20 of the best breakfast spots in Bangkok
Chu

Breakfast can be made delicious anywhere but for a gold standard of flavour and ‘grammability, Chu totally nails it. The venue offers drool-inducing morning staples like the Eggs Benedict and Pancake Breakfast.

Indulge in the all-day breakfast menu at Toby’s, a woodland home-style cafe nestled within Sukhumvit 38.

Tuck into the comfort of Bacon Rules; a plate of two eggs of your choice, maple-glazed bacon, smoked belly bacon, bacon sausage, short cut bacon, and even bacon jam. For those who love to stay healthy for breakfast, the Complicated Avocado comprising of a sourdough topped with smashed avocado, beetroot feta goat cheese puree, and poached egg will still certainly perk you right up. A few years ago, Toby’s also opened up a second branch in Saladaeng.
