Casa Lapin

From humble origins as a rabbit-hole-sized nook on Thonglor, the oh-so-trendy Casa Lapin has steadily been one of Bangkok’s favorite coffee shops and has shown no signs of slowing down. The all-day breakfast menu offers crowd-pleasers like the sourdough croque madame (B240), syrup-drenched French toast with berries (B280), and a Nutella lava croissant (B240) with a perfectly crispy outside and chocolate sauce. Coffee options include drip (which we highly recommend,  starts from B150) and Aeropress.

CPS Coffee

With three branches across ICONSIAM, Terminal 21, and CentralFestival Eastville, CPS Coffee has cut out a niche among the trendy shopping crowd. The cafe presides over coffee made of two signature bean collections blended specifically for CPS Coffee: Copper Stout and Amber Ale, tea blends (left to infuse for up to 12 hours), and a respectable selection of fresh and light croissants to give you a bit of energy before hitting the shops. We like the classic butter version (B110) whose texture leans to the dense side and goes well with the piccolo latte (B100).

M/F, Terminal 21, Sukhumvit Rd., 063-494-4036. Open Mon-Fri 6am-9pm; Sat-Sun 8am-9pm. BTS Asoke

Kenn’s Coffee & Croissant

Try the chocolate croissant (B70) filled with imported French dark chocolate, or the smoked ham and cheese croissant (B105) whose the crisp skin goes well with the salty hint from housemade smoked ham. Non-caffeine options include iced chocolate (B85) with tender flavor and just the right amount of sweetness.
