Bangkok’s best new cafes of 2025

In a city full of coffee spots, some places still manage to stand out – not just for what they serve, but for how they bring people together. An architect and coffee equipment curator has opened a space of their own, a minimalist hideaway designed to foster a sense of community among coffee lovers. The interiors are thoughtfully styled with light wood and soft-toned fabrics from @moonler.furniture, a Thai contemporary brand known for blending craft with calm. The result is a space that feels both refined and welcoming. On the menu, you’ll find single-origin brews from @dakcoffeeroasters, a roastery based in Amsterdam, served in exclusive cups created in collaboration with @mkstudio_cph. Every detail feels intentional and the whole experience is a quiet celebration of design, coffee and connection.

Address: 496, 4 Song Wat Rd, Samphanthawong. 080-654-7988. Open Mon & Wed-Sun 8am-5pm. Closed Tue

More Kyoto than Bangkok, Kurasu Thonglor is a calm refuge from the usual Thonglor buzz. The space is naturally bright and uncluttered, wrapped in soft timber tones and subtle, easygoing vibes. Signature Bangkok Blend, made from Thai-grown beans, is silky smooth with gentle hints of caramel and berry. There’s even a flavour chart to help you match your mood – from citrusy and floral to deeper chocolate notes. If you're feeling adventurous, single-origin filter options rotate regularly, so there’s always something new to indulge. And don’t skip Anko Toast – thick, fluffy bread with butter and sweet red bean paste. Simple, nostalgic and just right with a warm cup. Truly, Kurasu is a quiet favourite for those who appreciate craft over flash.

Address: 1109/2 Sukhumvit 57 road, Khlong Tan Nue Sub. 064-941-2639. Open Daily 7am-6pm.

When you think of a department store like Emporium, you might expect a cookie-cutter cafe or just another polished retail space but this new corner is anything but typical. They’ve transformed the old parking lot into a creative hub where craft, design and community come together. Think of it as a little village of ideas: there’s Sauce Coffee, serving up aromatic brews made with beans from Gem Forest Coffee. Right next to it is Colorama, a cheerful eatery that turns every plate into a rainbow of vegetables, proving that healthy can be both colourful and crave-worthy. You’ll also find a curated selection of tableware, with certain handcrafted pieces made exclusively for this space. And perhaps the most unexpected twist –  the parking ramp has been reimagined as an open art zone, lined with creative installations and cosy corners where you can sit back, relax and take it all in.

Address: 3/F, Emporium, 622 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Tan, Khlong Toei. 022-691-240. Open Daily 10am-8pm 

The third flagship store from Rise Coffee has officially landed, this time at One Bangkok and it's as sleek as it is satisfying. The space feels both polished and cosy, with a warm mahogany and gold palette divided into three functional zones: an espresso bar, a bakery counter and a slow bar for filter purists. The modular layout uses non-footprint laminate and bold orange marble details to craft everything from menu boards to merch shelves, while Alpi Sottass plywood adds a touch of softness to the cafe's modern angles.

If you're into pour-overs, don’t miss Rise exotic filter, featuring Geisha beans from Ching Saetao. The Menu of the Month spotlights black Kyoho, and sweet tooths will want to snag a cup of red velvet stick.

Address: One Bangkok. 094-187-4000 Open daily. Mon–Fri 7am–9pm, Sat–Sun 8am–9pm.

Morgen Coffee, tucked away on Soi Phromsri, brings a quiet pause to the otherwise buzzing Sukhumvit scene. The space is compact yet open, with high ceilings and a clean mix of raw concrete, white tile and pale wood that makes it feel airy and intentional. Coffee here leans Brazilian Arabica – smooth, balanced, and brewed with care. The real standout? Morgen classic, a freshly baked financier that’s buttery, soft and just sweet enough to leave a mark. What sets the place apart is how the light moves through it – brushing against textured walls, mixing with the scent of fresh brewed coffee in the air. That’s the kind of calm Morgen delivers, just steps from EmQuartier.

Address: 3/5 Soi Phromsri 1, Khlong Tan Nuea. 092-848-7643. Open Daily 7am-5pm.

