True Love Cafe may be the most popular Husky cafe in Bangkok right now, but one animal cafe that is increasingly gaining the attention of all animal lovers is Little Zoo Cafe in Siam.

This animal cafe features all sorts of animals such as dogs, cats and birds of different breeds. To top it all off, there are also exotic animals such as an Arctic fox, a Fennec fox and a raccoon.

Do not be taken aback, as all the animals are tame and docile when they play with humans. Entrance to the cafe is free, but all visitors are expected to purchase a main and drink each in order to maintain the welfare of the animals.

Expect to see domestic pets such as this Pekingese who stole the hearts of many visitors that day. The obedient dog is a joy to play with and loves to laze around while enjoying a scratch from many willing human friends.

Other dog breeds they have include the cheeky Chihuahuas who never seem to get tired of dashing around the cafe, giving the entire space a lively atmosphere.

The raccoon has its own special room and visitors are required to wait in line for their turn before they are allowed in. Once you are inside, you are allowed to interact with the raccoon and feed it. Just remember, no carrying is allowed!

You no longer have to travel all the way to the Sahara of North Africa to see a Fennec fox! Little Zoo Cafe has two such foxes and these feisty creatures are mind-blowingly beautiful when you see them up close in real life.

Those who prefer smaller animals will find plenty there as well. We particularly liked the Chinchillas and Parakeets as they are extremely adorable!

Unlike many pet cafes, Little Zoo Cafe has a full menu with appetisers, mains, desserts and beverages. We decided to go for the Omelette Lava Rice (THB215/S$8.84), Hamburg Steak With Rice (THB265/S$10.90), Thai Iced Tea (THB155/S$6.37) and Latte Frappe (THB165/S$6.79).

While the food is not spectacular, the standard is decent as compared to many other themed cafes in Bangkok.

Rest assured that the animals there are under strict supervision by the staff who do crowd control so that the animals would not feel overwhelmed and stressed out.

Pablo—Osaka’s Famous Cheese Tart is opening in Bangkok this week. Its first outlet in Bangkok will be located at Siam Paragon and it will officially open on 27 October 2016.

Now, these Japanese cheese tarts have driven the world crazy, and it is only safe to say that Pablo is among the best. Their debut was more than 2 years ago, but till today, Pablo sees a steady queue at all their outlets in Japan.

Now that it is charting into Bangkok’s territory, we can only rejoice because we are now a step closer to getting our favourite Cheese Tarts.

We are one of those loyal fans who would patiently stand in line and to wait for the batches of fresh bakes, because no trip to Japan would be complete without a baked cheese tart from Pablo.

The baked cheese tarts are in a league of its own; so wonderfully cheesy and crumbly, you’d fall in love at first bite. They are baked fresh in-house daily, and we love looking through the glass windows to catch glimpses of how the godlike tarts are prepared.

Other than its signature Baked Cheese Tart, we understand that Pablo Thailand will also be offering its Premium Cheese Tart, Baked Matcha Cheese Tart with Shiratama & Azuki, Baked Chocolate Cheese Tart, as well as its Pablo Mini Cheese Tart.

There were snaking queues when BAKE Cheese Tart first opened in Bangkok so we are expecting nothing less from Pablo.

Nonetheless, we are not complaining about the queue as we do not have to fly to Japan just to satisfy our cravings for these oozing cheese tarts from Pablo. We are so looking forward to our next trip to Bangkok!

Bangkok always surprises us with its cafes. The Thai city is amazing. Despite the messiness and occasional chaos, Bangkok gives us many reasons to return – and one of them is its cafe trend.

Dessert cafes, coffee specialty houses, all-day brunch food… everything you desire, the Thai city probably has it. We consider ourselves lucky to be based in Singapore, and Bangkok is just a two-hour flight away.

For 2016′s edition, we bring to you some of our favourites, as well as the trending ones in the Thai City. Bookmark this list of Best Bangkok Cafes for your next holiday to the Land of Smiles!

#1 AFTER YOU

This dessert cafe should be no stranger to you by now. After You first started in 2007, and it has been synonymous with Shibuya Toasts ever since. The Shibuya Honey Toast (THB175) is what After You got famous for, and fast forward many years, queues still form outside its various outlets every day for this amazing dessert.

If you haven’t been, add this in to your itinerary. The biggest and prettiest outlet is the one at Siam Square One, but a queue prevails.

