Where to find best sandwiches in Bangkok
VIVIN Grocery
VIVIN is a beloved dining spot in Bangkok for their being a hub for artisanal Thai ingredients, now imagine those ingredients jammed together in one bite. While they have an extensive selection of hot sandwiches, we urge you to try the Double Duck Sandwich, created using home-made duck liver mousse with cognac, home-made dried duck breast, organic mulberry and plum jam, dill pickles, red onion pickles, AOP French butter, fleur de sel, Kampot pepper. Choose between the Parisian baguette and Viennese bread, and you’re set.
You can find more information at VIVIN Grocery.
Holey Artisan Bakery
With more than seven years in the business, Holey Artisan Bakery specialises in one thing and one thing only: bread menu that makes you go “Holey sh*it, this is good.” We strongly recommend the the Cubano Panino, made using smoked ham, all-belly porchetta, dry cured bacon, pickles, jalapeños, and cheddar cheese hot-pressed between two Sourdough panini.
You can find more information at Holey Artisan Bakery.
Bartels
Ah, Bartels—with their succulent, homemade sourdough, along with their freshly-juiced drinks, we remember it as if it were yesterday. Oh wait, it was yesterday, as we simply cannot deny their amazing selection of sandwiches. Their “Sweet Ham & Brie” is made from their homemade sweet onion chutney, artisan smoked Chiang Mai ham, smooth brie cheese, all placed in between their blonde sourdough that has been delicately slathered with salted butter. Heaven, you’re in heaven.
You can find more information at Bartels.
Sarnies Sourdough
Sarnies Sourdough offers amazing sourdough, and what they put in between the buns is equally mouthwatering. The Muffuletta is packed with smoked bacon, salami, creamy homemade stracciatella, sun-dried tomatoes, and an umami miso pesto. Just one bite—it’s so good, it might just make a broken heart glue back its own pieces.
You can find more information at Sarnies Sourdough.
Larder
When it comes to artisanal bread and great charcuterie, Larder doesn’t disappoint. These two things combined make the amazing sandwiches they have on the menu. Go classic with the double ham and cheese, or maybe something refreshing like the sourdough with pate and brie. The must-try, however, is their Croque Khun Poo Ying, which is basically their croque madame. Worth every baht.
You can find more information at Larder.
Rocket Coffeebar
Go for the coffee, stay for the Club Sandwich. With fork-tender chicken, crispy bacon, and Paris ham sandwiched between their house-made white bread, you’re in brunch heaven. And if you’re in the mood for something a bit more simple, their ham and cheese melt is not easy to put down, either.
You can find more information at Rocket Coffeebar.
Lucky 13 Sandwich
Lucky 13 Sandwich at Sukhumvit Soi 50 specialises in making sandwiches, and boy, are they good at making them. We recommend jumping straight in with the American Breakfast Toastie for a heartwarming, filling meal, or opt for the ham & cheese toastie if you’re a fan of the classics—you can be sure that cheese is gooey, and melting just how you’ll like it.
You can find more information at Lucky 13 Sandwich.
Havana Social
Of course, we know Havana Social for its extensive selection of rums and being one of the party destinations in Bangkok, but their signature Cubano sandwich brings all the boys of Havana to the yard. Served with crispy empanadas, it’s best with a cocktail in hand. We don’t make the rules.
You can find more information at Havana Social.
Café Tartine
Expect no fusion because Café Tartine is all about French fare, spanning breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Who would’ve thought to put beef bourguignon in a sandwich? They did, and it’s phenomenal. Marinated beef in red wine, carrots, celeries, onions, tomatoes, bacon, mushroom, and blue cheese—all put together nicely between two pieces of bread.
You can find more information at Café Tartine.
Vistro Bangkok
Vegans need love too, and the Vagyu Sando at Vistro Bangkok is the best plant-based love letter we know. It’s one of the local favourites for a reason. Don’t forget to grab a slice of butterfly pea cheesecake on your way back.
You can find more information at Vistro Bangkok.
Luka Bangkok
Luka? We do know ha. Their sandwiches are immaculate, filled with quality ingredients, and very inventive. The Grilled Halloumi and Aubergine Sandwich is made with grilled halloumi, fried battered aubergine, zingy cucumber tzatziki chipotle mayo between two toasted sourdough, and served with some rocket. And who could forget their Green Goddess Grilled Cheese that is filled to the brim with cheesy mozzarella?
You can find more information at Luka Bangkok.
Broccoli Revolution
If you’re tired of tofu, turn to tempeh for a change of flavour. The Vegan Tempeh Banh Mi at Broccoli Revolution should be your go-to, or perhaps the Chickpea Tuna Sandwich will do you good. The mix of veggies, the vegan mayonnaise, the good, good sourdough—the brunch options are limited by only your imagination (and their pantry, but you get the idea).
You can find more information at Broccoli Revolution.
Old Town Cafe Bangkok
The Old Town coffee shop is known for their toothsome matching of baguette sandwiches with caffeinated drinks. The venue makes succulent grilled meat, which they smartly pair with a crusty baguette to maximise the textures as well as rounded tastes. As per the name, it’s perfect to soak in the old town vibes as you’re having a good ol’ sandwich.