‘Fell Boy’ might make you think of a kid who fell into some weird hole, but here, it’s more like a cosy little hideout that feels calm and comforting. That’s exactly the vibe of this tucked-away cafe just off Rama 2 Road. Honestly, we’re probably all a bit like that ‘fell boy’, sneaking away to find some chill time. Outside, a lush tropical garden bursts with greenery, creating a contrast to the dry concrete jungle beyond. Inside, warm wood tones and mid-century furniture set a soft, inviting mood. Huge windows frame a small garden nook, blurring the line between indoors and out. Coffee-wise, the cafe keeps it local with Thai beans roasted by Midsummer, offering both light and medium roasts. But if you’re not a coffee fan, their ceremonial-grade matcha is a standout, especially yame clear matcha, which has subtle smokey notes that linger perfectly.

Address: 100, 16, Rama II Rd, Bang Nam Chuet, Mueang Samut Sakhon. 098-283- 0885. Open Mon 8.30am-4pm, Wed-Fri 8.30am-4pm, Sat-Sun 9.30am-5pm. Closed Tue

If you’re exploring the old town, this coffee stop is one of the prettiest perches on the canal. Piccolo Vicolo brings a clean, contemporary pulse to Wang Burapha without losing the old‑town mood. Three adjoining, four‑storey shophouses by Khlong Ong Ang – once a machine storage site – now read as a calm, community‑minded hideout where the original structure meets lush greenery. The layout is smart: a coffee-and-pastry bar with indoor and outdoor seating on the first floor; a library‑like co‑working room on the second floor; an open, plant‑filled terrace with city views on the third; and a surprise on fourth floor – a private‑suite stay called Poco House. The concept leans ‘Discovery & Treasuring,’ preserving original structure while softening it with greenery and quiet corners. The menu suits slow sessions: specialty coffee alongside matcha, sodas and light brunch. Don’t miss the Matcha Coconut or the house Raspberry Soda – both crowd highlights – plus cakes and tarts for the sweet tooth. Expect a friendly price bracket, friendly service and plenty of power plugs for lingering visits.

Address: 775 Maha Chai Rd, Wang Burapha Phirom, Phra Nakhon. 02-128-0802. Open Wed-Mon 9am-6pm. Closed Tue

Nestled within a quiet corner of Ekkamai 21, Cuckoo & Friends might just be your new favourite cafeteria. It feels less like a coffee shop and more like stepping into a friend’s retro-styled living room – complete with warm orange lighting, nostalgic decor and a comforting sense of familiarity.

The space is designed to feel like home – one corner is filled with mismatched vintage furniture, analogue knick-knacks and a playlist that leans into mellow moods. It’s a cosy spot to sip on a cup of coffee, tuck into a home-cooked dish or simply linger over slow conversations.

Address: Ekkamai 21 Alley. 062-832-8249. Open Fri–Wed 8.30am–5pm. Closed Thu.

Tucked quietly into a neighbourhood that doesn’t shout for attention, this cafe is the kind you find once and return to without thinking. The space is all soft whites and stillness, interrupted only by the low hum of a roaster near the entrance. Beans are roasted on-site – blends, single origins, whatever the day calls for – and there’s even an open-door policy for those curious about flavour-profiling or looking to roast their own. Despite its specialty leanings, prices lean gentle: an americano starts at B60, and even an Ethiopian pour, bright with berry, stays within reach. Upstairs, the mood shifts into something more expansive – a co-working floor that doubles as a low-key event space. Hidden in one corner is a fabric shop, quiet and unexpected, like a secret stitched into the building.

Address: 206 208 Yaowarat Rd, Chakkrawat, Samphanthawong. 062-886-6515. Open daily 7am-6pm

Set at the end of a quiet soi, Leek Coffee feels more like stepping into someone’s calm weekend morning than a commercial cafe. The kind of place where the clock moves slower and your coffee feels like it was made with actual thought. The space is warm and soft-edged – wooden chairs that don’t look like they came from a catalogue, sunlight filtering through sheer curtains, and a counter stocked with cakes that lean homemade in the best way. The true heart of the space is how naturally it all fits – not minimalist for the sake of it, but perfectly harmonious and just enough. There’s orange coffee that balances bitter and bright, basque cheesecake that doesn’t need to be dressed up, and expect regulars who seem to know exactly what they came for. 

