Toby's Sukhumvit 38
75 Sukhumvit 38 Alley, Khwaeng Phra Khanong, Khet Khlong Toei, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
The Breakfast Board at Toby's arrives with two eggs cooked any style, smoked ham, cured salmon, avocado, fresh berries, sourdough, and tomato salsa, shareable between two. Avocados are imported from New Zealand and the sourdough comes from Conkey's, an Australian bakery in Ekamai. The outdoor terrace and brick-house character pull a steady crowd of Thong Lor-area locals and expats who come as much for the flat white as for the food.
You arrive at Toby's on Sukhumvit 38 and the building announces itself immediately: red brick walls, hanging foliage, warm wooden tones, and a terrace that catches the morning light on the quiet alley. The address is 75 Sukhumvit 38 Alley in Phra Khanong, reachable on foot from BTS Thong Lor in about 15 minutes. The kitchen runs an all-day Australian-style breakfast and brunch format with a menu built around ingredient sourcing. The avocados used across multiple dishes are imported from New Zealand. Sourdough comes from Conkey's, an Australian bakery based in Ekamai. The house seasonal coffee blend is made from three types of beans from Ethiopia, Honduras, and Thailand and is exclusive to this cafe, meaning the blend is not available at any other location in the world. The Breakfast Board is the centerpiece order: two eggs cooked to your preference with smoked ham, cured salmon, avocado, fresh berries, sourdough bread, and tomato salsa. At B395 it works comfortably as a share between two people. The Egg Mikado puts poached eggs on sourdough with house-cured salmon, hollandaise, and salmon roe. The Crispy French Toast uses brioche topped with house-made vanilla ice cream, nuts, and fresh berries. Australian iced coffee at B150 layers vanilla ice cream with a cup of coffee, an introduction to the Down Under coffee format for anyone new to it. The menu also covers smashed avocado with poached egg, spicy chorizo, and avocado salsa on sourdough; a Dark Choc Brownie Affogato with brownie, vanilla ice cream, marshmallow, and an espresso shot; and the Bacon Rules dish that repeat visitors point to for the bacon-forward crowd. Toby's Facebook page at facebook.com/tobysbkk carries 19,000 followers and the Instagram handle is @tobysbkk. The cafe operates with outdoor seating and in-store pickup available. Weekend mornings fill quickly, so arriving before the mid-morning rush is the practical play for anyone who wants a terrace seat.
