Best breakfast in Sukhumvit: a local guide to mornings near Asok

Sukhumvit is where a lot of Bangkok lives and works, and breakfast here needs to fit around real days: a meeting at Asok, a school run, a slow Saturday. This guide covers what a good breakfast in Sukhumvit looks like, and how to make the most of a morning at The Deck on Soi 20.

Breakfast at Sukhumvit, without the traffic

Most of Sukhumvit Road is noise and heat by 9am. The side sois are where breakfast gets better. Soi 20 is a short walk from the BTS but quiet enough that you can hear yourself think, and The Deck has a shaded garden terrace plus an air-conditioned bistro, so you can choose your table by the weather.

When to come

Doors open at 7:30am every day. Before 10:30am the early bird set is ฿160⁺⁺, which is the best value way to eat breakfast in Sukhumvit. Mid morning is laptop and meeting time. From late morning it turns into brunch, and breakfast keeps going until 2pm, so there is no race to order before the kitchen switches over.

What to order

For the classic

Eggs Benedict, eggs any way you like them, or a three egg omelette with your choice of fillings. Add toast and a coffee and you are set.

For the hungry

The brunch plates on our breakfast menu are built for a late start and a long day.

For the sweet tooth

Pancakes, ordered as a stack or by the piece.

For a local start

The Thai breakfast section, with rice and noodle dishes that Bangkok has been eating in the morning for generations.

Bringing the family or the dog

Kids have their own menu, and on Sundays our Kids Club runs from 11am to 2pm. Dogs are welcome in the garden, and our pet menu means they get breakfast too.