Address: 301/25 Soi Pridi Banomyong 42, Khlong Tan Nuea. 093-278-0881. Open Mon-Sat 8am-5pm. Closed Sun.

On Soi Ngam Duphli, where the past lingers in low-rise buildings and tangled wires, a new collaboration has appeared between UNFINISHED Coffee Roaster of Wang Hin and PEPE Bangkok from Sukhumvit. The house they share looks as if someone stopped midway through building it – a brutalist shell, bare concrete and awkward lines left to weather – yet the effect is deliberate. Inside, the same offbeat energy continues, a patchwork of chairs and tables, nothing quite matching but everything seeming to belong. The menu leans Australian in spirit: brunch with a wanderer’s passport, folded through with techniques borrowed from elsewhere. Coffee takes centre stage with two blends, one nutty, one fruity, while for those avoiding caffeine there are thick smoothies and sticky s’mores concoctions that make a morning feel like a holiday.

Address: 8 Ngam Duphli Alley, Thung Maha Mek, Sathon. 082-664-7191. Open daily 8am-5pm

Tucked inside Clix mall, the Double Slash is more like a coffee workshop than a cafe. The space feels like a quiet duet of wood and concrete, with a sleek black marble bar dividing slow brew from special curated espresso. Through glass, you get a backstage pass to the roastery and pastry kitchen – a front row seat to one of the most anticipated cafes of 2025. At the heart of it all is Vee, the owner who won Thailand’s National Barista Champion in 2023. He moved from a cramped Rama 3 spot with one goal – to create a place where every detail works in harmony, so with that in mind pull up a seat as this could become your next go-to coffee shop.

Address: CLIX Rama 2 Community Mall, Soi 54 Lane 4, Bang Khun Thian. Open Daily 7.30am-5pm.

When it comes to turning old spaces into something special, Craftsman Roastery knows exactly what they’re doing. After charming Bangkok with locations such as Baan Ajarn Farang and the Bamrung Nukulkij Printing House branch, the team is now back on Bamrung Muang Road, bringing new life to a century-old Sino-Portuguese shophouse. From the outside, the building still wears its history proudly, but step inside and you’ll find a space filled with warmth, thoughtful design, and the comforting scent of coffee in the air. The menu here leans into their signature blends, including wrench wood blend, which carries rich, rum-raisin notes that linger just long enough, and the single-origin huai khun phar village, a lighter roast with soft, berry-like acidity. And while coffee is clearly the star, don’t overlook freshly baked pies – golden, buttery, and just sweet enough to make you consider a second slice.

Address: 23 Bamrung Mueang Rd, San Chao Pho Sua, Phra Nakhon. 064-808-5262. Open Daily 7.30am-5pm 

In the restless sprawl around Victory Monument, where buses coil in on themselves and pavements seem permanently mid-step, a small cafe has taken root. It doesn’t try to compete with the noise outside; instead it slows everything down. The menu features two signature blends from Port Coffee: ‘giant’, a mellow mix of beans from Brazil and Laos, and ‘little’, a lighter, Ethiopia-forward blend. Both are brewed with noticeable patience and meticulous care. Behind the counter, trays of cakes and loaves cool on racks, and their smell drifts out each time the door swings open. It’s the sort of place made for a pause, for staring out of the window with nothing in your hands but a warm cup and the brief possibility of stillness.

Address: 452/2 Ratchawithi Rd, Thanon Phaya Thai, Ratchathewi. 062-563-0694. Open Mon-Fri 7am-4.30pm, Sat-Sun 7.30am-5pm

In Ekkamai, a district that has long practised the art of looking unbothered, a new community space has slipped in without fanfare, rearranging the atmosphere in the process. It stands on a patch of ground already busy with cafes, wine rooms and shops that deal in pens as if they were jewellery. The structure itself is all clarity – confident angles, open spans – but inside the air softens. Low-lit corners appear ready for long afternoons, while furniture feels chosen rather than bought, each piece placed with intent rather than instinct. There’s a sense of lingering here, a pace that resists Bangkok’s usual sprint, where you can watch the light crawl across the floor and feel, just for a moment, that staying put counts as an activity.

