Our Guestbook
“ This tea room is integrated into Sofitel Sukhumvit Hotel on the ground floor. Two possible accesses, one by the hotel or directly from outside. If you wish to savor authentic French pastries, taste an Opera or a Saint-Honoré, then this address is made for you. You will find authentic mini-macaroons, chocolate, coffee, raspberry, pistachio, thai tea flavors and much more. Sometimes the pastry chef prepares variations by adapting recipes to Thailand. Baguettes are also good and croissant is correct. It’s possible to order sandwiches, salads or “quiche Lorraine”. Luxurythai.travel recommend this tea room to enjoy the afternoon or early evening around Sukhumvit nana area. Parade of pretty young women is endless. :D Downside is that they have somewhat whimsical hours… ”
“ We have afternoon tea set with selected teas. A small shop locates in Sofitel Sukhumvit Hotel. We got 12 hours parking free. Bakery and teas are great. A staff is nice. Only con we found is limited seats, so we need to use hotel sofa. ”
“ Great service with smiles, great dessert with different varieties. Nong, Tae and May always notice customer’s needs and were very attentive. ”
“ Comfortable, modern & quiet bakery/cafe inside Sofitel Sukhumvit near Soi 15. Easy to access by walk from BTS Asoke or you can drive with convenient parking. Assorted bakery, macaron (as it’s named), sandwiches, coffee or refreshment are available. ”
“ It was still pretty hot to sit outside in the morning. I asked for a toasted chocolate croissant and an iced latte. Both came out pretty well. They had me try the new coffee slushy almost tasted like a soft serve icecream. Please keep that in the menu! It was really refreshing and good. ”
“ I’ll be back here for an Americano (black coffee) even if I don’t stay here (Sofitel Sukhumvit). The Americano will always be served with a canele (my favourite French pastry), a chocolate cookie and a glass of cold water. You should be aware how difficult it is to get free water here in Bangkok. You have to pay for a bottle of mineral water, usually. Service was fast and friendly here and if you’re staying in this hotel, you can even order your complimentary drink in this cafe (red wine or white wine included). The decor reminded me of some Parisian cafe. They also served some nice pastry like the apple turnover and a great variety of macarons. ”
“ TLDR: absolutely LOVED what I tried. Friendly but the service level I observed for the customers before me wasn't good. Pretty decor and setup well for people watching Full review: Went here with my husband as part of our kid-free date day, a dessert break after shopping. We had Accor Plus membership which gives us 50% discount but the value-for-money assessment is based on the full price as not everyone has access to this discount. You can enter directly from the Sofitel driveway but the lobby is just gorgeous! The cafe itself was clean, neat and cute. There's plenty of space for strollers, wheelchairs, walkers, etc. I ordered the thai tea macaron and a Yuzu/apple/lemon tart. The macaron was good, but the tart was next-level amazing!!! I highly recommend it. It seemed to be a lemon meringue tart with the Yuzu and apple contained in the faux apple. The base was also delicious though note that you need to press your fork tines down to cut through it. It was the perfect ratio of sweet, tangy, cream and base. We also saw a lychee cake but unfortunately it was only sold whole (to be gifted for the Thai Mother's Day) and not available in single serves. Staff were friendly and professional with our dine-in experience. However, before that, while we waited our turn to order, I couldn't help but observe the service the customers before me received. They were ordering takeaway. One staff member had trouble keeping straight the customer's order and had to be corrected several times to the point I still clearly remember what it was 5 hours later... it was the rose, pistachio, and lemon. Then the staff member tried to stuff the macarons into a box in a way that, if they had continued for another couple seconds would have crushed the macarons. Note also that the hotel toilets are quite deep in the building though beautifully decorated ”
