KANE T. - Hua Mak 17

About KANE T. - Hua Mak 17

KANE T. Hua Mak 17 is a Japanese-style matcha café and bakery on Soi Hua Mak 17 in Bang Kapi, near Rama 9 Road. The inside is minimalist with wood accents, a counter bar and tables, and there is an outdoor garden with stone paths. Reviewers describe the room as spacious and warm, and especially cozy on rainy days.

The main draw is matcha. You can choose between Kagoshima Chiran, which is fresh and light, and Saga Ureshino, which is smooth and aromatic, served clear, as a latte or with coconut. There is also coffee and baked goods such as shio pan, bagels, croissants and cakes. Wongnai puts it at ฿101-250 per person, with iced Chiran clear matcha at ฿180.

It suits a quiet daytime date for matcha lovers, sharing a drink and a pastry in the garden or at the counter. Go in the morning or early afternoon, since it closes around 17:00-18:00. With plenty of parking, it is easy to reach by car.
