Wake Up Right with the Top 15 Breakfast Cafes in Bangkok That Serve Mornings with Magic!
One early morning in Bangkok, after a red-eye flight and very limited sleep, I wandered into a small cafe simply hoping for caffeine. Instead, I found the fluffiest pancake I’d ever tasted, a lavender latte that somehow fixed my jet lag, and a playlist that made the whole place like magic.
That accidental discovery kickstarted my passion to explore more of the city’s breakfast spots, because sometimes in Bangkok, mornings aren’t just about fuel, they’re about flair. From sleek cafes hidden in laneways to bustling brunch spots filled with the smell of buttery croissants and brewing coffee, each stop brought something new to savour.
Soon enough, mornings became the best part of my day, and a good breakfast sets the foundation for a great day ahead! So, if you’re seeking a soulful breakfast and the right amount of brews, here’s a roundup of the top breakfast cafes I love to visit in Bangkok.

If you’re in Bangkok and craving a proper Western breakfast, you’ll want to find your way to Breakfast Story. Tucked above a quiet soi near Phrom Phong, this spot serves hearty American and Canadian breakfast all day long.
It might take a few stairs to reach, but once you’re inside, it feels like home, especially if crispy bacon and scrambled eggs are your thing. Their signature Breakfast Story platter hits the spot with its crispy bacon, creamy scrambled eggs, toast, and all the essentials you’d expect back home.
You’ve also got lighter picks like avocado egg sandwiches or something more indulgent like their tuna melt or Texas toast—great if you’re not in the mood for the full spread. The staff here is upbeat and quick with service, making it easy for you to settle in and start your day right.
Pro tip: Seating fills up quickly on weekends, but if you go before 9 AM, you’ll beat the crowd and get your food fast. Plus, it’s cooler to take the nearby Skywalk after your meal.

Menu
Luka Cafe is one of those places that quietly wins you over from the first bite. Their breakfast game is strong, with a mix of Western comfort favourites like breakfast burritos, smashed avocado toast, and perfectly soft French toast.
The Luka Breakfast is a standout if you’re hungry, and it comes stacked with eggs, sourdough, salad, sausage, and hash browns.
Their sourdough deserves a shout too—crisp crust, chewy centre, and ideal with a strong cup of their hand-brewed coffee. Prices lean higher than a street stall, but you’re paying for quality and solid portion sizes.
Pro tip: If you’re not up for a full breakfast, swing by for their house-made pastries or banana bread and a coffee to-go. It’s a great move if you’re heading into a busy day.
THE COFFEE CLUB

Address: 144 N Sathon Rd, Si Lom, Bang Rak
Contact details: +66614037536
Operating hours:
- Monday to Friday – 6:30 AM to 10 PM
- Saturday to Sunday – 7 AM to 9 PM
If you’re after an all-day breakfast spot with plenty of options, The Coffee Club covers all your bases. Their Big Breakfast is a solid pick—it comes with bacon, eggs, toast, mushrooms, and even a free coffee, which is a nice touch if you’re not keen on ordering dinks separately.
You’ll also want to try the Strawberry Breakfast for something lighter but still satisfying. The smashed avocado with poached eggs is what keeps regulars coming back—simple, clean, and loaded with flavour.
Portions here are generous, and the vibe is perfect whether you’re meeting someone or just easing into the day solo! You’ll find most locations conveniently close to hotels, especially around central Bangkok, which makes it easy to drop in.
Pro tip: If you’re vegetarian or vegan, go for the Veggie Big Breakfast. It’s got everything you need to feel full without feeling heavy, and they don’t skimp on the good stuff like mushrooms and avocado.
Sarnies Bangkok

Website
Menu
If you’re the kind of breakfast person who loves bold twists, Sarnies should be high on your list. The tom yum eggs Benedict hits different—classic poached eggs, yes, but then you get that Thai tanginess layered in with smoked salmon or bacon.
It sounds like a risk, but somehow it works well. Their house-cured meats and homemade breads give everything that extra edge.
They roast their coffee beans, too, which is enough reason to drop by. The vibe here is casual, tucked inside a repurposed boat-repair shop near the Chao Phraya River, so you’ve got charm and history on top of a menu that is filled with fresh ingredients.
Pro tip: Order the coconut long black if you want something cool, caffeinated, and a bit different. It pairs surprisingly well with their savoury breakfast plates.
On Lok Yun

