If you’re looking for a spot that feels more like a friend’s living room than a sterile franchise, Goodfellas Thong Lo Cafe is a standout. Tucked directly under the Thong Lo BTS station (Exit 3), it’s a cozy, slightly moody sanctuary in one of Bangkok's busiest neighborhoods. Here is a breakdown of what to expect: The Vibe: Hipster-Cozy Goodfellas is a "cafe-meets-hostel" hybrid. It has a warm, vintage-industrial aesthetic with dark wood, leather sofas, and eclectic decor. It’s compact, which makes it feel intimate. Whether you’re dodging a sudden Bangkok downpour or waiting for a friend, the atmosphere is incredibly grounding. The Coffee & Menu Unlike many Thong Lo cafes that charge premium prices for the "aesthetic," Goodfellas remains surprisingly affordable. • The Coffee: Their Thai Espresso and Hot Lattes are consistently praised—rich, bold, and served with care. They also offer specialty filter options for the coffee nerds. • The Food: The menu focuses on "hearty and simple." • Breakfast Platter: A reliable, protein-heavy start to the day. • Pastries: Their croissants and carrot cake are crowd favorites. • Surprise Italian Influence: While it's a cafe, you'll often find Italian-inspired bites like sandwiches and even pasta/pizza options that are surprisingly authentic for a small shop. The Highlights • Prime Location: You literally cannot miss it if you’re at BTS Thong Lo. It’s the perfect "base camp" before exploring Sukhumvit 55. • Exceptional Staff: The team (often led by the owner, Shin) is famously friendly. It’s the kind of place where they remember your order if you visit twice. • Work-Friendly (Mostly): It has free Wi-Fi and a quiet enough atmosphere during the day for a quick laptop session, though it can get snug during peak hours. A Few Heads-Up • Cash is King: They generally don’t accept credit cards (though QR/PromptPay is usually fine), so keep some cash handy. • Opening Hours: They open early (great for a pre-work caffeine hit), but keep in mind it’s a hostel too, so the space can feel a bit lived-in.

Fantastic breakfast. I was able to order a custom Keto friendly breakfast of sausage, bacon and eggs. Great value and good coffee