#2 AUDREY CAFE & BISTRO

One of the prettiest cafes and among the most popular is Audrey, a predominantly monochrome cafe with cascading vines and fairy lights.

Audrey has a menu that serves both Western and Thai, and they have pretty decent desserts too. The one at Thonglor is our favourite one, but other outlets can be found at major shopping malls in Bangkok such as Central Embassy, Siam Centre and EmQuartier.

#3 CASA LAPIN

Casa Lapin has this irresistibly inviting vibe that draws us back all the time. Apart from its fragrant brew and good third wave coffee, Casa Lapin X49 at an alley on Sukhumvit Soi 49 in Thonglor boasts an intimate space that is photogenic and cosy, and one where you can sit back and enjoy some quiet me-time at.

#4 CERESIA COFFEE ROASTER

Owned by Venezuelan sisters Marian and Lucia Aguilar and Lucia’s husband Bret Asavaroengchai, Ceresia Coffee Roaster is a spot where you can drop by for a cuppa, and have a discussion about coffee with the passionate owners. This boutique roaster takes great pride in serving only the best coffee.

Case in point: They roast their beans in small batches so as to maintain the original flavours from their origins.

#5 CODE (CAFE OF DESSERT ENTHUSIASTS

CODE (Cafe of Dessert Enthusiasts) in Bangkok has been making waves on social media for serving these gorgeous lava thick toast and flavoured croissants. While Shibuya-style thick toasts are not new, Code has reinvented it by coming up with a lava rendition.

CODE’s Lava Thick Toast (THB165 – THB175) are available in four flavours: salted egg yolk, Thai tea, matcha and chocolate. The cafe also has other desserts such as Bingsu and Thai Tea cake.

The original location at The Jas Ramintra is very inaccessible (it’s near to Don Mueang International Airport), so you will be glad to know that it has opened a pop-up cafe at Siam Paragon (G Floor, opposite Häagen-Dazs).

#6 D’ARK BY PHILLIP DI BELLA

D’ark is an increasingly popular spot among locals, and the outlet at EmQuartier is especially sexy with its dark interior. There are both alfresco and indoor seats, but either way, you are in for a treat. Of course they have good coffee, but what we really love is their desserts.

Try the Tiramisu (that is assembled in front of you) and the homemade sorbet in an assortment of flavours (the coconut one is the best!). They also have regular food menu that comprises salads, brunch items and pastas.

#7 FEATHERSTONE BISTRO CAFE & LIFESTYLE SHOP

Featherstone Bistro Cafe & Lifestyle Shop is one of the prettiest finds in Thonglor. It is like an enchanted forest – of butterflies, stained glass and the dreamiest flowers hanging from the ceiling, Featherstone is a must-visit when in Bangkok.

Its food menu is not the most interesting, though. The pastas were pretty mediocre, but pizzas were not too bad and we enjoyed ours. What you must order is the signature drinks. We had the Purple Lullaby, and it really is a work of art; just look at the ice cubes!

#8 FILL IN THE BLANK

This is one of those residential and inconspicuous cafes, but Fill in The Blank is more than worthy of that special trip down. It is one of our favourites to be at; those quaint cafes with warm sunlight streaming in, and serenity that everyone needs.

The gorgeous space is one to relax in over a cup of coffee. Or maybe, for a change, go for the mega huge cup of Thai Tea that costs THB140. Oh, how we loved that!

#9 GRAM

Located at Sukhumvit Soi 49, Gram is a favourite among the Japanese expats who live in the neighbourhood. Its menu is segmented into eggs, bagels, salads, burgers, pancakes, French toasts and pastas. Prices range from THB 120 to 340. As you can tell, it is a pretty affordable option.

Gram also has another outlet at EmQuartier.

#11 HAND & HEART CAFE

This minimalist cafe is predominantly white and its signature frame is now a common sight on Instagram. Fuss-free yet cosy, Hand & Heart Cafe serves a small selection of cakes and drinks.

While nothing tasted exceptional, an afternoon here over coffee and some read is lovely.

#12 INK & LION

A quiet haunt that sits unassumingly in the Ekkamai neighbourhood, Ink & Lion is a vintage-styled coffee shop that combines the simplicity of quality brew, vinyl on loop, and an art gallery. These guys here take their coffee very seriously, so you know you are in for the real deal.