Address: 38 Charoen Chai Alley, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana. 082-925-6365. Open daily 7.30am-6pm

If you’re after a spot that feels like grabbing coffee at a friend’s place, this is it. Tucked away in a quiet corner of Bang Khun Non, a small bunch of creative folks turned an old shophouse into a cosy little community space with all kinds of cool stuff – vintage clothes, retro furniture, good food and this chill cafe. The name, Table Talk Cafe, pretty much sums it up. It’s meant to feel laid-back and welcoming, like you’re just swinging by your friend’s for a catch-up. Only this friend happens to roast their own beans, so expect some interesting single-origin options such as congo and uganda. The vibe is all vintage charm, and the moment Chet Baker comes on in the background, you’re hooked. 

Address: 629/67, Charan Sanit Wong Rd, Bang Khun Non, Bangkok Noi. 081-982-8289. Open Mon-Tue & Fri 10am-8pm, Sat-Sun 9am-9pm. Closed Wed-Thu

Long loved for blending cafe culture with fashion, WWA's new spot in Hua Lamphong – feels a little calmer and more polished. The space is all clean lines and soft light, with floor-to-ceiling glass panels that let sunshine pour in from every direction. The drinks are the headline here. True to its name, World Wide Arabica brings together beans from local growers and international roasters – think Doi Chang, Pang Khon, Ethiopia, Brazil – with a barista ready to hook you up whether you want a silky drip or a bold iced Americano. Foodwise, it’s a thoughtful mix of light and hearty – fresh house bread, rich brownie and kimchi fried rice that feels like a warm, nostalgic hug.

Address: 318 Maha Phruettharam Rd, Khwaeng Maha Phruttharam, Khet Bang Rak. 02-266-4116. Open Daily 8.30am-10.30pm.

With its ‘simpler, better’ philosophy, the Edspaze Café is a masterclass in modern minimalism. Expect whitewashed walls, clean architectural lines, and a gleaming stainless-steel coffee bar that anchors the space – ideal if you’re after a chill yet refined spot. Seating downstairs is cosy, and the second floor doubles as a productive co‑working or meeting space. Coffee is taken seriously here. Every drink is brewed using single origin beans, with roasting and brewing methods tailored in-house. Try filter coffee made with Colombia Rose Valley beans for juicy berry notes. Edspaze pours single‑origin Brazil espresso straight over their in-house chilled milk – clean, bold contrast between hot coffee and cold milk.

Don’t leave without trying the Melted Cheesecake, a dessert that took four years to perfect. Made with Madagascar vanilla and crafted over 36 hours, it delivers a melt-in-the-mouth texture somewhere between ice cream and cheesecake.

Address: 5 Ratchaphruek Rd, Bang Ramat, Taling Chan. 083-935-3555. Open Daily 7am-6.30pm

Hidden in a quiet corner of the city, this serene spot opens its doors early, welcoming morning people, pet lovers and anyone who appreciates a slower, greener way of life.

The space is bright, breezy and bathed in natural light, with minimalist decor that leans on wood tones, plants and upcycled elements. Everything here follows a strong eco-conscious ethos with no plastic cups or straws in sight, waste bins for easy sorting placed around the cafe and solar panels powering parts of the space.

Besides the good vibes, the menu is just as thoughtful. Expect wholesome brunch plates, fresh bakes, plant-based options and locally sourced coffee served in reusable cups. Four-legged friends are more than welcome, too.

Address: My Paws Backyard, Ram Intra 34 Alley. 065-989-9242. Open Mon–Fri 8.30am–6.30pm, Sat–Sun 9am–7pm. Closed Mon.

Slip into Lie Awake, the black-cat-branded cafe somehow feels more boutique than a gas station. Its Bauhaus-style wood-and-white interiors lean minimalist yet inviting, complete with a sleepy black cat mascot that seems to supervise every coffee pour. Rather than generic roast levels, Lie Awake offers five thoughtfully named single-origin blends – think Keep You Awake for a punchy dark roast, or Dandelions for something floral and bright. Names that actually tell you what to expect. The sweet side skews Japanese‑inspired – tiramisu and matcha pudding show up regularly, with a lighter touch on sugar and a focus on creamy textures. Come hungry at lunch: the team also turns out Neapolitan‑style pizzas with a chewy crust and concise topping list – mushroom, Parma ham, or salami – a smart use of overlapping baking ingredients to minimise food waste. 

