[CharlieH]

No matter where you are in the capital, no area is spared from dashing cafes that have sprouted up across the city

 

One thing tourists (and locals) love to do in Bangkok is café-hopping. With an ever-growing list of new and trendy cafes popping up all the time, you’ll never run out of places to explore. No matter where you are in the capital, no area is spared from dashing cafes that have sprouted up across the city as of late.

So, if you’re eager to try something new, here are some of the best (relatively) new cafes in Bangkok for 2025.

 

CULT Thailand, Ruamrudee

 

• Location: 125/26 Ruamrudee 3 Alley (near BTS Ploenchit)
• Opening Hours: Daily, 9am to 6pm

 

CULT Thailand is part wellness bar, part supplement boutique, and part coffee shop. The Ruamrudee venue has become a hotspot thanks to its mirrored aesthetic and health-focused menu. Imagine marine collagen matcha, chia puddings, and adaptogen-packed lattes.

Every drink and dish on their menu is made to support wellbeing without compromising on flavour. Their signature Moon From Mars latte combines vanilla-fermented espresso with nutrient-rich adaptogens. Their superfood smoothie bowls are also unmissable, with paleo brownies and coconut-based chia parfaits catering to all dietary needs, vegan, gluten-free, keto, you name it.

 

Dusha Cafe, Surasak

 

• Location: SVL House, 35 Surasak Rd. (BTS Surasak Exit 1)
• Opening Hours: Daily, 8am to 8pm

 

A Phuket favourite now in Sathorn, Dusha is a stylish coffee spot with a touch of vintage flair. Expect serious coffee credentials here with SCA-certified baristas brewing beans from Thai micro-roasters. The Long Love Story cold brew is a crowd favourite, and the bakery counter is packed with croissants and cookies.

The cafe blends dark wood, soft jazz, and Italianate marble for a nostalgic yet modern feel. Their seasonal menus spotlight rotating local ingredients, with plans to launch an all-day brunch menu soon. Dusha often hosts DJ sets on weekends, adding a lively touch of chill house to their refined ambience.

Walden Woods Bangkok, Ekkamai

 

• Location: Ekkamai Soi 12 (walk from BTS Ekkamai + short moto ride)
• Opening Hours: 9am to 6pm, closed on weekends

 

A minimalist vibe imported straight from Kyoto, Walden Woods Bangkok is completed with raw plaster walls, indoor gardens, and slow-brew filter coffee, perfect for the quieter moments. Their soft-serve with espresso and gourmet hot dogs are unusual standouts.

Inspired by the writings of Henry David Thoreau, Walden Woods leans into the theme of simplicity and reflection. Natural light floods the space, highlighting raw concrete and wooden textures. Here, slow life is the name of the game, and you are encouraged to take your time. No loud music, no rushed service, just a peaceful cafe experience that feels worlds away from Bangkok’s chaos.

Get Some Coffee, Lang Suan

 

• Location: 87 B1, Lumphini, Pathum Wan (Close to Ratchadamri BTS)
• Opening Hours: Daily, 7.30am to 9pm

 

From Korea’s speciality scene to Thailand’s capital, Get Some Coffee brings a slice of Korean coffee know-how to Bangkok. Initially launched in Seoul in 2016, it’s now buzzing in the Big Mango with a simple yet sophisticated menu.

The menu offers classic espresso-based staples alongside more inventive brews, all roasted to highlight bean quality. Every day coffee lovers and purists alike will find a favourite here, from precise cortados to soft, velvety flat whites. Dessert lovers will especially appreciate their offerings, often described as “not too sweet,” with hints of homemade style.

Pralet Thailand, Ekkamai Corner

 

• Location: M Floor, Ekkamai Corner Mall (BTS Ekkamai)
• Opening Hours: Daily, 10am to 7pm

 

Singapore’s cult sourdough doughnut brand has arrived in Bangkok, with a branch in Ekkamai corner, and it’s already seeing long queues. Their square-shaped doughnuts fly off the shelves quickly! So don’t miss out.

