Holey Artisan Bakery and Cafe Suan Phlu — Restaurant in Thung Maha Mek Subdistrict

We love bread and holey moley, they’ve got SO many great variations of it!

Sweet, savory, flakey, dense, buttery, dry, ooey-gooey, lip drooling, finger licki— well, scratch that, maybe not finger licking so much nowadays because of the ‘vid, but I’ve come to think that you get the idea? They are delicious!

No, seriously, all non-jokes aside, the pastries, breads, cakes, even panini’s and such are really good. We’ve patronized a few times now and made it a point to try something new each time we go. I will however admit that it can be a bit pricey to treat yourself here.

Today we indulged in the:

-Caprese Panini -Rocket Salad w/ a honey Dijon or mustard or something-like-that dressing, but delicious! -Pumpkin Soup -Cauliflower Soup

Dessert: -Death by Chocolate, Chocolate Cake -Not sure the name, but very delicious Carrot Cake

Drink: -Americano

Everything we had was very good. I’ve had the caprese panini before and it did not disappoint. Whatever EVO or mozz or whatever it is that makes that sandwich so delicious and buttery and crispy, we thank you.

The Rocket Salad was very good, I mean, it’s a salad, but it was fresh and the dressing is served on the side- to be administered on your own; that special touch, you know? Free will. So pleasant.

The Pumpkin Soup was pumpkin soup, rich, creamy, but needed a bit of salt, which we added. The Cauliflower soup was rich, creamy, tasted like we’d been outside playing in the bushes- very......jungle, so we knew we were getting our vitamins.

And then of course, the vitamins were trumped by the dessert. I mean, Death by Chocolate?! The cake was literally called Death.by.Chocolate. Not only was it so rich, few layers and frosting so thick, it was the darkest chocolate cake I’d ever seen. So rich it took me 2 days to eat it!

The carrot cake tasted like, the holidays, you know? Thanksgiving, Christmas little bit of autumn leaves. It was very all-spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and every bit of a moist cake that it needed to be. Very delicious and both went well w the Americano- just enough zing to keep the food coma at bay.

There’s WiFi, a few tables to sit and do some light work while eating so we’d def recommend for a coffee meet-up, light lunch/brunch, heavy drown your sorrows pastries, or simply delight yourself w a slice o’ warm bread, Guvna!

Holey Artesian Bakery in Suan Plu, Bangkok, Thailand, is a true gem that I can’t seem to go a week without visiting! Their menu is a delightful fusion of flavors and quality that keeps me coming back for more. Among my favorites are the avo fave, khun vegan, cubano, and roast beef sandwiches. Each bite is a testament to their dedication to fresh ingredients and innovative recipes. The avo fave is a creamy, flavorful delight, while the khun vegan offers a delicious plant-based option that doesn’t compromise on taste.

The cubano sandwich is a perfect blend of savory goodness, and the roast beef sandwich is simply unparalleled. Additionally, their granola bars make for a fantastic snack, packed with wholesome ingredients and great taste. And let’s not forget the supreme cookies – they are the ultimate indulgence, crispy on the outside and perfectly chewy on the inside.

Holey Artesian Bakery has become an essential part of my weekly routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious, high-quality food in Silom. The friendly atmosphere and exceptional service only add to the wonderful experience. The outstanding customer service from the employees makes every visit a pleasure, with their friendliness and attentiveness enhancing the overall experience. Don’t miss out on this...

Updated review.

This is my third visit and needed to update my review because I just ate the 'Cubano Toastie' with a cup of coffee.

That is the best sandwich I have eaten compared to any other I have eaten in Asia. Maybe the world....

Seems to he a running theme with Holey, got some master bakery magic thing going on here. Everything is absolutely amazing and this is not just because I have spent the last 10 years in Asia and mostly deprived off good bakery products, I am from the UK, I know a good cake. This is good cake.

If I lived or worked close by to Holey, I would be here every day.

I have been a massive fan of the 'coffee club' and Starbucks Starbucks for years but now I know Holey I don't think I can take the coffee club or Starbucks seriously anymore.

Original review.

Holey is fabulous. The bread, pastries and cakes are excellent. The coffee was hot and tasty, the Iced Lemon Tea made with fresh lemon and tea. We took a loaf of sliced sour dough bread home with us and it is the best bread we have ever had in Thailand.

Service was with a smile, very professional.

When your sat inside here, eating the London Ale Pie and drinking good coffee it is hard to imagine that you are in Bangkok and not in a coffee shop in London or Paris.

Absolutely certain that I will return...
