10 Popular Cafés in Bangkapi

If you're a butter person who hasn't been to Amatissimo Caffè yet, make time to stop by. This French-butter-croissant café has been going since 2012, back when croissants weren't yet a trend here. It started behind Paradise Park before settling into Soi A6 in Sammakorn Village, Ramkhamhaeng 112. People around Bangkapi and Sammakorn know it well as a European-style bakery where the food genuinely delivers and the owner is warm and easygoing. It suits café-goers who want a morning coffee with a hot-out-of-the-oven croissant, and anyone hunting for craft bakes made fresh in small batches to serve at their crispest.

The must-order is the French Butter Croissant, made with fine Normandy butter — full of buttery aroma, crisp outside and soft within. Many reviews agree the layers are plentiful, pulling apart in strands. Just as famous is the Monkey Croissant, glazed with brown sugar and available in cappuccino and chocolate-chili versions. For coffee lovers, try the Dirty and rich chocolate drinks like The OG, which reviews describe as bold and heavy. There are also egg tarts served warm and crisp, plus croissants with unusual fillings like Chinese sausage and salted egg to work your way through.

The room is minimal in black and white, comfortable to sit in with strong air-con, a fair number of seats, and it's pet-friendly with free Wi-Fi and credit cards accepted. Prices sit slightly on the premium side — butter croissants around 85–120 THB, specialty drinks 150–200 THB. Many say it's pricey but good enough to justify. Open Tuesday–Sunday 07:00–17:00, closed Mondays. Its Google rating is 4.7 from a few hundred reviews.

Worth knowing: the shop is inside a village and parking is fairly limited, especially on busy weekends — only a few spots in front and along the lane, so take care not to block residents' driveways. Popular croissants often sell out fast because they're baked in small batches, so if you want the best ones, come in the morning or call ahead to be sure.

If you're around Bangkapi–Lumsalee and want a relaxed, stylish café a short walk from the MRT Yellow Line's Lumsalee station, De Whaeng Lumsalee is a stop you shouldn't miss. It's an old building given a fresh renovation, with bare-concrete walls mixed with orange brick and greenery and flowers all around, giving it the feel of a small café in Europe or Vietnam. Inside it's two floors, warm and vintage, with red-and-white checked tablecloths and lovely natural light. From the window seats you can even watch the trains pass. It works well for photographers, people who want a quiet spot to work, and couples looking for a chill corner close to home.

The most talked-about item is the tiramisu, baked fresh in-house, fragrant with coffee and not too sweet, followed by the lemon scone (around 95 THB), served with butter cake, jam, and clotted cream that balance each other nicely. For drinks, try the Matcha Latte (around 140 THB), which reviews consistently describe as rich and fragrant, not overly sweet, and refreshing — with Strawberry Matcha and low-sugar Cocoa Strawberry versions too. Coffee lovers can go for the Coconut Coffee, which uses a block of coconut water slowly melting into an americano shot, and the oat-milk latte that many call smooth. Homemade bakes like brownies, chocolate-chip cookies, and cakes are all made in-house.

The price per person runs around 101–250 THB, reasonable for the quality and the setting. Staff earn praise for friendly, attentive service. What made the café take off so quickly is its location right by the station and a mood that photographs well from every angle — which is why it's become a new café that people from the Ramkhamhaeng–Seri Thai zone keep checking in at.

Worth knowing before you go: the café is fairly new, so hours may shift a little. Generally it opens Monday–Friday around 10:00–18:00 and Saturday–Sunday earlier, around 09:00, closing around six in the evening. If you plan to come late, allow extra time, and on busy weekends, coming before noon gets you the pretty corners more comfortably. Parking is available near Suan Santi Suk in Soi Lat Phrao 91, or the train is the easiest option.

Brown Burgundy is a two-story home café in Rama 9 Soi 29 (on the Huai Khwang–Bangkapi border), renovated from an old house into a mid-century vintage style. The name plays on "Brown" for the color of coffee and "Burgundy" for the color of wine — because by day it's a café, and come evening it transforms into a wine bar serving hand-picked natural wine. It suits café-goers who like to sit and unwind, take photos, or bring a laptop to work — especially the second floor, which reviews agree is quieter and more comfortable. It's also pet-friendly, with leash hooks at the tables, non-slip flooring, and dogs welcome in both the air-conditioned and garden zones.

The most-mentioned menu item is the Grapefruit Yuzu Coffee (around 160 THB), a coffee scented with yuzu and grapefruit, refreshing with just the right tartness; the Matcha Latte, a must for matcha fans; and homemade sweets like the Banana Bread Miso Caramel (around 150 THB), which a Wongnai review praised as "a very dense bread with a rich caramel aroma." The Yuzu Rare Cheesecake (around 150 THB) was described as "soft, fine, pudding-like cheesecake with a nice tart note," and there's Carrot Cake to try too. For those wanting food, there's brunch like Calamari and Burrata Salad, plus heartier plates like sea bass (which climb into the several-hundreds).

