A household name with over 160 outlets around the globe, you probably know the affordable Illy Caffe as a reliable tourist spot with convenient set ups at landmarks, airports, and malls. Its first venture in Thailand is set up in Erawan, extending its appeal to local cafe hoppers and the office worker crowd. 

 

 

Maintaining its reputation for a good cup of joe, the branch carries staples from espresso to cold brew, but if you want to try something a little different, orders like the Infiore (B150) adds a bit of fruitiness to your shot of espresso with a layer of apricot jam at the bottom. 

 

 

It’s not just coffee, Illy Caffe also carries Italian bites suitable for a grab-and-go lunch with a quality catch up sesh companion. 

 

 

Fusilli al pesto (B320) is a dish that’s near and dear to Italian foodies. Here, they select the world’s top five fusilli—larger than your average pasta, so the rich sauce and the gooey cheese gets tucked into the crevices.

 

 

For a quick bite, opt for the mortadella e pistacchi sandwich (B320). Served on crispy toasted focaccia, the buns are packed with mortadella slices, pistachio pesto, balsamic cream, and smoked scamorza cheese that fuel you throughout the office grind.

 

 

The multi layered coffee bean (B220) is a combo of chocolate moose, coffee cake, and dark chocolate coating that’ll give the bite a crunchy-on-the-outside-fluffy-on-the-inside texture.
