10 Popular Cafes
in Ha Yaek Lat Phrao

Ratio Coffee Relation is a small two-floor specialty coffee cafe right at the mouth of Lat Phrao Soi 19, inside the Move Amaze building, about 100 metres from MRT Lat Phrao Exit 4. The shop is a clear glass box set against black steel-framed walls, so you can see the coffee bar clearly from outside. It suits coffee lovers who want to try several different beans, and people around Central Ladprao–Ha Yaek Lat Phrao looking for a quiet place to work over good coffee near the train.

The real draw is the coffee, split between a speed bar and a slow bar, with a rotating selection of beans from both Thai and overseas roasters. Popular orders include the Dirty (~125 baht), a strong shot poured over cold milk, plus Sprinting Spirit and Orangano from the signature orange-infused coffee line. If you don't drink coffee there's matcha and tea, and importantly there's all-day brunch and daily house-baked pastries to go with it. Most reviews praise how carefully the coffee is made, how happily the baristas talk beans, and how the prices are friendly compared with specialty cafes in general.

The vibe is small-scale, with limited seating, so it can get crowded on weekends or in the afternoon. If you want a relaxed seat upstairs, come in the morning or on a weekday. There's Wi-Fi for working. Most coffees run around 90–155 baht a cup; pair it with brunch and it's roughly 150–250 baht per person.

Good to know: the shop opens daily 07:30–18:00, closing fairly early for night owls, and because it's small the seats can fill up at peak times, so allow extra time if you plan to stay a while. Parking is limited since it's inside the building, but the upside is that it's just a short walk from MRT Lat Phrao — easiest to reach if you come by train.

GOOGMAN (sometimes written GoodMan) is a small food-truck-style cafe kiosk planted along Phahonyothin Road in the Chom Phon area of Chatuchak, just a few paces from BTS Ha Yaek Lat Phrao Exit 4 and MRT Phahonyothin Exit 3. It's ideal for anyone rushing to an office around Central Ladprao–Union Mall who wants to grab a good, well-priced cup of coffee to go. There isn't much seating (fewer than ten seats), so it's more for takeaway or a short break than settling in all day. The spot people photograph most is the lemon tree in the middle of the shop that the owner set up as a green little corner.

The menu item reviewers mention most is the iced cocoa, with one writing plainly, “The cocoa is really tasty, clean, and the owner is lovely too.” Matcha fans praise the iced matcha latte as “fragrant and just sweet enough,” not so sweet it stings your throat. There's also Thai tea at around 75 baht, matcha latte at around 85 baht, and an orange-coffee (Americano x Orange) that's tangy and cuts through the richness nicely. Overall it's quality coffee at gentle prices, mostly under a hundred baht.

The atmosphere is simple, airy and warm — nothing fancy — but it wins people over with the friendliness of the staff, whom many reviews call lovely, and with how clean the shop is. The real selling point is the location, right by the train. It opens early, from 6:30 a.m. through to around 6:00 p.m. daily, catching office-goers who want coffee just before work.

Good to know: it's a small kiosk with limited seating, so during the morning rush you may wait a little in line. If you want a long, relaxed seat, this isn't the place — but if you want an iced cocoa or matcha at a wallet-friendly price near the BTS, it's worth the stop. Delivery is available too (roughly 6:30–16:30).

Cabo's Cafe & Bistro is a two-floor Korean-style cafe-bakery right on the corner at the entrance to Lotus's Ha Yaek Lat Phrao, just a few minutes' walk from BTS Ha Yaek Lat Phrao (Exit 2) or MRT Phahonyothin (Exit 4). It suits cafe-goers wanting a chill corner between mall errands, people meeting friends in the afternoon, or anyone grabbing a baked treat before hopping on the train. The shop is bright in green-yellow-white tones, with plants, wooden shelves, wavy green glass, and round tables by the window where the light comes in beautifully almost all day — nearly every corner photographs well.

The item people mention most is the croissants baked fresh and displayed on the counter; several reviews say they're buttery and fragrant, crisp outside and soft inside, along with the Salt Butter Bread that balances salty and rich just right. The star dessert is the banoffee, served in a clear glass, dusted with cocoa powder and garnished with rosemary; people say the cream is silky and soft on the tongue, sweet enough without being cloying. Chocolate fans can try the chocolate cake, paired with an iced cocoa or iced matcha latte in the shop's branded glassware — it goes well with the baked goods.

