Juitee

What is it? Southern Thai desserts don't get nearly enough credit in Bangkok's sweet scene, which is part of what makes Juitee so very welcome. A sibling-run cafe that started in Phuket and brought its best ideas north, Juitee's Bangkok outpost sits inside the Corner House – a converted old building in Charoenkrung – and serves a menu of contemporary and rare southern Thai sweets.

Why we love it:  The standout for shaved ice lovers is the o-eaw: a Phuket staple built around the bouncy, almost gelatinous jelly extracted from the seeds of creeping figs, served with shaved ice, red syrup and a tumble of tropical fruit. Juitee's o-eaw is a tropical iteration – peach, pineapple and mango alongside the classic. 

Time Out tip: Start with the tropical versions, then stay for a tao sor bun and a coffee. There’s also the o-eaw Charoen Krung – a localised take that swaps in ingredients found around the neighbourhood the cafe calls home.
