Paris Mikki
27 Soi Sukhumvit 19, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Paris Mikki earns its loyal following the hard way: the pastry work is technically precise, the recipes are French in origin rather than French-inspired, and the price point sits above casual cafe territory. The Philip 70, a hazelnut-chocolate combination, is the kind of item that makes a return visit feel mandatory. Honestly, it is one of the stronger patisseries operating in the Asoke corridor.
Chef Carol studied and worked at Le Cordon Bleu Paris before opening what became one of Bangkok's more serious French patisserie operations. The flagship sits inside Metha Wathana Building on Sukhumvit Soi 19, a short walk from Asoke intersection. It serves breakfast through a full afternoon service, closing at 9PM daily.\n\nThe menu leans hard into classic French technique. Croissants pur beurre at B85 are laminated properly, with the kind of layered pull that signals real butter work rather than a shortcut. The mille-feuille at B190 is the item regulars track, because it sells out before the afternoon most days. St. Honore comes in at B280 and the tarte au chocolat at B165. All pastries are baked daily in limited numbers, which means arriving early matters if specific items are on the agenda.\n\nThe Philip 70 deserves a specific mention. It is a hazelnut and chocolate pastry that sits alongside the mille-feuille as a bestseller and frequently disappears before lunch. The format is small-counter French, not the sprawling dessert-cafe style common across Bangkok's Thonglor and Ekkamai strips.\n\nBK Magazine awarded Paris Mikki Best Croissant in 2016, Best Pastry in 2015, and Best Pastry Chef in 2017. The awards are now a few years old, but the operation has not softened. Two additional outlets have opened since: one inside Central Embassy's Open House and one at Central World, which gives options if the Soi 19 location has already sold out by the time you arrive.\n\nPractical note: the Asoke outlet closes Mondays. The other two locations do not, so the weekly schedule differs across branches. If a specific pastry is the goal, calling ahead on +66 88 870 0020 is faster than showing up and finding the display case half-empty.
