Coconut
This brand is a spin-off of a fresh, young coconut exporter who specializes in the aromatic nam hom breed. We are big fans of their dairy-free treats like coconut shakes (from B89), soft serve (original, charcoal or swirled, B100) and ice cream (B55/scoop).

Suan Phlu’s dairy-free ice-cream place makes all its 13 flavors using low-fat coconut milk (B49/scoop), a byproduct from coconut oil extraction. They also make coconut yogurt, too.

Melon
Japanese melon takes center stage at this compact cafe in Siam Paragon. On top of melon bingsu (B180 or B239 in the fruit) and soft serve, in melon yogurt and charcoal milk melon flavors (B140), they also have cold-pressed melon juice (B140).

Here, it’s all about the eponymous breed of pineapple developed and grown in Prachuabkirikhan.