If you’re craving a true old-school Bangkok breakfast, On Lok Yun is where you start your day. You’ll get all the local classics—think soft-boiled eggs, pillowy toast, and Thai-style kaya that’s creamy and not overly sweet.
There’s also a breakfast sample if you want a bit of everything: hot dogs, bacon, and even Chinese sausage. It’s not fancy, but that’s the charm—and the vibe here feels like a trip back to the 1950s, and the regulars will tell you it hasn’t changed much in decades.
You’ll see both locals and tourists tucking into French toast with condensed milk or toast dipped in kaya, paired with traditional Thai coffee. Best part? You can mix and match your eggs just how you like—scrambled, fried, or soft-boiled.
Pro tip: Skip the weekend rush and aim to arrive before 9 AM. Queues can get long, and this place fills up fast.
Fran’s

Menu
If you’re after a breakfast that hits the sweet spot between comfort and creativity, Fran’s in Sathorn should be on your radar. Their velvet egg and bacon is not your usual bacon and eggs—it’s a thick, soft-cut bacon paired with creamy eggs and a surprise hint of honey that works way better than it sounds.
Their Classic Breakfast also deserves your attention, especially if you like variety on your plate. Think mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, ham, and toast done right.
What makes Fran’s unique is how well they balance hearty brunch favourites with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The space itself feels bright and welcoming, and even if there’s a short wait, it’s worth it.
Pro tip: If you’re planning to skip the morning crowd, go later in the day. Fran’s serves their full breakfast menu all day, which means pancakes at 4 PM are totally fair game.
Toby’s

Toby’s serves legit Western-style breakfast, and it won’t disappoint you. Their crispy French toast with berries is the kind of dish you’d order again before you even finish it—lightly crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and perfectly balanced with sweet berries.
You should also check out their baked eggs, especially if you’re into something savoury and satisfying with a hint of spice and melted cheese. This restaurant stands out for keeping things consistent—doesn’t matter which branch you go to, the food hits the same quality mark every time.
The vibe at the Sukhumvit 38 location is relaxed and a bit tucked away, which makes it ideal for slow mornings. Just know it gets busy fast, and parking isn’t exactly the easiest thing around here.
Pro tip: Skip the coffee for once and go for their cold-pressed juices or smoothies instead. They’re refreshing and a solid pick when you’re trying to beat Bangkok’s heat before noon.

The outdoor terrace is a nice touch, too, especially if you want a bit of sun and space to start your day slowly.

Whether it’s scrambled eggs with cheese, pancakes stacked with chocolate chips, or sausage with crispy potatoes, everything on the breakfast menu leans heavily on comfort and satisfaction.
The vibe is more on late-night diner than brunch cafe, which works in its favour. It’s relaxed, no-frills, and you can show up in whatever mood or state you’re in.
Portions are generous, and if you’re the type who likes breakfast and dessert in one sitting, the strawberry cheesecake does the job.
Pro tip: Skip the crowd by hitting this spot super early in the morning or in the mid-afternoon lull. It’s open 24 hours, but the kitchen can get backed up during typical meal rushes.

Mono Cafe nails the balance between a laid-back vibe and a breakfast menu that delivers. The scrambled eggs over rice with bacon is a standout—hearty, flavourful, and something you’ll probably want to order again.
Their iced chocolate is surprisingly rich without being too sweet, and the Thai tea holds its own as a breakfast drink. You’ve got a good mix of options here too, from fruit bowls to pancakes, all made fresh and presented well.
Service is fast, friendly, and the staff speak English, which helps a lot if you’re just visiting. It’s tucked away near Monomer Hostel, so it stays relatively quiet even during peak hours.

Breakfast starts early, and by 7:30 AM, the place is already buzzing, so come with an appetite and a bit of patience. Their hot cocoa pairs well with the eggs, and you’ll also spot locals ordering the black Thai coffee or soy milk brews.
The cafe follows a self-service style, but the staff are warm and helpful if you need anything clarified. It’s located in the Old Town, surrounded by vintage decor and tucked-away seating that lets you eat in peace.
Pro tip: Head up to the attic room. It’s quiet, naturally lit, and often overlooked by first-timers, making it perfect if you want a slower, more private breakfast.

Cafe Tartine brings French comfort to your breakfast plate with a relaxed vibe and freshly baked everything. Their breakfast platter is a popular pick, but the real deal might be the fluffy omelette served with a crispy potato galette and a refreshing salad.
This spot has built a steady following for good reason—you can DIY your omelette or go sweet with banana and Nutella crepes. Coffee’s strong, juice is fresh, and they even whip up sundried tomatoes and dressings from scratch.
Whether you’re here for a full sit-down or just need a quick bite before work, the service is laid-back but efficient. Weekends are ideal for brunch, especially if you snag a seat outdoors at their garden-like patio.
Pro tip: If you’re into sweets, don’t skip their chocolate pumpkin tart. It’s not your usual dessert and pairs surprisingly well with their soy mocha.
