Konnichipan Bakery
183 Chakrabongse Rd, Talat Yot, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200
Treat this as a breakfast or mid-morning detour, not a sit-down stop. Get the almond croissant and an apricot danish, take them across to a Chakrabongse Road coffee shop, and you have an old-town Bangkok morning for under 100 baht. The pain au chocolat is the safer pick if the almond is gone.
The shop sits on Chakrabongse Road in Talat Yot, a quiet stretch on the river side of Khao San, and you reach the counter before you really register the smell of butter coming out of the back. Glass cases run along one wall. The bakers work somewhere behind them. Everything in front of you was baked that morning.
The family that runs Konnichipan is Japanese, and the bench has clearly worked across two grammars at once. French laminated dough sits next to Japanese-style sweet buns and savoury filled rolls. The almond croissant and apricot danish are the items that pull the most repeat traffic, and a plain croissant goes for around 37 baht, the pain au chocolat for around 40 baht. Most single breads stay between 20 and 40 baht.
It is a small shop.
Opening hours run 8 AM to 5 PM and the kitchen is closed on Sundays, which catches a lot of first-time visitors out. The best window is between 8:30 and 10, when the morning bake is fully on display and nothing is sold out yet. By noon the front case has visibly thinned, and the more popular pastries are usually gone before 2 PM, so an afternoon walk-up is a gamble.
This is not a cafe in the modern Bangkok sense. There is no big espresso programme, no co-working layout, no curated playlist. It is a bakery in the older sense of the word, and the value of the visit is the bread itself plus the walk through one of the quieter pockets of Phra Nakhon. Pair it with a coffee from one of the small Chakrabongse cafes and treat the bag as breakfast for the river.
