When I found this place I was really looking forward to eating here. I found on several reviews they open at 7:30am so I made sure I was there at 7:25am. Sure enough there is a sign on the door that states they open at 7:30am. I see the door open and some staff working about behind the counter. I walk in at 7:30 and was told they open at 8:00am. I pointed out the sign and was told “sorry, 8am.”

Well It was worth the wait. I order the French Toast with banana and Nutella. It was very good. It does not come with maple syrup but if you ask for it, they will bring you some.
The desserts look great and I definitely will return to try some of those!

On my most recent visit in summer 2019, I was informed they do not have wifi/internet connection on Saturday and Sunday.

Address: 388 Sukhumvit Rd, Bangkok

Directions: Located in the Exchange Tower across Sukhumvit road from Terminal 21

I stopped in on a hot afternoon for some ice cream. It is a very nice place with several floors of seating and counter service. They do have free wifi. I only wanted some chocolate ice cream and it was pretty good. Their baked goods are geared to Korean style as they are located in Korea Town.  A good place to stop for ice cream and free wifi.

Address: Sukhumvit rd and Soi 12

I was a bit intrigued by this restaurant. I mean, the two words really do not go together in any relation I can think of. So I gave it a try. I am glad I did. Walking in through a covered plant filled path brings you to some interesting signs relating to sex. Walking further in are several statues of different figures made of condoms.

But onto the food. They have two seating areas, indoor and outdoor. The outdoor has a pool of water and water fall down a wall. Very nice and I chose to sit outside. The start I had the chicken and corn taco. These were delicious. For the main course I had the Panang Chicken. This was also very good.

The only issue I had was that I was being bitten by mosquitoes during the entire meal. Toward the end, my waiter gave me a bottle of insect repellent. Great idea….even better if he gave it to me at the start of the meal instead of when I was finished.  I went back a second time and had the same starter because it was so good. For the main course on my second visit I had the Chicken and cashew dish. This also was very good.  Would definitely return again and again.

Favorite Dish: The corn and chicken taco. You get 9 small shells filled with this mixture. here’s a hint. To make them even tastier, squirt some fresh lime on each. WOW! So good

May 2015: This was my first stop for lunch. Food is still great. This time I ate inside. Very comfortable and most important no mosquitoes.

May 2017:  I stopped in again for lunch.  All I can say is they are very consistent with the taste of their food.  I ordered much of the same dishes this visit and still is a great option for lunch or dinner.  They have some new figures made from different color condoms.

Address: Sukhumvit 12 Alley, Khwaeng Khlong Toei, Khet Khlong Toei, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand

Hours: Monday through Sunday, 11:00am to 11:00pm.

This is a convenient and clean restaurant. Many people seem to stop here when making the walk from Wat Pho to the Grand Palace. The staff are very friendly and the food is served very fast. It was also reasonably priced. I ordered the Pad Thai. It was good but the noodles were a little “chewy.” I also had an iced green tea.

If you are looking for a quick place to eat walking between the two attractions, this is a decent place. I would not go out of my way though to eat here.

The Bloom Cafe is attached to the Dynasty Grande Hotel. They open at 7:30am so very convenient if you want to get out and start sightseeing early. The staff are very friendly and professional. The restaurant is very clean and modern.

I ate breakfast here two times. Each time I had the pancakes with banana. It was very good and filling. If I were to stay at the Dynasty Grande again I would eat breakfast at Bloom.