Prices are friendly, with most drinks and treats around 60–200 baht. Cards accepted, delivery available, and you can park at Lotus's or Central Ladprao. One thing worth checking before you go: opening hours have been listed inconsistently in a few places (some sources say daily 08:30–18:30, others say closed Tuesdays), so check the shop's page before setting out. Overall it's a well-located cafe by the train, reasonably priced, with fragrant bakes and pretty photo spots — a popular stop in the Central Ladprao–Ha Yaek Lat Phrao area.

If you want a rooftop cafe with a full-on view without having to go up a soaring tower, Roof24 Coffee&Bar is the spot many people around Ha Yaek Lat Phrao–Phahonyothin think of first. It's tucked away in Phahonyothin Soi 24 Yaek 2, on the 4th-floor rooftop of a white building, opening out to the “Elephant Building” standing prominently in full frame. It suits anyone who wants to relax in the breeze, take photos, or open a laptop and work quietly in a minimal-loft atmosphere, with both an air-conditioned indoor zone and an open-air balcony zone.

The items reviewers mention most are the freshly baked pastries, especially the croffle (croissant-waffle hybrid) that's crisp outside and soft inside, and cakes like Red Velvet. On the drinks side there's coffee, fresh milk, and mint-and-pink-toned sweet drinks that photograph well, such as the Double Milk Matcha, plus craft sodas shipped straight from Chiang Mai in several flavours. Most visitors praise the iced coffee and say the atmosphere is worth the effort of getting there.

Prices are approachable — drinks and pastries roughly 50–120 baht, and an average per person of no more than the mid-hundreds. The Google score sits at around 4.8 from hundreds of reviews, reflecting how most people leave impressed by the view, the decor and the service. Late afternoon, when the sun softens toward sunset, is the busiest time because you get both pretty light and a city view.

Good to know before you go: the shop is on the 4th floor and involves a fair bit of stair-climbing (no lift, per reviews), and parking under the building is limited to about 3–5 cars. If you come by BTS to Ha Yaek Lat Phrao and then take a motorbike taxi or ride-hailing app into the soi it's most convenient. Per the shop's info it opens daily, Monday–Thursday 10:00–18:00 and Friday–Sunday running until 20:00 — check the shop's page before setting out so you don't miss it.

BAKEBURY Espresso Bar is a grey-and-white minimal-loft cafe tucked into Lat Phrao Soi 1, about 100 metres in behind Union Mall, an easy walk from MRT Phahonyothin Exit 5, with parking available (1 hour free with purchase). It bills itself as an espresso bar that roasts and brews its own coffee plus fresh-baked pastries, and it suits cafe-hoppers, people wanting a chill corner to work, or anyone stopping for a good coffee before heading into Central Ladprao.

The item people talk about most is the Iced Chocolate, which several reviews agree is “better than expected” — a deep, full cocoa flavour that isn't cloyingly sweet, so many crown it the shop's standout cup. Another to try is ES-YEN, the house-style iced espresso, and the Dalgona Candy Latte, which has a sweet candy on top that slowly melts into the glass. For black-coffee fans the Iced Americano is a medium roast with a slight tang. On the bakery side, the fresh-baked croissant and almond croissant stand out, and the cookies use French butter with no preservatives.

Prices are just right for a cafe in this area, with drinks and desserts averaging roughly the low hundreds per person (about 101–250 baht). The atmosphere is an airy grey-toned room with high ceilings and plenty of seating to spread out a laptop or sit and read. The Google score is 4.4 from hundreds of reviews, which is solid for a cafe in a soi, and people who've been usually say it's worth a repeat visit.

Good to know: it opens 07:00–18:00 daily — early enough to suit early risers who want a hot croissant. Weekends get fairly busy, so if you want a pretty photo spot or a quiet work table, come before noon, and don't forget to stamp your parking at the counter to claim the free hour.

