Cafes in BKK to visit

Going to do a blogpost on which cafes to go in BKK since some of my friends who are going to BKK are asking for it :) I only been to a few ones on my recent trip and I can't wait to explore more cafes which is already on my notebook already ;)

Cafes that I've visited and worth to go!! :D

1) Roast Cafe

I went here twice! The first time was for their dinner. I thought they serve all day breakfast but their brunch menu is only till 5.30pm. I was so disappointed initially but was rejoicing after I've tried their dinner menu :P

These were what we ordered for dinner:

This coffee "Magic" was recommended by the boss there and heavy caffeine-lovers will definitely love this! But pls do not drink this at night because I couldn't sleep the whole night after this! It is really a strong milk coffee drink!



My pasta choice would always be aglio olio and thus I ordered the Bacon and Garlic one. It is even served with poached egg! I love how they cook the pasta with garlic :P



Another MUSTTTT EAT on their dinner menu is the Seafood Risotto! Pls do not miss out on this! The best risotto I've ever tasted and I am sure going to order this when im back :D



And because it was so good, I came back with my friends a few days later to check out their highly-raved brunch.

Had to try this, esp when I am a matcha-lover~ Matcha float!



I was contemplating whether to get their hot chocolate and I guess I made the right choice! It doesn't taste like a normal chocolate drink because I found the the chocolate taste unique. Their chocolates are selected from a premium French chocolate called "Valrhona Chocolate".



And my Classic Eggs Benedict! Their eggs benedict was so-so though.



Their Pulled Pork Burger was very good! Served with BBQ pork, coleslaw with sour cream dressing~



For sandwich, we ordered the Crunchy Croque Monsieur which basically has ham, cheese, butter and cheese inside.



This dish is rather special and we waited 20 mins for it to be cooked. The boss was very nice and came to told us that the dish would need a longer time.

TATA~ The Cassoulet. It is a white bean stew with bacon, duck confit, garlic and sausage, looks mouthwatering right :P



Lastly, we ordered a Salmon Rosti to share because the picture of it on the menu looks so tempting hehe.

They are very generous with their salmon!



You wouldn't want to miss out on Roast ^^





For their address, check out their fb page here : https://www.facebook.com/roastbkk

Alight at Thong Lor BTS and it's a 15-20 mins walk from the BTS. Suggest taking a cab from the BTS because it's quite a long walk! It's at Soi 13, look out for the sign~


2) Mr Jones Orphanage

So after a good lunch/dinner at Roast, you could head to Mr Jones Orphanage for desserts which is just a level down from Roast:) Yes, they are just nearby to one another.

I was totally amazed and impressed by their decor!! Although I was still feeling hungry from the dinner at Roast, I did not hesitate to spend quite some time to take photos. Just too lovely ^^













So many teddy bears!



What we ordered~

Wanted to try this long ago and because the cake is photogenic :P



Lemon Meringue tart which was not too sweet and appetizing :)



Creme Brulee :D

3) Greyhound Cafe

Greyhound cafe is known for its buffalo wings and I was amazed by what their menu has to offer. They have such a wide selection of food. You can get Thai, Western, Chinese food etc etc. There's just too many! We took quite some time to decide what to order heh



















Yay, happy tummies :D



Location: Siam Paragon 1st floor

4) After you Cafe

I bet most of you must have heard of this cafe too! Their desserts are so highly raved about. We had to queue for at least half an hour on a saturday noon to be seated.

Snapping photos while waiting ^^



But, their desserts will definitely not disappoint you :P I went back twice during the trip because I see the cafe almost everywhere in BKK!



DON"T miss out their honey toast!!

Wimbly Lu

Cafe hopping to Wimbly Lu! Have been seeing too much waffles photos on instagram and Wimbly Lu seems to have the top 5 best waffles in sg, hence I decided to give it a try ^^

I was apprehensive to go on a Sunday afternoon because I thought it would be very crowded but I was wrong. The place was quite small and there were seats available, I don't even have to queue! Probably I was lucky :P

Ordered their eggs on toast and their highly raved waffles~



The serving was really small and not worth it.



Cup of Matcha Latte on a rainy day~



The waffles was really good ^^ I thought Strangers Reunion was the best, but not until I have tasted this ! :P



And their Nutella Tart which was not so sweet and to my liking!

I would only go back for their desserts and not for their mains :)

Wearing Love bonito top x The Wallflower Shop Sasha Skirt

Another favourite ensemble of mine lately ^^



Totally loving the skirt and the spag top that I kept re-wearing it!

I am totally enjoying my holidays ^^

Lola's Cafe x Pleated top

Spent one of the chilly days at Lola's Cafe and surprisingly, their food was pretty good and decently-priced. We had 1 coffee, 2 main courses and desserts and the bill was near to $50 bucks only? Most of the food in their brunch menu (10-3pm) and dinner menu (6-10pm) are under $15 nett. They do not have service charge and GST, very wallet-friendly place :D

It's a small and cozy cafe and good enough for a simple and fuss-free meal.



Here's what we have ordered:

Latte, which I would think The Bravery's one still beats this.



Caramelized banana Early Grey Tart, which was something special but I would still prefer their nutella tart (no pics of it cos it was too blur D:)



The Bacon and Mushroom cream pasta which tasted really good!



Lastly, Swimmer Crab pasta which I don't really like it because of the strong herb taste~



I would definitely go back for their brunch and desserts!

Outfit~









I was so excited to wear this pleated top out!! Pleated stuff is so in fashion now, thanks to innit Bangkok! They sell really nice apparels! I am so in love with this pleated top that I kept it in 4 colours! *horrible shopaholic* It's a staple must-have piece!!

Wore the pink one out on a separate occasion! It should also look good if you pair it with a pair of jeans ;) I love the pop of red here and the match of #thewallflowershop Dainty Rose Necklace too hehe.
