Breakfast Story is a stylish cafe nestled in the back alleys between Soi 33 and 35 off of Sukhumvit Road. As advertised on their "novel" designed menu, they aim to deliver a breakfast adventure, and getting to their store is an adventure in itself! They exist on the third floor above the Hair of the Dog bar, but once you traverse the dimly lit entryway of the night time establishment, you'll find yourself welcomed by a warm, meticulously designed cafe that would find itself at home in any Harajuku sidestreet.
The menu is designed as a book, which could cause a bit of confusion, as I watched a Japanese family struggle through to place their order, but after a bit perusing you can figure out what you'd like to eat. I found the food to be delicious, with fresh flavors and a clean presentation. I ordered a Devilish Latte, Green Machine Smoothie, and 3-Egg Omelette.
There was quite a diverse clientele during my short time and I enjoyed sharing my table with a tourist Japanese family, while people watching the other customers; a couple grabbing breakfast, another solo traveller, a studying student, and gossiping friends. The intimate atmosphere belies the limited space available, which could detract some looking for privacy, but could be described as warmth to another.
A lovely cafe worthy of a slightly longer review, just to add to...

The pancakes themselves are simply delicious. They are light, fluffy, and cooked to perfection. I especially love the variety of toppings and flavors available, from classic maple syrup and butter to more unique options like fresh fruit and whipped cream.

In addition to the incredible pancakes, Bangkok’s Breakfast Story also offers a wide selection of other breakfast options that are equally delicious. From savory omelets to hearty breakfast sandwiches, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The portion sizes are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry.
The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food that you receive. Whether you are a local or just visiting the area, this is hands down one of the best breakfast spots in Bangkok.

Read moreA cute little spot with character and charm on the 2nd level in Mahatun Plaza. Access using the stairs right next to La Monita. It has a hipster diner vibe in the best way - commitment to quality, great service, being awesome and doing it in style.
The menu is breakfast comfort food and they clearly take pride in using quality ingredients. I was delighted to find a place cooking eggs in butter instead of oil, and I could taste the difference. When I saw that I could order a side of peanut butter to go with pancakes I knew I was in a special place.
Vintage metal signs hang on the walls and there are interesting toys and knick knacks on shelves throughout the space. The staff speak excellent English and are friendly and helpful. Rock music from the 80s was playing both times I visited. It is very clean and there were sanitizer bottles at every table in line with the best practice pandemic measures.
Be prepared to add tax and service charge to the prices on the menu, which is common for many restaurants in Bangkok. Even with the taxes the prices are reasonable for the portions and quality of the food. I have been back a couple times because I think it's definitely worth it. I've had the same thing every time (Breakfast Story) because for me...
