Casa Lapin x 26 

There are imitators and then there are originals. Casa Lapin may not have started life at this bright and open temple of exposed brickwork and dangling light bulbs, but it has turned into something of a mother branch for these coffee culture innovators’ ever-expanding little empire. Sniff out your preferred Ethiopian blend then order up a juicy pork burger followed by the chewy almond brownie.

Simple

We love the cool-but-ramshackle feel at chef Ploy Chatalong’s organic-leaning all-day breakfast spot. The open layout feels like dining in someone’s loft-conversion kitchen as you tuck into hearty plates of shakshuka, full English breakfasts spotlighting local produce, and filling roasted veggie salads. There’s also lots to enjoy here if you’re vegan.

Veganerie Concept

You don’t need to be vegan to appreciate the decadent plant-based goodies at this airy, fern-filled diner. Shirk your diet with the Vegan Banana Nut Butterscotch Hotcakes, or stay on track with a Green Fresh smoothie bowl with nutritious kale, kiwi, banana, pineapple and goji berry. If you're ravenous, you can even opt for a vegan pulled pork burger or a massaman curry with vegan "chicken" (grilled mushroom) and roti.

Holey 

Grab your morning bread fix at this early-rising bakery where the bread and pastries are made from scratch, highlighting the use of unbleached flour, house-made sourdough, glaze and frosting.

Brainwake 

If you’re not drawn to the leafy, Daikanyama-worthy facade of this two-story diner, you will be by the display of French pastries inside.

Brekkie

Despite the name, Brekkie goes well beyond breakfast to serve healthy, hearty dishes all day long. Buzzwords like quinoa, avocado, spirulina, flaxseed, acai berry and chia seed dominate the menu in dishes like fried quinoa tom yum with diced salmon, avocado toast and homemade cold pressed juices. Expect a farmhouse ambience from all the warm hanging bulbs, garlic strings and milk-jugs filled with wheat.