The atmosphere is a real selling point — several reviews say it "feels more like sitting at a friend's house than a café," with an air-conditioned indoor zone and a green garden zone, lots of photo corners, and lovely natural light. Most prices fall in the 101–300 THB per person range, with Visa/Mastercard/Amex/JCB accepted, and parking for around 4–5 cars out front. Its Wongnai rating is 4.2 from 105 reviews, with a fairly even split of couples and groups of friends.

Worth knowing: hours are roughly Monday–Thursday 09:00–19:00, while Friday–Sunday it stays open until around 21:00 (evenings lean into food-and-wine mode). Hours can shift, so it's best to check the page before you go. The location is on a quiet lane; coming from the Bangkapi side (The Mall Bangkapi / Lumsalee intersection / MRT Yellow Line), it's not a long drive. Good for a late-morning meal and a long coffee, or an evening stop for a light glass of wine.

Sol Bar & Bistro is a small second-floor café on Hua Mak Soi 12 in Bangkapi District that locals and coffee lovers pass along word of for its signature iced orange coffee. It's done up simply in orange and black, with a reading corner and work tables. By day it's a café, and on Friday and Saturday evenings it turns into a bar showcasing community spirits and Thai craft beer. It suits anyone who wants to sit quietly over a coffee, get some work done, or drop by to try the standout menu.

The must-order is the iced orange coffee, the shop's signature — a medium-dark espresso blended with fresh-squeezed orange juice. Real reviews describe it as bold with a well-balanced sweet-and-sour note, refreshing and good at cutting richness. Another much-talked-about drink is Cha Boek Net, a special-recipe tea with a bold, well-rounded southern-tea aroma. For non-coffee drinkers there's a refreshing sweet-sour Strawberry Soda and a rich Matcha — many reviews agree the flavors are good and clearly distinct.

What people love is how friendly the prices are — drinks start at 45 THB, with the standouts around 90–100 THB, averaging under a hundred per head. The second-floor space is open and airy, with an open-air balcony to catch the breeze and big glass windows that look out onto the MRT Yellow Line trains passing by — a photo corner people take to. It's easy to get to, near the MRT Yellow Line, with parking across the street.

Worth knowing: the café is open through the day from around 9am into the evening, and closed on Sundays. Hours can shift by season, so checking the shop's page first is safer. When a new menu item is trending, some ingredients can sell out fast. If you want a window seat or the balcony, come in the morning or early afternoon before it fills up.

Ask the Sammakorn–Ramkhamhaeng crowd for their neighborhood café and many will nod straight to "Bod Kod Chong." The shop is in Sammakorn Village Soi 20, facing directly onto the lake. It's a white-toned building draped in green climbing plants across the front — fresh and easy on the eye, the kind of place reviews like to call "just like sitting at a friend's house." It suits anyone after a quiet corner to sip coffee, read, or spread out a laptop for a long work session, with cold air-con, soft music, and plugs at the tables. Seating is split between an air-conditioned room and an outdoor waterside area.

The most-mentioned items are Reve vert, the shop's signature drink; a refreshing iced butterbeer; and the true star — homemade scones made fresh every day and baked buttery-fragrant. There's also the coffee, which reviews praise as bold enough for genuine coffee drinkers, from americano to latte and cappuccino, along with a rotating selection of cakes and bakes like tiramisu, double chocolate, dark-beer cake, and carrot cake. Sweet-tooths rarely leave disappointed.

Prices are middle-of-the-road and easy to reach — coffee and drinks start around 50–105 THB, scones around 75 THB, and special cake slices climb to about 195 THB, averaging roughly 100–250 THB per person. On Wongnai the shop scores 4.1 from around 50 reviewers, most praising the atmosphere, the sweets, and the quiet that makes it good for working. Staff are friendly and happy to recommend the menu.

Open daily from morning to evening (around 07:00–18:00, some days closing at 17:00). Come in the morning or late afternoon for the best light and fewer people. The one thing to know is that parking in the lane is limited — you'll have to park roadside or find a spot in a nearby lane, so allow a little extra time if you drive. But once you're seated by the lake, it's worth the effort to find parking.

addict.co (ADDICT.Coffee) is a small home café tucked into Soi Si Burapha 10 in Bangkapi — a short ride from the Lumsalee intersection station on the MRT Yellow Line. Its selling point is a whole old house done up in Mid-Century Modern style: curved chairs, vintage lamps, wooden furniture, vinyl records, and old home décor curated from the vintage shop next door, giving it more of a friend's-house feel than a typical café. It suits serious coffee drinkers who want to settle in, photo-corner fans, and people around Khlong Chan–Seri Thai–NIDA looking for a quiet morning seat.

