As summer heats up, head over to Machi Machi (3/7 Phitsanulok Rd., Thewet, 081-452-7037) for ice-cream in flavors like matcha green tea, strawberry ripple and cherry frozen yogurt. Other desserts are also available, like waffles topped with ice-cream and chocolate sauce or brownies with marshmallows. If you’re in need of a caffeine burst, try Cuphouse (Soi Sukhumvit 63 near Ekkamai Soi 12, 02-381-5040), another new cute and slightly arty coffee house. Grab an espresso (B45) or opt for the signature Cuphouse Secret (B75) with a fudge brownie (B50) or one of their simple sandwiches (starting from B69).
