Vanilla Garden

Fuel up with the crepes and some fresh air in the garden. Vanilla Garden just opened their doors early for crepe lovers. Here, they offer six varieties with dishes like crepe with sunny egg or crepe with wasabi prawn roe. Otherwise, their menu includes a few soups and sandwiches.

Tiny Cup Café

Run by the people behind the cutesy cafe Buttercup, Tiny Cup Cafe has made itself at home in Thonglor with its vintage vibe adorned with knick-knacks and wooden furniture covered with patterned cushions. The food spans recommended fare like the full English breakfast (B380), featuring Joe Sloane’s sausages, cheese omelette (B200) and egg and chorizo (B170).

The Coffee Club

Australian coffee chain The Coffee Club, too, offers a Western menu with the all-day breakfast options (from B295) such as egg benedict or poached egg with bacon and avocado. A ubiquitous sight down under, especially in their home state of Queensland, all branches serve up the same specially blended, UTZ-certified coffee from three origins—Colombia, Brazil and India.

Cafe Tartine

We tend to visit Café Tartine for their French sandwiches made with great crusty baguettes and simple but high quality ingredients. Expect classics like eggs benedict (B220) and crepes (B160-180), while you simply must end your meal with the chocolate pumpkin tart (B100)—delicious, even for breakfast.

Rocket

Long story short, this popular beautiful café’s focus is squarely on pastries and brunch style dishes. The breakfast options range from omelettes (B120) to eggs benedict (B185) to house-made granola served with yoghurt (B110). Since you’re already there, why not take home some sandwiches for your lunch, too, as options like salami-cheese on homemade focaccia (B175) are very tasty.

Chu

Chu has just started serving up dinner, but our favorite is still breakfast. The café offers the same fuss-free casual tone of old while the dishes are fresh and made with good-quality ingredients. Try dishes the scrambled eggs with cherry tomato salsa and Joe Sloane’s chorizo (B250) before washing it down with the succulent hot chocolate (B120).

Theera

Working with a healthy gluten-free, non-dairy concept, Theera serves up a regularly rotating range of bakery treats, from mouthwatering gingerbread cake with homemade granola (B150) and brownie banoffee and milk crumbs (B100), which you can enjoy along with some organic tea. Breakfast dishes are also a big draw, with selections like whole wheat soy buttermilk waffle with different toppings including chicken and broccoli white sauce (B180). Do try their smoothies, too; they use soy milk and coconut yoghurt instead of dairy products.

Plearnwan Panich

Had it with egg benedict? Then this café, owned by the same popular shopping center Plearwan, from Huahin, needs to be on your list. The vintage and industrial hints courtesy of galvanized steel and reclaimed wood don’t detract from a pretty polished feel overall. The food is old-school Thai snacks and breakfast bites such as khai luak (half boiled egg, B40), steamed bread with sungkaya (egg custard, B60) or roast duck in a bun (B110).

Thonglor Soi 13, 084-541-4565. Open daily 8am-9pm

All Six To Twelve

As its name says, the restaurant wakes up very early at 6am and you can feast on their breakfast dishes from both of their branches (we’re prefer the stylish décor at Sukhumvit Soi 39). Offering an interesting list of a la carte breakfast dishes, try the smoked salmon scrambled eggs or Thai-style dishes like half-boiled egg with bread served on an old-school tray.