The must-try is the pour over / slow bar coffee, with beans roasted in-house — from medium-roast Brazil Santos to bold-roast Thai arabica-robusta, plus a rotating selection of special beans. If you're not into black coffee, there's Matcha Latte and an orange americano to try. On the food side, it's simple brunch and homemade bakes, with the bagel-and-cream-cheese paired with a latte being a combo customers mention often.

Most reviews praise the coffee as bold, clearly aromatic, and full of character — some say it's strong enough that you have to drink it with intent, making this a spot for lovers of bold coffee rather than smooth-and-sweet. The bakes are good, service is warm and attentive, and the morning natural light is pretty enough to photograph from every angle — there's even a resident cat to welcome you. Prices sit in the $$ range (around 101–250 THB), with drinks starting at 70–80 THB, which is easy on the wallet.

Open daily 07:00–17:00 (delivery via Grab and Lineman around 07:30–16:30). Worth knowing: seating is limited to around 10 spots, and weekend mornings get busy. Parking is roadside in the lane, so arriving early gets you the nice corners and a comfortable seat.

If you collect Art Toys and want a café where you can sip coffee while browsing display cases of rare figures, Ric Cafe & Art Toys in the Seri Thai area is a spot to pin. It opened in mid-2024 and quickly became a check-in point for people around Bangkapi–Khan Na Yao. The concept is crystal clear: a full-on Art Toy-themed café, packed from the storefront to the interior with collectibles — Farmer Bob in sizes from tiny to giant, Labubu, Dimoo, Molly, CryBaby, Rico, all the way to rare collabs like Instinctoy X Farmer Bob. It suits anyone who wants cute photo corners, or to bring friends or kids to hang out.

The gimmick that makes this café more fun than most is the "blind-box claw machine": spend 100 THB on drinks and snacks and you get one free claw token. New customers usually get a first-cup discount and a bonus claw token to try. It's a little entertainment while you sit that many people get hooked on. The drinks menu is varied — coffee, matcha, smoothies, fruit sodas (strawberry, apple, lychee) — and on the sweet side there are cakes, soft-topped mousses, and ice cream.

On taste, real reviews lean positive. Many praise the drinks as well balanced, and the cakes and sweets get compliments for being smoothly flavored and good-looking. Some reviews note the americano is fairly weak, not very bold, and rate the ice cream and cakes as more worth ordering than the coffee. If you like strong coffee, you may want to add a shot. Prices per glass run around 60–120 THB, friendly for a café that offers atmosphere and toys to grab. Many reviews say the staff are friendly and recommend the menu well, and there's parking out front.

The location is on Seri Thai Road, just past Soi Seri Thai 71, near the Bangkok Boulevard (Khan Na Yao) development — not far from The Mall Bangkapi or the Lumsalee intersection. Open 9:00–19:30, closed Wednesdays. Worth knowing: the café isn't very big and gets crowded on weekends, so if you want good light for easy photos, come in the morning to early afternoon for more open corners.

Loop Coffee is a specialty-coffee café that recently opened in Bangkapi, planted at the top of Nawamin Soi 30, near the Bangkapi intersection on the Khlong Chan side. If you're circling for a café around The Mall Bangkapi or the MRT Yellow Line and want a proper seat with coffee that's brewed with care, this one is very much for you. The space is loft-style with grey bare-concrete walls, dotted with large potted plants, a bookshelf, and a record player playing softly. Behind the bar sits a big stainless machine that pulls the coffee out genuinely bold. It works for both those who come to sit and photograph and those who want to settle in for a long work session.

The most-ordered item is the iced latte — nicely bold and sweet, easy to drink. Green-tea fans shouldn't miss the Matcha Yuzu; real reviews say the yuzu cuts the matcha's intensity just right, without astringency or cloying sweetness. Another much-talked-about drink is Matcha Coconut. Bold-coffee lovers can order a single-origin drip — the shop is serious enough to have bean-info cards to read before you order. On the food side the bakes are worth a try, especially the shio pan, soft and buttery with a salty-savory edge that pairs well with coffee, along with croissants, pain au chocolat, and rotating fruit danishes.

Most prices run around 80–140 THB per glass, good value for specialty coffee in this area. Reviews praise the good coffee, the owner's friendly service and genuinely helpful recommendations, and a room that doesn't feel cramped — there's a mezzanine second floor that's quiet and private, ideal for opening a laptop or reading for a while. A point many love is the parking behind the shop, which is hard to come by in traffic-heavy Bangkapi.