If you're walking around Ha Yaek Lat Phrao, right across from Central Ladprao, and want somewhere to sip cold milk with fragrant buttered toast without going into a mall, Nom Nom BKK is a small milk cafe locals talk about a lot. It's tucked away on the 3rd–4th floor of an old building above a som tam shop at the mouth of Phahonyothin Soi 22, an easy walk from BTS Ha Yaek Lat Phrao or MRT Phahonyothin. It suits people wanting a chill corner near the train, photo lovers, and couples or groups of friends who want to sit and chat quietly.

The hero of the shop is the cold “fresh milk,” which real reviews agree is fragrant and rich just right, alongside the “milk-butter toast” and custard-filled toast grilled to a perfect golden. If you like it less sweet, try the pink milk, which reviewers praise as fragrant and not too sweet. Tea fans can go for Thai tea, premium green matcha with a thick, deep milk body, cocoa, or a tangy Italian soda. Most items are gently priced at around 60–100 baht — it's a milk-and-bread cafe, no heavy main dishes.

The shop is decorated cute and minimal, with a balcony overlooking the street on both sides and soft '80s–'90s music playing, making it easy to linger. Many say it's a great corner for social-media photos. The one thing reviews consistently warn about is that the stairs up to the shop are fairly narrow and steep, so anyone who finds stairs difficult should be prepared.

It opens daily, roughly 11:00–22:00 (some days later), with parking in Phahonyothin Soi 22. Its Wongnai score is a perfect 5.0, with visitors praising both the flavour of the milk and toast and the central Ha Yaek Lat Phrao location that's easy to reach — a milk cafe worth stopping at if you're passing through this area.

If you want to escape the bustle of Ha Yaek Lat Phrao and settle into an old wooden house over 60 years old set in a green garden, Narisa Cafe & Creative Space in Phahonyothin Soi 17 is a place many people fall for. It's a two-storey wooden house renovated into a white minimal cafe blended with vintage home decor: the ground floor is a clean, bright white zone with wooden furniture, the upper floor is dressed with antiques like wooden cabinets and a sewing-machine table, and the outdoor garden zone has shady trees, stone tables, wooden tables and plenty of photo corners. It suits cafe-goers who love a warm, homey atmosphere to work, read, or take pretty photos with friends.

The standout menu is drinks both coffee and non-coffee alongside homemade bakery. Several real reviews praise the coffee, especially the iced latte and the fresh-milk drinks, while desserts like the lemon meringue tart, macadamia cheesecake and scones aren't too sweet and are easy to enjoy. Drinks start around 90–125 baht and bakery around 90–160 baht. Come in the evening and the shop also has a main-dish zone and wine, with items like pasta, BBQ pork ribs and snacks earning praise alongside the nice atmosphere.

Location-wise, walk from BTS Ha Yaek Lat Phrao Exit 3 into Phahonyothin Soi 17, or park at Central/Lotus's Ladprao and walk into the soi — it's about 800 metres from Central. The Google score is 4.6, which is good for a cafe in this area, with people praising the calm atmosphere, cute decor, good staff service and reasonable prices.

A few things to know: the cafe zone opens roughly 9:00–17:00 and the shop is closed on Wednesdays. Holidays get fairly busy and the pretty corners tend to get claimed, so if you want a garden table or a photo corner, come in the morning or early afternoon. Parking in the soi is limited — coming by public transport is more convenient.

If you're shopping at Central Ladprao and want a cold coffee to rest your legs, Rowie's Coffee is a spot many people stop at. It's the cafe of Foss Jirachpong, whom people casually call “Foss's coffee.” It's very easy to spot thanks to the black-cat logo and the clean navy-white-black colour scheme, on the G floor next to the Luca egg-tart shop, reachable by walking into the mall from BTS Ha Yaek Lat Phrao or MRT Phahonyothin. It suits cafe-goers who love snapping photos, Foss's fan club, and anyone wanting an easy-drinking coffee while walking the mall without paying a lot.

