8 places with amazing fresh-baked pastries and bread in Bangkok
These breads and pasteries will take your boring morning routine up a notch
The smell of freshly baked bread wafts out of this place starting at 7am, which makes for a rewarding trek down the soi to its doors. The creations from Jonathan Valdman and Benoit Fradette involve a long fermentation process and use organic flour and ingredients, resulting in beautiful baguettes (B85) and breads, such as the 100-percent whole rye (B315/kg), poppyseed and fig (B650/kg), and dark chocolate (B55). Don’t forget to nab some black olives, sheep milk cheese and garlic cream (B80) flavors on your way out!
240/12-13 Chan Kao Rd., 02-678-1300. Open Tue-Sun 7am-7pm
If you're not drawn to the leafy, Daikanyama-worthy facade of this palatial, you will be by the display of Japanese breads inside. Step inside this glasshouse and choose between yudane walnut bun (B55) and pain au chocolate (B55) to enjoy with coffee. Other good options including the cranberry chocolate bun (B55) with dried cranberries, orange peel and walnut cream cheese (B65), both fluffy and flavorful, and pasteries like the dark chocolate cake (B165).

Located at 49 Terrace community mall, there is one thing that sets this place apart from Amantee and Maison Jean Phillipes—the unbeatable Aussie staples. Our favorites include the sausage roll (B120) and meat pies (B160) which always run out if you came too late. We’re also partial to the daily-baked crusty baguette (B120), buttery brioche (B380), and the plump meatballs (B150/3pcs), which is perfect for sandwiching between a ciabatta (B150).
49 Terrace, Sukhumvit Soi 49, 083-040-5911. Open Tue-Sun 9am-4pm. BTS Phrom Phong
Foodies head here to grab their morning bread fix. Bangladeshi owner Nasirul Alam Porag is something of a fanatic when it comes to sourdough, so consequently his unbleached flour loafs have a deliciously aerated, chewy texture. Be sure to pick up the baguette (B100), sourdough bread (B80) or almond croissant (B120) with mazipan (sweet almond paste) fillings. Other sweeter options include the rich chocolate cake (B140) and carrot cake (B140). They also serve coffee (from B80) and cold-pressed juice (B100).
245/12 Sukhumvit Soi 31, 02-101-1427. Open Tue-Sun 7am-6pm. BTS Asok
Step inside this lovely loft-like space with a prominent bar and cooking station for fancy breakfast options made using freshly made sourdough. We like the avocado toast (B265)—a great combination of toasted ciabatta, poached eggs, asparagus, zucchini, confit cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and pumpkin—and the flavorful and creamy salmon eggs benedict (B385) with homemade focaccia bread, smoked salmon, green apples and ricotta cream cheese.

Here, a concrete and steel baking oven turns out fresh breads and pastries made daily ranging from wonderful rye, brown bread (the Florianer, B100) and braided poppy bread (B25) to Austrian classics like cheese breadsticks (B40/each) which is tangy and crisp from slightly burnt cheese, and the cinnamon roll (B40) covered with sprinkles of sugar and cinnamon. Don’t forget to order a piping hot Americano (B60) or a frothy cappuccino (B70) to complete your meal.
18 Phahon Yothin Soi 5, 081-902-9183. Open Tue-Sun 7am-7pm. BTS Ari