Worth knowing: open Monday–Friday 08:00–16:00 and Saturday–Sunday 09:00–17:00, closed Wednesdays. It's still a new shop, so the menu and hours may adjust — check the IG page @loopcoffee.th before you go to be sure. It's easy to reach from the Bangkapi intersection, Seri Thai, and the MRT Yellow Line's Bangkapi/Lumsalee stations — a good coffee stop before or after walking The Mall Bangkapi.

Bones Design Studio & Cafe is a café tucked inside the furniture-design showroom of the brand Bones, at the end of Soi Yothin Phatthana 3 next to the Ram Inthra expressway service road, around Khlong Chan, Bangkapi. The selling point is that everything in the shop — from the coffee bar to the tables, chairs, and décor — comes from the studio's own designs. Walk in and it feels more like an interior showroom than a typical café. Anyone who loves minimalist Scandinavian style, bare-concrete walls, warm brown-and-beige tones, and lots of natural light will be right at home, and it suits people who want pretty photo corners while browsing real furniture at the same time.

The standout items reviews mention often are the coffee, where you can choose the bean character, and the Matcha Series, which many describe as fragrant, smooth, and well rounded — a must for matcha fans. On the bakery side there are croissants, muffins, and scones, plus signature drinks like Brown Cloud (coffee with homemade syrup and milk foam) and Black Yuzu, which brings an espresso shot together with yuzu. If you want something refreshing, try the strawberry-peach soda, which reviews praise as nicely sweet with real fruit fragrance. Prices start easy on the wallet — americano 90 THB, latte 100 THB, with specialty drinks and filled croissants climbing to the 120–180 THB range, averaging just over a hundred per person.

The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, not just a fashion café built for photos alone — high ceilings and big glass windows catch the light, especially pretty in late morning. The second floor has a gallery zone to browse and buy furniture to take home. The shop is pet-friendly with parking out front. Its concept is "Everyday Coffee for Everyone" — easy-drinking daily coffee, not made solely to please the specialty crowd.

Worth knowing before you go: the shop is closed Mondays, open Tuesday–Friday 07:30–16:30 and Saturday–Sunday 08:30–17:30. Some reviews found the croissants served un-warmed and the interiors a touch dry — if you want them crisp, ask staff to warm them first. The shop is fairly deep down the lane, so pinning it on Google Maps is the easiest way to find it. Overall it's a café gaining popularity in this area because it combines good coffee, fine design, and photo corners all in one place.

Khao Man Baan Nok Café is a farm-café in the middle of the city in Soi Ramkhamhaeng 125/1, in the Hua Mak–Bangkapi area, bringing a Khao Yai countryside mood close to city dwellers. It's the second home of "Baan Nok Khok Na Khao Yai," run by Khun Tui Sarisa Kettong together with Khun Ple Venus Meewan, owner of the Tam Laek Baan Nok restaurant. The highlight is the clear split into two zones — a café zone and a restaurant zone — with a big rain tree as the centerpiece giving shade all day, pesticide-free vegetable plots the owners grow themselves, and wooden walkways laid out to feel like you're really strolling through the countryside. It suits people who want to sit, relax and take photos, coming with family or a group of friends on a day off.

The restaurant side has main dishes to fill you up, from khao man gai to khanom jin with sea-bass curry served as a set with boiled egg and vegetable sides, all the way to thin-crust pepperoni pizza, bacon-ham-cheese shokupan with the shop's own homemade bread, and a German sausage set. The café side is the star for drinks and sweets — hot latte, Thai tea, coconut americano, plus cakes like butterfly-pea coconut cake, mixed-fruit cheesecake, strawberry crepe cake, and a blended strawberry yogurt. Many reviews agree the drinks are made low-sugar and easy to drink, and the cakes are soft and tasty.

Prices sit in the mid-range — drinks start around 95 THB, food from around 120 THB, cakes 150–165 THB a slice, averaging out to easier on the wallet than many photo-focused cafés. The location is in Soi Ramkhamhaeng 125/1, Hua Mak, Bangkapi, easy to reach from The Mall Bangkapi, the Lumsalee intersection, and the MRT Yellow Line's Bangkapi/Lumsalee stations. There's parking, free Wi-Fi, pets are welcome, and credit cards are accepted. The café zone is open daily 08:00–20:00, while the restaurant zone opens later, around 10:00–22:00.

People talk about it a lot because it gives you a nature-getaway feel without driving out of town — a shady, relaxed setting with so many photo corners that many say they can't decide. If you plan to sit for a long stretch, come in the morning or before midday when the sun isn't strong and it's not crowded. Weekends get fairly busy, so allow extra time to pick a nice corner at your leisure.
