Unbranded Cafe — Restaurant in Bang Khun Phrom Subdistrict

I took a Grab to this cafe because of the positive reviews and I was looking for a quiet place amidst the bustle of Bangkok. It was a disappointing experience for me.

Came on a weekend afternoon. When I walked in, I didn't realise this cafe was situated in a hidden lane and was part of a small hotel. No one greeted me or showed me to a seat. You just walk in and figure it out yourself. I saw a sign saying to order and pay at the counter- the cafe cashier doubles up as hotel reception. The lunch menu was very limited- a few choices of Thai rice dishes and western pasta.

I ordered the shrimp omelette rice and Thai green milk tea. My drink came fast and was very delicious- they used real matcha powder instead of the usual sweet syrup in Thai green milk tea. My food however took a long time, even though the cafe wasn't exactly crowded and I saw that most customers had finished their food and were simply chilling.

The cafe is open air and sheltered. There's an area where they display retro items and another area where there are day beds you can lie down on and those were very popular. There was soft music playing in the background.

When my food finally came, I saw the waitress bring it to me from the kitchen, and I was told to go to a self service area to take my own utensils/ napkin/ drinking water. The thing is, the self service area is a few steps away from the kitchen. I don't understand why the staff can take my plate of rice from the kitchen to my table but cannot take a few steps more to get the utensils when it's nearby and on the way; but ask customers to get up and get them ourselves? If that's the case, they might as well ask customers to collect their food from the kitchen counter and then head to the self service area after that since its nearby anyway and more efficient?

I have hardly eaten any bad Thai food in Thailand but my shrimp omelette rice was basically tasteless :( I expected it to come with Thai chilli sauce but it wasn't included. The staff who took my order and who served me the food were all very friendly and nice though.

The place wasn't quiet either. There was a large group dining there and a family with a noisy kid so the ambience was like a market..

What a letdown. Sadly I...

We went here for breakfast on our first morning in Bangkok - it looks like a family run cafe and had good, welcoming ambience. We ordered two of the smoothies which were actually smoothies (mixture of fruits, little ice and no extra sugar or syrup) unlike the rest of Thailand where a smoothie is usually like a frappe or has yogurt in it and for 85 THB very good value. Food wise - there are limited and basic break, eggs, pancake options. We ordered the breakfast set, scrambled eggs and granola - everything was freshly made , wholesome and flavourful and the prices were much cheaper compared to other cafes we visited in Thailand. Highly...

Decent prices for a coffee, quite small place for working but upstairs was quiet around 1pm until 3pm.

They serve breakfast for a reasonable price (100-150 baht) but did not try it.

On the downside there is no plugs upstairs at all what I could see, so make sure to come here with a charged laptop if you are planning to get some work done while drinking your coffee.

Edit: Went here a second time and had an amazing breakfast. Great ham n cheese croissant and a granola with fruit bowl. The portions are considerably small but tasty. So make sure to order 2 if you are a big eater like me. Did not try the...
