral Café at Napasorn

Tucked in between flower shops in Bangkok's bustling Flower Market, Floral Café at Napasorn is a whimsical little escape where blossoms steal the spotlight. Step in from the busy market lanes and you’re met with rustic and charming interiors, seasonal floral arrangements, antique chandeliers, and even a resident cat to complete the cosy picture. The menu leans on the sweet side with quality coffee, teas, smoothies, and cakes—slightly pricier than your average Bangkok café, but the serene, flower-filled setting makes every baht worthwhile.

Old Town Cafe Bangkok

Old Town Cafe Bangkok

Just a short stroll from the Grand Palace, Old Town Café is a tranquil little hideaway where the pace of the city slows, with soft jazz in the background and a mellow, mixed crowd. The menu blends well-made classics with playful twists—like the Iced Old Town Muddy, a latte layered with matcha and sugar. Pair it with a baguette or light bite, and you’ve got the perfect recharge spot before heading back into Bangkok’s Old Town.

Wallflowers Cafe

Wallflowers Cafe

Hidden away on Soi Nana, just a short walk from Chinatown, Wallflowers Café is another floral-inspired gem. The café spreads across multiple floors of a restored old building, each corner filled with greenery, vintage furniture, and plenty of character. There’s even a rooftop terrace for those who want to sip coffee with a view of Bangkok’s Old Town. The menu features beautifully presented cakes (the carrot cake is a standout), light lunch dishes, and creative drinks like fruit teas and specialty coffees, often adorned with edible flowers. With its garden-meets-vintage charm, warm natural light, and photogenic nooks at every turn, Wallflowers Café feels more like a secret escape than a typical Bangkok café—making it well worth seeking out.

Nestled in a lush, leafy corner that feels a world apart from the city bustle, the café exudes warm, rustic charm with wooden tables, hanging dried flowers, and plenty of greenery inside, while outside, a serene garden seating area invites guests to relax and unwind.

The Cassette Coffee Bar

The Cassette Coffee Bar

Situated near Siam Square, The Cassette Coffee Bar feels like a café straight out of a Wes Anderson film—pink walls, vintage-style lighting, and a touch of old-world glamour that resembles a chic hotel lobby or even a 19th-century train carriage. It’s one of the most Instagrammable spots in Bangkok, perfect for a coffee break between shopping sprees. The menu is small but thoughtful, with smooth medium or dark-roast coffees, refreshing teas, and a few desserts. Don’t miss the young coconut cake—fluffy, light, and delicately sweet with layers of fresh coconut. Prices do lean on the higher side, but the whimsical design and friendly, well-dressed staff make it more than worthwhile. Just be aware: seating is limited, so snagging a spot during peak hours can be tricky.

BAY Aree

BAY Aree

Whether you’re in the mood for a daytime coffee, a slice of cake, or an evening cocktail, BAY Aree has you covered—best enjoyed in its cosy, dimly lit, cowboy-themed interior.

Bartels

Bartels

Bartels on Sukhumvit is a bright, airy café where Scandinavian minimalism meets Bangkok energy. Behind the counter, fresh sourdough loaves are baked daily, ready to become tasty sandwiches or breakfast rolls. Cold-pressed juices arrive in vibrant hues, and the coffee pairs perfectly with the baked goods, making it an ideal stop for a leisurely brunch or a mid-morning pick-me-up.