#14 KAIZEN COFFEE CO

This inconspicuous coffee outlet in Ekkamai has very good coffee. The latte art is consistent, and even better when you get a mocha.

It may not be the most comfortable cafe to rest your legs at, but Kaizen Coffee Co has to be a pit stop for some great cuppa when in Bangkok.

#15 KARMAKAMET DINER

Karmakamet Diner needs no introduction. This popular space is always at the top of mind when people talk about Bangkok cafes. The space is well-furnished with a rustic touch, with so much thoughts put into every detail.

The brunch items range from THB270 for a Egg White Fritata to THB490 for a Full Breakfast. The must-try dessert is the super photogenic Strawberry In The Clouds – strawberry shortcake with rainbow cotton candy (THB390).

#16 LIBRARY CAFE

We fell in love with Library Cafe at Sukhumvit Soi 24 as soon as we stepped in. Quaint and comfy, this is a place where you can hang out and chit-chat with friends, or to simply spend the afternoon reading a book while sipping a latte.

#17 MR JONES ORPHANAGE

Contradicting its name, Mr Jones Orphanage is one whimsical bear-themed cafe with a dessert shrine that will take your breath away with its huge selection of homemade goodies.

We can never make up our minds whenever we come here, because how is one supposed to only pick one from this crazy selection?!

On the desserts page, the Matcha Pudding (THB 165) and Passion Fruit Pavlova (THB 170) make lovely endings to your meal.

#19 ONE OUNCE FOR ONION

Forget about waffles with ice-cream or soft serve. Try waffles with popsicles. This is revelation, and exactly why we love One Ounce for Onion. Contrary to its theme, this Japanese-influenced cafe has no onions, but a menu that is chockfull of art and creativity.

Flipping the menu on its own was a joy; we enjoyed browsing through their alternative selections while admiring the amazing photos.

Roast, our favourite cafe in Bangkok, has relocated from its previous location at SeenSpace. It is no stranger to the cafe scene, and it is perpetually packed with brunch-goers.

Its new space at The Commons is nothing short of cosy too. Expect the usual fare – brunch items, a la minute desserts, great coffee, friendly staff, laid back vibes.

#22 ROCKET COFFEE BAR

Established in July 2013, Rocket Coffee Bar started as a hole-in-the-wall joint at Sathorn Soi 12, and the rest as they say is history. It has since expanded to other parts of the city, including this largest outlet on Sukhumvit Soi 49.

Rocket Coffee Bar is undoubtedly one of the most stylish coffee shops in Bangkok. The combination of good coffee, free wifi, simple and earnest wholesome food such as sandwiches, salads, and breakfast make Rocket Coffee Bar a place where we will always return to. And so will you after you’ve checked them out.

This place has swans! ‘Nuff said, right?

The Garden of Dinsor Palace does not have an exceptional menu, neither does the food taste out of the world. But where else can you dine with swans? Well, sort of. And there are peacocks roaming around the compound too!

#26 TOBY’S ON SUKHUMVIT

Sukhumvit has no lack of cafes, but for somewhere with relaxing vibes and reliable food, go to Toby’s on Sukhumvit. The Aussie-style cafe offers good brew and a menu of interesting brunch items.

While we love our avocado toasts, this fairy floss brioche deserves all the attention. That pink floss kind of reminded us of Karlito – you know, that renown Fendi bag charm – but this edible beauty instantly lifted our spirits. And the brioche is pillowy soft with a buttery aftertaste. So worth every damn calorie!

This Tom Yum UFO from Sansab Restaurant has been making waves in Bangkok, and it is one of the more commonly photographed food dish on Instagram these days,

In case you are wondering what it is, it really is a simple steamboat of sorts, with additional ingredients on the side. Is it really that worth the hype though?

We made a trip to the restaurant during our recent trip to Bangkok, and here’s our take.

San Sab is a pretty comfortable restaurant that sits on level 4 of Siam Paragon. It is spacious, brightly lit, and has booth seats for big groups.

Its regular menu is unassuming – your regular Thai dishes, occasional inserts of random Western dishes, and a whole menu of sweet and colourful drinks that you would typically see in Bangkok. Nothing too out of the norm.

But the recent introduction of this Tom Yum UFO got everyone going gaga over. More than just a steamboat, it has four separate pockets on the circumference of the pot, and in its pocket are complements to the steamboat.

