Recent-Openings Update: Bangkok's Quiet Week, New Cafés by Rama 9 and Arabica Specialists
This update highlights a restrained batch of new café arrivals in Bangkok: a glasshouse retreat with homestyle pastries in Rama 9 and a meticulously sourced coffee purveyor now brewing Arabica.
For the week of October 12, 2026, Bangkok sees a pause in restaurant debuts, but two specialty cafés are making their entrance notable. This concise selection showcases a newly-opened garden café enclave on Rama 9 and the arrival of an international name recognized for hand-roasted 100% Arabica coffees. Both newcomers offer a distinct take on quiet indulgence amid the city’s pace.
Cafe Lom
Nestled within the green expanse of Raintree Office Garden along bustling Rama 9, Cafe Lom stands out as a glasshouse oasis amid office towers and traffic. This new café carves a restful niche for city dwellers looking to unwind. A defining feature is its homemade pastries, made from recipes belonging to the owner’s aunt, lending a comforting, familial quality that sets it apart from typical commercial bakeries.

Bacha Coffee
Bacha Coffee’s latest Bangkok outpost adheres strictly to 100% Arabica specialty beans, regarded as the highest grade worldwide. Of interest to decaf drinkers, their decaffeinated coffee is crafted using a natural CO₂ extraction process. Every coffee harvest undergoes hand-roasting with traditional, slow, low-temperature drum methods—each batch cooled in fresh air for optimal preservation—reflecting a focus on nuance and artisanal care.
