Imagine this: a tropical or Caribbean haven right in heart of Bangkok.

Besides the novel experience of chilling above the water, you can also savour spectacular desserts from 100 to 250 baht and coffee from 85 baht, all served with a soothing river view.

More than a place for good coffee, Bico Cafe is a community space for bikers around Bangkok.

Fancy being served by robots? Hajime Robot Restaurant isn’t a cafe per se since it specialises in Japanese Yakiniku and Hotpot shabu-shabu meals, but it surely gives customers an interesting experience that shouldn’t be missed! So, if you’re looking for a more hearty meal, this is the place to go.
Order your food from the touch screen menu and sit back and watch as your friendly live-sized robot waiter zips in and brings orders to your table. Aside from serving up food, your robot waiter will also bust a move and dance every 30 minutes or so. Now talk about entertainment while dining!