Their signature flavour comes from the fermented dough, and the menu rotates limited-time flavours announced on Instagram. There’s limited seating, so most opt for takeaway. Their drinks, like cold brew lemonade, are the perfect contrast to their doughnut. Who can turn down creative Thai twists on familiar Singaporean classics?

Sips Cafe & Bar, Sathorn

 

• Location: 100/1 Naradhiwas Rd., Sathorn Nakorn Tower (BTS Chong Nonsi)
• Opening Hours: Daily, 8am to 9pm

 

Equal parts cafe, cocktail bar and restaurant, Sips transitions from brunch to bar as the day goes on. With Doi Chang espresso drinks in the morning and yuzu negronis in the evening, it’s a great all-day hangout in Sathorn.

By day, it’s filled with co-workers and brunch-goers; by night, the lights dim and cocktail shakers come out. Helmed by the former chef of Sarnies, Sips infuses Singaporean tea culture into their Thai-Western fusion bites. Their tom yum alfredo and Thai green curry pasta are just the kind of comfort-fusion Bangkok does best.

 

Ripple Coffee Roasters, Wong Sawang

 

• Location: Soi Wong Sawang 29 (Near Wong Sawang MRT)
• Opening Hours: Weekdays, 8am to 5pm | Weekends, 8am to 6pm

 

As a garden-style space, Ripple is known for its koi ponds, bamboo decor, and flight sets of light and dark roasts. Their motto is “Every cup, a Ripple of happiness,” but this happiness isn’t limited to drinks only, as their food and dessert menu also stand out as stars of the show.

It’s one of the few places in northern Bangkok offering this level of coffee curation. Their rotating blends are roasted in-house, and the staff guide customers through tasting notes. The choice is not always easy: sit inside surrounded by cedar panels or outside by the pond, but nevertheless, the vibe is always calming, serene, and Instagram-worthy.

BeanBoys, Ramintra

 

 

• Location: The Ground, Pradit Manutham Rd
• Opening Hours: Weekdays, 8am to 5pm | Weekends, 9am to 6pm

 

BeanBoys is distinct for its orange brick architecture and garden cafe layout, making you feel right at home. Their signature drinks are crafted with experimental flair, such as the Dirty White topped with brown sugar cream, and citrusy espresso sodas served over sparkling tonic.

From cosy reading corners to wide communal tables, BeanBoys is designed as a multi-purpose space: think studying, chatting, or enjoying slow coffee moments. With a rotating pastry menu and a pet-friendly zone, it’s clear why BeanBoys has quickly become a favourite among Ramintra’s coffee fans.

 

Two Men Bagel House, Silom

 

• Location: 39 Soi Yam Rak, off Sala Daeng Rd (Short walk from BTS Sala Daeng)
• Opening Hours: Daily, 7.15am to 4pm

 

Another of Singapore’s beloved bagel brands has arrived in Bangkok, and this time, with cheeky murals, hefty bagel stacks, and a loyal following. The Bangkok shop mirrors its Singapore sibling’s loud-and-proud attitude.

From breakfast bombs, cheesy melts, and rotating monthly specials, one thing pairs perfectly with their bagels: Coffee. As a note for large groups, their shop is compact and fills fast, but worth the wait for what may be the city’s best bagel fix.

I'm more interested in the view 'from' the cafe, although if very pleasant setting inside, that's a plus.

 

Hard to beat the view 'from' StarBucks @ ICONSIAM.  And if anti-StarBucks (come on, they serve something you'd like), then right next to Starbucks, there's Napolai Terrace, no purchase necessary for admission & same view.

 

 

For aesthetics at & in the Coffee Shop (restaurant) grounds, you'd be hard pressed to beat one of our favorites, Natura Cafe @ Thong Chom District of Krung Thep (BKK) ...  Serve up great food also 👍👍

If you're a petrolhead - then Curvistan is a cafe worth visiting.  Original Porsche concept models and good coffee too.

 

Next to Thong Lor BTS.
