Walden Home Cafe — Restaurant in Khlong San Subdistrict

Walden Home Cafe in Bangkok is a true hidden gem that offers a delightful escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Tucked away in a quaint shophouse, it perfectly embodies its name, feeling like a cozy, inviting home away from home.

The atmosphere here is simply enchanting. It's vintage, warm, and filled with charming details – from the carefully selected wooden furniture to the shelves lined with books, creating a serene and introspective mood. Soft lighting and calming background music (often classic tunes) contribute to a deeply relaxing environment, making it an ideal spot for quiet contemplation, reading, or intimate conversations.

The coffee at Walden Home Cafe is excellent. They offer a range of well-crafted specialty coffees, from classic Americanos and lattes to unique creations like their "Manhattan Latte." You can tell the baristas put care into each cup, using quality beans to produce rich, flavorful brews. Beyond coffee, their matcha lattes are also highly praised, and they often have refreshing cold-pressed juices too.

Pair your drink with one of their homemade bakery treats. These delightful additions are the perfect accompaniment, adding to the cozy, homely feel. While the focus is on beverages and pastries, some reviews mention light bites like "lava fries" or salads, all adding to the comforting menu. The service is consistently friendly and unhurried, allowing you to truly unwind and enjoy your time. The staff are welcoming and contribute to the cafe's peaceful vibe.

Walden Home Cafe is more than just a place to grab a coffee; it's an experience. It’s a tranquil oasis where you can slow down, recharge, and enjoy quality drinks in a beautifully curated space. If you're in Bangkok and seeking a charming, peaceful cafe with character and excellent coffee, Walden Home Cafe is an absolute must-visit. You'll leave feeling refreshed...

My friends and I have been coming to this cafe (near Iconsiam) regularly for a year or more and we all agree that it serves the best coffee at the best price of any cafe in Thonburi. In fact, in my opinion it is one of the best cafes in Bangkok. What makes it so special? Well, the single origin coffee beans for a start. Then there is the service: warm and wecoming. Then the music: smooth, funky, classic, and more - selected by Khun Dit the friendly & knowledge owner. On top of all this comes the decor: full of old world character & homely charm. There is even an upstairs lounge feautures books. Remember them? Feel free to eat, drink, listen, chat, and browse. You won't be...

แนะนำ - กาแฟซิกเนเจอร์ “เดอร์ตี้” หอมอร่อยจนอยากดื่มแก้วที่สอง / เค๊กแครอท / ร้านคาเฟ่เล็ก ๆ ย่านคลองสาน/ฝั่งธนที่เอาใจใส่ในด้านรสชาติและคุณภาพของกาแฟ

Recommendations - Their signature (and, according to the owner, best seller) iced latte “Dirty” is aromatic and tasteful leaving an after-taste in your mouth yarning for more. Their carrot cake is worth a try. This is a small cafe in the Klongsan/Thonburie side of Bangkok that takes great care of their coffee’s taste and quality.

ข้อดี - ร้านคาเฟ่แต่งเก๋ ๆ น่านั่ง พร้อมเมนูกาแฟหลากหลายที่คงต้องย้อนกลับไปลองให้ครบ / แคชเชียร์ (น่าจะเป็นเจ้าของร้าน) และบาริสต้ามีความใส่ใจในการแนะนำเมนูและให้ความเป็นกันเองดี

What to expect - Small and cozy cafe with varieties of coffee menu to choose from which makes you want to go back to try the rest of the menu. Their cashier (probably the owner) and barista are friendly and quite helpful in recommending the menu.

ข้อติ - ร้านเล็กและเก๋ที่อาจเจอปัญหาลูกค้านั่งแช่หรือถ่ายรูปจนกวนใจคนอยากลิ้มรสกาแฟและบรรยากาศดี ๆ / มีที่จอดรถหน้าร้าน (ไปเมื่อวันอาทิตย์) แต่หากไปวันธรรมดาไม่แน่ใจว่าจะสามารถจอดรถได้ที่ไหน

Don’t be surprised - Your drinking coffee with a serene peace of mind could be disturbed by other patrons who haunt the place to take photos of nooks and corners of this small cafe. Parking is available by the roadside in front of the cafe (I visited the place on a Sunday), however, this might not be the case on a weekday.

ปล : ไม่ได้ลองครัวซองท์ของที่ร้านเนื่องจากถามแคชเชียร์แล้วทราบว่า ที่ร้านไม่ได้ทำเอง

PS : Didn’t try their croissant as the cashier frankly said that they didn’t bake their own croissants.

อัพเดท (6 กพ 2564) - ติดใจเลยมาลองกินเดอร์ตี้อีกครั้งเพื่อเปรียบเทียบกับของอีกร้าน (เจ้าของอีกร้าน claim ว่า ของร้านเขาอร่อยกว่า ซึ่งก็จริง) แต่ก็ยังอร่อยสำหรับผม

Update (6 Feb 2021) - Love their “Dirty” so came back for another try to compare with another cafe’s (the owner of that cafe claimed that his “Dirty” is better, to which I now agree). But this place’s is still good...