The UFO comes in three variations – all meat (THB499), regular seafood (THB579) and premium seafood (THB799). Whichever variation you are going to order, they all come with the extra ingredients on the outside – cheese, corn, quail eggs and seaweed soup.

San Sab probably got this inspiration from famous K-bbq Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong, which is famous for the addition of cheese, corn and steamed eggs on the outer pockets of their grills.

Unfortunately, the whole pot didn’t taste as good as it looked in pictures. We went for the premium seafood version, but it was not worth THB799 at all. The big prawns as pictured were far from fresh, and while the tom yum soup tasted decent, it was nothing much to shout about. But we made ours a tad better by adding the cheese to the soup, and the melted goodness added a nice sweetness to the soup.

Stick to the regular version and don’t bother “splurging” on the expensive version. It still makes a fun meal with pals, and its location makes it a convenient spot for a quick dinner.

Located on level four of Siam Paragon in Bangkok, Nuer Koo is known for its premium beef noodles, with prices ranging from THB170 for the sirloin to a whopping THB950 for a bowl of Kobe beef noodles.

In Bangkok, a city that is famous for its delicious and cheap street food, you can easily get a bowl of beef noodles from any street stalls for THB30. So with Nuer Koo charging relatively more for beef noodles – is it worth your money?

The beef comes in different cuts such as sirloin (THB170), under-rib (THB350) ribeye (THB 450), Australian Wagyu (THB 550), and Kobe (THB950). You pick your preferred cut, then choose the carbs add-on. There’s a choice of Japanese steamed rice, but the wiser choice is to go for noodles (both flat and slim ones work) that comes in a bowl of fragrant, savoury broth.

There is also a traditional beef broth noodles (THB85)  option – which is a friction of the cost of the premium beef noodles.

We went for the Ribeye Beef Noodles and it sure lived up to expectations. The ribeye beef came soaked in a bowl of warm and rich beef broth. Every slice was slightly under cooked with its marbling well retained.

Everything was gone in a flash. Killed it in less than five. Our only gripe was the small portions and we’d probably need at least two bowls to be full.

Continue filling yourselves up, we say! That was what we did.

Beef rice bowls, darling. Glorious beef rice bowls!

Nuer Koo’s Australian Wagyu Rice Bowl (THB 570) has their own version with slices of (slightly overcooked) beef and sweet onions. Not too keen on well done beef, and maybe that’s why the beef bowl disappointed us a little. And there could have been a runny onsen egg too. Nonetheless, still a decent one if noodles ain’t your thing.

The beef noodles may be pricey by Bangkok’s standard, but by its quality and taste, it is still considerably reasonable, especially when we are talking about premium beef cuts such as wagyu and kobe.

A dessert heaven for those with a sweet tooth, Mr. Jones’ Orphanage in Bangkok is decorated with fun soft toys with a low-ceiling whimsical interior, supposedly modelled after a children’s orphanage.

Fret not, Mr Jones’ Orphanage actually got its name from a children’s book and the main goal of this dessert cafe is to instil nostalgia and send you back to your warm and carefree childhood.

By now, Mr Jones’ Orphanage should be no stranger if you frequent Bangkok. We, too, are no exception. Every time we visit Bangkok, we find ourselves hooked in by the unique interior that stood out amongst the edgier high fashion shops in Siam Centre.

Every cosy wooden booth has an adorable teddy bear awaiting your company, and we found fun in such simple joys.

Sure, not everything tastes fantastic here. We were disappointed a few times, but in general, the cakes on the menu are extremely affordable and the menu ranges from decadent chocolate mud pies to fruity crepes and waffles. There is something for every dessert lover here.

While the Strawberry Sponge Cake (100 baht, S$4) looked a tad ordinary, the cake itself sure wasn’t. Digging into it was like cutting into spongy perfection. The cake layer was light yet extremely delicious. The acidity of the strawberry and the sauce lifted this amazing slice of heaven to the next level.

We also had the Red Velvet Cake (120 baht, S$4.80) which has a nice balance of tart and sweetness from the gorgeous red cake layer and the cream cheese frosting.

Mr. Jones’ Orphanage is somewhere we know we will always return to when in Bangkok. The whimsical interior and abundance of teddy bears are sure mood lifters, and if you haven’t already visited, mark this place down for your next Bangkok trip!
