Tucked away inside Charoennakorn Soi 10, this ice cream cafe is all about bold, elaborate, fanciful flavors—think Chinese cough syrup, nam pla waan (sweet fish sauce), or squid ink ice cream that will literally turn your teeth black. Putting the weird flavors aside, 10010 bar also excels in what they do; we also love their dark chocolate sorbet—not too thick but still retaining its silky texture. Don’t miss their freshly-baked kouign-amann and canelé. 

100 Charoen Nakhon Soi 10. Open Wed-Sun noon-8pm.
