Bang Saen offers more than white sandy beaches and seafood restaurants, it’s also bustling with cafes worth checking out. We have you covered on that.
Located in Muang Chonburi, eastward of Bangkok, Bang Saen has been a popular tourist destination with locals for decades. It’s the closest beach you can get to from Bangkok. It’s not too far from Pattaya, and coupled with the number of good dining spots and boutique hotels, it’s no wonder it’s visited by both locals and a growing number of international visitors on the regular.
Beyond the beach, one thing people may not know is that Bang Saen has a very vibrant cafe culture, and we’re here to show you the most Instagrammable coffeeshops in Bang Saen you should put on that bucket list.

Highway Cafe
Not in the mood for a cup of joe? A milkshake might just be the right thing for you.

Nijihouse
It’s like they got Muji to design their interior in the best sense possible. Nijihouse offers a minimalist, pastel-filled venue as quite a stark contrast to all the loaded, maximalist cafes around Bang Saen.

Nomisuke had made headlines in local publications for bringing the spirit of Japan into one Bang Saen cafe. Come in the afternoon for some good matcha drinks, gyoza, and taiyaki. Stay until dinner time as they turn into a ramen restaurant with the vibes of an Osaka dining spot. The absolute highlight is the matcha yuzu soda perfect for a hot day, and a chocolate taiyaki to pair.
