There’s no denying, desserts come with a dose of happiness.

And for those of us who are currently dealing with a new wave of stress, if you ask us, the best remedy always lies in the sugar-laden foodstuff – say. chocolate chip cookies, pecan pie, fudgy brownies, cinnamon buns, and more. 

So if you have a big sweet tooth or low-key need to break free from all the pandemic tension, even just temporarily, get (sugar)high with our selection of best treats from around Bangkok. These dessert shops are here to tackle your sweet strike and keep your mental health in check through tough times.

Cafe SOU

Desserts at Cafe SOU looks like they’ve just transported from an old-school American cookbook. They boast this vintage look with colours so vibrant that they would cheer you up just to look at. And although the shop is yet to open to the public from 30 May, you can now place your order through their Facebook page to get the goodies delivered right to your door. We recommend going with the plain yet amazingly toothsome Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie. It’s divine.

Oh Vacoda Cafe

Oh Vacoda is all about avocado and nothing but avocado. The Ari cafe dishes up everything with the green goddess fruit like Pad Kapao (THB 190) served with deep-fried breaded avocado and the Avoothie (THB 150) which is a smoothie made entirely from avocados. Their new menu features Avocado Cheesecake, which is highly instagrammable and almost too cute to eat. They’re open for delivery.

Orange Bliss Cafe

Who needs a plain sunny-side-up egg when you can gorge on the sweeter, more scrumptious version like this Sunny Up Cookie from Orange Bliss Cafe.
