They take pride in their rotating selection of single origins and specialty coffee blends, which come from all over the globe. Apart from creamy lattes and bold coffee drinks, Bluetamp also nails a well-executed brunch. Their Big Breakfast and decadent grilled banana-topped French Toast are worth saving space for, as well as the Thai-inspired Garlic Shrimp Omelette Rice dish.

This patisserie-café has an extensive menu of bakes and cakes, ranging from Japanese-inspired Matcha Adzuki, to dark and fudgy crackly-topped Flourless Chocolate Cake. Definitely get an order of the signature Honey Lemon Cheese Tart that’s served with a separate shot of honey. Baked with fresh lemon cream, cream cheese and a buttery shortcrust base, this tart is the perfect balance of tangy, sweet and slightly savoury.

Aside from the classic teatime staple of scones and clotted cream, an assortment of bite-sized cakes, finger sandwiches and pastries are served, all artfully arranged on a standee. The aptly-named A Path In The Forest comprises of four layers: buttery crumble, silky Japanese cheesecake, bittersweet matcha mousse and fresh cream. After it’s served to your table, Kyoto matcha is dusted on top as a finishing touch.

KIMMIK
KIMMIK is located at the first floor of Thairong Tower in Suan Luang and boasts a menu that ranges from classic lattes to more interesting inventions. A unique hybrid of conventional white cold brew and espresso-based latte, KIMMIK’s Cold Brew Latte tops cold milk with a super-concentrated cold brew made from Thai coffee beans. For something beyond a usual affogato, get the Mat-zuki–to (short for Matcha Adzuki Affogato). Combining frothy matcha with a scoop of creamy adzuki bean ice-cream, this twist on affogato is earthy, sweet and immensely satisfying.
