BARTELS Sathorn - Sourdough Sandwiches, Coffee & Juicery
167, 4-6 Soi Sathon 3, Thung Maha Mek, Khet Sathon, Bangkok 10120
BARTELS is the Bangkok outpost of a Scandinavian-owned brand founded by Dane Nicolai Bartels Thomsen, with open bakeries so you can watch production. The Sathorn branch runs across two floors in the Suan Phlu neighbourhood and offers the full lineup: sourdough sandwiches, open-faced options, cold-pressed juices made to order, and coffee roasted by PAGA micro roastery. Worth the Grilled Cubano and a cold-pressed juice.
BARTELS Sathorn occupies a two-floor space at 167/4-6 Soi Sathon 3 in the Suan Phlu neighbourhood of Sathorn, positioned across from the well-known cocktail bar Smalls. The Sathorn branch is the second Bangkok location for the brand, which also operates in Sukhumvit, Thonglor, Asok, True Digital Park, and multiple Phuket outposts, as well as Ho Chi Minh City.
The business was founded by Nicolai Bartels Thomsen, a Danish entrepreneur with experience in food and beverage across Asia and Europe. The brand identity is rooted in Scandinavian design and a rigorous approach to bread: no commercial yeast, no hybrid methods, and no shortcuts. Every loaf goes through 24 to 48 hours of natural fermentation, is shaped by hand daily, and is baked in open in-shop bakeries throughout operating hours. The guarantee the brand makes is that any bread you buy is no more than three hours out of the oven.
The menu centres on sourdough sandwiches, both grilled and open-faced, with savoury and sweet options. The Grilled Cubano, priced at 250 THB, is stacked with smoked ham, pickled cucumber, cheddar, parmesan, mayo, and mustard, served hot off the grill. The kitchen also produces smoked salmon bruschetta, Turkish eggs, and Greek yogurt bowls with fresh fruit. Vegan options are available. Cold-pressed juices are made to order rather than pre-bottled. Coffee is sourced from PAGA, a micro roastery.
The venue is also Instagram-active under the handle @bartels.thailand. The price range runs approximately 70 to 320 THB per person, and the Sathorn branch opens seven days a week from 7 AM to 6 PM. The two-floor layout, free Wi-Fi, and comfortable seating make it a practical base for working or lingering over brunch, and the Suan Phlu location puts it within easy reach of the Sathorn diplomatic and business district.