The star menu is the medium-roast Oat Milk Latte; most reviews agree the coffee is smooth and not too bitter, with oat milk giving it a softer, more fragrant body. Another thing the shop puts effort into is letting you choose the bean level — light / medium / dark — to your taste, so whether you like it bright and tangy or dark and heavy, you can adjust. Matcha fans get up to three options — Uji, Kagoshima and Yame — with reviews praising the matcha for its lovely green colour, silky (not powdery) texture, easy drinking, and gentle bitterness with just a touch of sweetness. There's also Fluffy Biscoff Milk, Orange Coffee and Caramel Macchiato that many people reorder.

Prices are very kind for a cafe in a mall, starting around 50 baht, with most in the low hundreds, so you can stop by often without denting your wallet. The space isn't very large and leans toward takeaway or a walk-and-shop cup rather than long sitting, but there's a black-cat corner for capturing a moment, plus branded souvenirs like stickers, keychains and shirts to pick up as gifts.

It opens daily roughly 10:00–20:30 following mall hours. Good to know: when Foss comes in person or there's a fan-club event, it gets especially crowded with long queues, so if you'd rather not wait, avoid peak hours. If you're already walking around Central Ladprao and want an easy-drinking, affordable coffee plus the charm of the black-cat brand, this shop is a fun stop.

Ladprao Citizen Coffee is a small cafe in Lat Phrao Soi 18 Yaek 2, about 350 metres from MRT Lat Phrao Exit 4. It's a cute, bright-toned shop catering to office workers, students and cafe-goers who want a chill corner near the train. What sets it apart from a typical cafe is the in-shop Double A document-printing service — anyone with an urgent job to print while working can finish it all in one place, making it a shop good both for sipping coffee and clearing work.

The items reviewers mention most are the coffee and affordable cold drinks, plus cakes in the tens of baht that are easy to order without denting your wallet. The standout, the Soda Peach at 65 baht a glass, is described as refreshing and just tart-sweet enough — a good match for our hot weather. Bring your own cup and you get a 5-baht discount too. The per-person price sits at a level where you can sit for a long while without overthinking it.

The interior is decorated cute and bright-toned; the spot people like to photograph is the blue-tiled counter that's the shop's standout backdrop. There's a green sofa zone for chilling, round tables for chatting or light work, and a round-mirror corner with props to play around with. The shop is fairly small, with fewer than 10 seats, so quiet-work types are best coming on a weekday outside rush hour for a comfier spot.

The location is very convenient for people around Ha Yaek Lat Phrao–Central Ladprao, an easy walk from the MRT. The shop takes credit cards and is dog- and cat-friendly, but there's no parking and no WiFi — good to know before you go. Hours are Monday–Thursday 09:00–17:00, Friday opens 08:00, Saturday–Sunday 10:00–17:00. If you're after coffee + affordable desserts, or want a work seat with printing in one place, this shop delivers.

CLOUDNEY Cafe & Bar is a small shophouse cafe on Lat Phrao Road at the mouth of Lat Phrao Soi 34, near the Lat Phrao 30 bus stop, about 400 metres from MRT Lat Phrao. It's a renovation and continuation of the former shop called 92000 Cafe, with the seating rearranged to feel more open and a second floor added. It stays open from midday as a cafe to work in, through to the evening when it becomes a chill bar. It suits people around Central Ladprao–Ha Yaek Lat Phrao who want a quiet corner to sit for a long while — working, reading, or meeting friends for a long chat.

The item reviewers mention most is the coffee, dark-roasted and full-bodied, averaging around 80 baht; people who take coffee seriously say the iced cappuccino is well made. On the food side there's rice plates, big steaks, big sausages, spaghetti and snacks. The items people order and praise are the tom yum goong (around 89 baht) and the fried-beef rice, both nicely seasoned.

To be honest, per real reviews, the food here isn't polished on every plate — some say the bacon fried rice comes out a bit bland, and some steaks are chewy for certain people. What everyone agrees on is the coffee and the atmosphere: dark-toned decor, soft music, cold air-con and a friendly owner, making it a place to sit and linger rather than come for a heavy meal.

It opens daily 09:00–20:00. Per-person cost, if you order just coffee, is under a hundred, but ordering food as a meal nudges it up. Good to know: the shop is fairly small and sits on a big road, so if you come in the evening and want a good corner, arrive before the crowd. For cafe-goers looking for a quiet work seat with strong coffee near MRT Lat Phrao, this shop delivers.
