Not only one of the best cafes in Bangkok but an amazing respite from the urban jungle and perhaps worth a sightseeing visit alone. Agalico is the brainchild of renowned Thai landscaper and interior designer ML Poomchai Chambala, who did the Mrigadayavan Palace gardens and the Boathouse in Hua Hin. Chambala spent many years in England and loved tea, and the result of that time is a Jane Austen fantasy, a beautiful gazebo set amidst lush gardens where the Bangkok elite come to escape. What started as a meeting place for Chambala's friends evolved, and he further graces the spot with his baking talents as well, providing scones and cakes that are superb. Agalico is only open from Friday-Sunday though, so plan accordingly.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Bangkok Local Expert
- Cafés: "The gazebo tea room is lovely, but you will need to come early if you want a seat, otherwise settle for the non AC garden. Additionally, the cakes and scones are usually sold out by the late afternoon."
- Best for Cafés Because: For Bangkok's best kept secret tea room, Agalico's is a must.
