The Tide Cafe, Bang Saen

While some people may be born with a sweet tooth, I think I may have somehow developed two rows of shark-like sweet teeth. I can always seem to fit dessert into any meal, big or small. After having lunch, I checked out The Tide Cafe, located infront of the Tide Hotel at Bang Saen. This review will be for dessert at The Tide Cafe. Unfortunately, they did not allow photo taking inside the store. Fortunately, I still took photos =D.

Back of the Cafe

The Tide Cafe was almost fully seated (Around 5 tables on the first floor, seating 10-15 people) when we arrived and had a steady flow of customers coming in to buy pastries and cakes.

The Front Counter

The cakes here are delicious, although they aren't in the same league as Coffee Beans by Dao, Le Notre or Vanilla Industry, they cost around 70 baht a piece (25 for chocolates and truffles) and are worth every bite. Not like the spongey, plastic-tasting excuses for cakes that are served in most Thai coffee shops. They also serve up sandwiches, burgers and pasta.

 You can easily find this place by clicking on their website or searching for the Tide Hotel at Bang Saen on the web or in google maps. Price for the total of three cakes, two drinks and chocolates was around 400 baht. And yes, sometimes my desserts can be considered a meal.

Crepe Box, K Village Review

Of all the fine dining choices along the streets of Bangkok, 30 Baht Crispy Crepes and Fried Potato Fritters have to be some of my most favorites delights. If you have just landed here, be prepared to be overwhelmed by the street eats that are on offer on every corner and traffic light.

This is a review for Crepe Box at K Village. Located on the first floor of the trendy K Village, this small crepe store will definitely draw you in with its cute and quirky design. The menu consists of drinks, savory and sweet crepes. I have quite a large sweet tooth so I ordered the Banana and Nutella Crepe. The crepes here are made with whole wheat flour and the ingredients are all fresh. The crepe order comes along with a scoop of ice cream. But at 130 Baht a piece, they are definitely not to be compared with our local 30 Baht Crispy Crepes on Silom road.

My Crepe Being Made

The Crepe came in a small paper box with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, all cut up and ready to eat. It was overflowing with Nutella and Bananas, and drizzled with chocolate syrup.

If you happen to be around Emporium or the trendy K Village, Crepe Box will definitely deliver. The staff are all friendly and well trained, the crepes are delicious and nothing washed down a crepe better than a scoop of ice cream!
