For a morning coffee around Khlong San, head to the newly launched Walden Home Cafe for an Americano (B65/cold B75). their signature chocolate and matcha latte (hot B70/cold B80) or the healthier cold-pressed juices (B90).

This minuscule shophouse has been given a retro Parisian makeover that has it stand out from the local street scene. For peace and quiet, head to the second floor where the owners' book collection lines the shelves for reading pleasure. To eat, try the gooey "lava fries" (B110) or a grilled chicken salad (B130).
