Treecreeper

Location : Saladaeng Soi 1

Atmosphere : Treecreeper is a wittily modernised Thai style house that is surrounded by large trees. The european chairs, colourful walls, and the peaceful feeling of old woods can really calm you down on Sunday afternoon. This is also another place with marvelous coffee, which makes a great combo with owner's homemade macaroons. The flavours of the macaroons are very well-balanced and well-selected despite its poor execution on the texture of the piece, which is sometimes quite ok to overlook.

Apart from the cute sweets and coffee Treecreeper is also one of rarest places that offer you an ice cold draft Kronenburg.

Est. 33

Location : Crystal Design Center

Atmosphere : Est.33 houses the best local draft beer in Thailand. As a sub-brand of this country's largest brewing company Singha Corporation, they make beers themselves in the shop. With a micro-brew station and an on-site brew master, Est.33 offers 4 different kinds of beers; lager, copper, dark, and weizen (seasonal). Topped up with fusion food from Minibar Royale management team and extra beer cocktails, the place is absurdly packed. During winter it is almost impossible to get a table on arrival. So it is highly recommend that you come early or make a reservation before you land. However, there is also a plastic cup service if you don't want to hangout.

It's such a shame that Est.33 situates in a place so far away. But sometimes that's just nothing compared to its good beer.

Cafe Turin

Location : Saladaeng Soi 2 (Saladaeng Colonade)

Atmosphere : Hidden in a colonial style apartment is a compact italian coffee shop Cafe Turin. It is the perfect spot for an isolated weekend, when you want to spend time with yourself reflecting things. The place makes you feel out of place, clam and modest in a lovely European way. On non-working days, the only crowd you will find are people in the neighbourhood living their lives. But during work days the cafe seems to be moving faster along the vibe of its neighbourhood.

Ifitis

Location : Sukhumvit Soi 38

Atmosphere : Ifitis (if-it-is) is a one of the cozy tiny houses along the soi that stands out because of its converted facade and a bright yellow wall painted by the owner. When you walk in you will find the place filled with peculiar decorative knickknacks and a mixture of furniture, which give out a fun and lively ambiance. And to compliment with the place Ifitis, of course, serves you fusion food. The highlight of the night seems to be the wedges with its 10 different sorts of dips, chicken curry roti, and fried liver.

Mokka The Old Fashion Cafe

Location : Sarasin Road, opposite to Lumpini Park

Atmosphere : The new Mokka is even better! Compared to the old one on Langsuan rd., this 3 storeys row house space just has more affect on you. Bits and pieces from the old place have been put together in the new style that reminds you of small vintage cafes in a laneway. Each floor has its unique feel to it, from formal to casual. The menu is still the same with Belgian drafts and Thai -Western dishes. But what's new and very cool now is that they have a "Happy Hour" all night on Wednesdays.

The service team is the same people who are still nice and friendly :)
