Where to find the Best Pancakes in Bangkok

My fondness for pancakes dates back to my childhood at around 7 years old. I vividly remember asking my mom to buy me hotcakes from Jocel’s every Tuesday and Saturday. Occasionally, she would whip them up at home, serving as a delightful afternoon snack paired with a dip in my milk. Additionally, a local vendor in my hometown sold pancakes right after school, creating a cherished routine for my classmates and me as we walked home.

What captivates me about pancakes is their irresistibly soft texture and the convenience of rolling them up for a delightful on-the-go treat. Each bite brings forth a warm and joyful feeling, reminiscent of the simple pleasures from my childhood memories. In contemporary times, pancakes have evolved with healthier fillings such as blueberries, walnuts, and creative combinations like pairing them with eggs, bacon, and creme fraîche – a perfect way to kickstart the day or weekend.

Despite the chilly weather, the warm aroma emanating from the vendor’s shop lured me to wait in line for a taste. It was well worth it, and I’ve even mastered making it at home during the last season of the pandemic.

#2. Fran’s pancakes are so damn good—so fluffy and moist. Not only do they serve excellent brunch, but the restaurant next door happens to be my favorite. Second, actually, my Vietnamese friend’s cooking is the best.

I am confident there are more cafes that serve great pancakes, and I’m still on my journey to discover more options and update this list in the near future. Meanwhile, I hope you can give these cafes a try, as I guarantee that especially numbers 1-4 are a perfect choice.