Address: 207 Phet Kasem Rd, Pak Khlong Phasi Charoen, Phasi Charoen. 098-190-9555. Open Daily 7am-7pm

Mansion in Copenh brings a warm slice of mid‑century Copenhagen to Nak Niwat 37. Located on the third floor, the space unites high ceilings, wood textures, and carefully mixed shades of colour-block furniture that feel both curated and effortlessly chic. It’s both calming and homey – designed to evoke a 1960s modern apartment, with a subtle nod to Copenhagen’s clean, unfussy aesthetic that’s been winning over Gen Z moodboards everywhere. The room rewards slow sessions: there’s even a cosy loft corner where guests can cue up vinyl records, and the elevated site keeps sightlines open for relaxed people‑watching. The cafe’s drink menu offers a thoughtful balance of classic and inventive. Highlights include iced blueberry coffee, which delivers a bright, citrus-forward profile, and cream cheese tea, known for its smooth texture and distinctive aroma – rich, slightly savoury and deeply fragrant. Ssignature cheesecake at Mansion in Copenh is a refined take on the burnt Basque-style classic – with a deeply caramelized top and a smooth, custard-like centre, baked at high heat for a golden crackle.

Address: 3/F, 13 Soi Nak Niwat 37 Yaek 1, Lat Phrao. 097-289-4422. Open Mon-Fri 8am-5pm & Sat-Sun 8.30am-6.30pm

Sathorn just got a little cooler with the arrival of Two Hands Coffee, a newly opened cafe located inside BLOQyard. You’ll spot it instantly by its standout blue brick-shaped facade – a bold, eye-catching design that sets the tone for what’s inside.

The space leans into clean, minimal aesthetics with thoughtful touches that blend form and function. Coffee lovers will particularly appreciate  Thai–Brazil medium roast and Sirinya Amarone medium-light roast.

Address: BLOQyard. 061-596-2466 Open Mon–Sat 7am–6pm. Closed Sun.

Down a quiet stretch of Ladprao, a once-forgotten house has been given another purpose. From the street it looks unassuming, the kind of place you might pass without a glance, but step inside and the whole thing unfolds like a private mixtape. Shelves bow slightly under the weight of cassette tapes and vinyl sleeves, record players line a corner waiting for someone to lift the needle. There’s a listening room where anyone can claim a turn at choosing what spins, and a handful of rehearsal spaces that seem to hum even when no one’s inside. Mid-century chairs and worn wooden floors make it feel more like a living room than a venue. At the door, Klookklik, a dog with impeccable manners, acts as host, tail always in motion.

Address: 12 Phuttha Raksa Alley, Lat Phrao. 092-687-1912. Open Thu-Tue 10am-7pm, closed Wed

Patchworks BKK has relaunched in Charansanitwong as a striking fusion of raw brutalist architecture and refined French patisserie. The building – expanded into two floors and designed by party/space/design (p/s/d) – now wraps concrete and geometric forms in subtle steampunk accents. It’s a bold yet elegant backdrop for quality desserts. Pastries here are described as fine patisserie – a balance of visual impact and technical finesse, using premium ingredients and French technique. Creative dessert lovers should note rotating seasonal lines, with past features like matcha vanilla Christmas tree mousse and intricate rasp ruby rose, built on layers of lychee, raspberry, rose, and a classic ispahan spirit. New to the concept is an all-day brunch menu, designed to be accessible yet polished. Coffee has expanded too, with options across medium dark to light roasts, plus a slow bar highlighting rotating single origins throughout the year.

Address: 293, 2 Charan Sanit Wong Rd, Bang O, Bang Phlat. 089-811-1622. Open daily 8am-7pm

In this cafe, the curves do all the talking and they’re saying, ‘Welcome’.  Every line, surface and shadow feels like it’s part of a perfectly choreographed dance, all swaying in sync to the rhythm of calm. True to its name, the design is all about the curves – sweeping, looping and curling from exterior to interior with serene confidence. The visionary behind the space is Bangkok-based @unknownsurfacestudio, who has turned architecture into poetry. The structure unfolds with petal-like shapes that nod to nature, while the inside lifts your gaze skyward with vertical lines and a luminous skylight that brings just the right amount of drama.
