Raspberry Paradiso Croissant
Croffle Macadamia
Black Croissant, Soft Cream, Pistachio
Although there is a location now at ICONSiam it is out on Ratchaphruek Road that Chef Pachara Thakerngkiat made his name, training at Le Cordon Blue and success on Iron Chef making Croissants so sought-after that lines aren’t uncommon and nor are sell-outs by noon.
Opened January before the pandemic, a difficult time since forgotten in the wake of success, it is upon entry that guests are offered seating in a sizable space with table service that is both charming and efficient.
A quiet place good for small-talk or telecommuting, with a menu that moves fluidly from sweet to savory, it is with Coffee that most partake in Viennoiserie including plain and filled Croissants such as Raspberry Paradiso or a black version featuring Matcha Cream.
Also offering Croffles, or laminated Dough pressed in an iron beneath assorted toppings, James’ newest addition features a hemisected Croissant of choice with its honeycomb interior filled by Soft Serve and toppings including crumbled Pistachios.
