Calling out all cookie monsters: The Rolling Pinn by Pinnjan will take you to cloud nine with their repertoire of soul-stirring, palate-pleasing cookies, like the Baby OG Valrhona milk chocolate cookie touched with crushed toasted hazelnuts, and the Hella Nutella, which is a macadamia cookie smeared generously with a dollop of creamy hazelnut spread. What takes these treats to a whole ‘nother level though is the added flakey sea salt, which gives perfect crunch as well as a salty contrast to what would otherwise be a jaw-aching sweetness.

The doughnut shop CREAM by Flour Flour is Bangkok’s sister store to Chiang Mai’s cool-hip bakery ‘Flour Flour,’ and it is not here to be another Dunkin’ Donuts, but rather a new haven for Bomboloni, an Italian fried dough filled with cream lava. Featuring over six flavours just for a stellar start – cinnamon, vanilla, kinako roasted soybean flour, salted caramel, chocolate, and lemon meringue – dessert devotees can go to town and try all of them in the complete set, too. Diners can either stop by their shop on Silom 7 Road or order in through Line so you don’t even need to shed sweat.

For confections with new tweaks, try Bake A Cake. The shop is often, if not always, coming up with fresh delightful creations to wow sugar monsters — evidenced in this marian plum-studded cake, which is one of their signatures. The vast menu selection also includes fruit tarts, pavlova smothered with a cloud of whipped cream and berries, brownies, and even the golden-brown caramel custard cake. Orange skin-speckled marmalade jam here is also a must-have item in your pantry if you’re a true toast & jam connoisseur.
