Simply Basic Coffee Shop is a cafe located at Phetchaburi 15 Alley in Ratchathewi, Bangkok.
The cafe actually stands out from other shops as their exterior is beautifully decorated.
I stumbled upon the cafe while walking back to my hotel from Pantip Plaza. In fact, this cafe is just a ten minutes walk away from The Platinum Fashion Mall. When I entered the cafe, there were rows of snacks and tidbits being stacked up neatly in baskets by the side of the entrance. You could either consume the snacks in the cafe, or takeaway. Some of the snacks could be easily found in Thailand supermarkets and were a little too pricey.
Their menu, however, was simple. It consists of just some handmade sandwiches and drinks ranging from soft drinks, coffee to tea.
I ordered the Iced Matcha Latte (Forgotten the price of it, but definitely cost less than $5sgd) and Ham sandwiches.
The Iced Matcha Latte was good. But the Ham Sandwiches was the one worth mentioning.
The sandwiches were served in traditional bakery soft white bread without the edges and were prepared on the spot and even though it was just a simple sandwich with butter, mayonnaise, ham and cheese, the sense that it was handmade with love made the food tasted even better.
Along the street where the cafe is currently located, there are a handful of popular traditional Thai massage shops; so if you happened to be at that area looking for a place to relax and recharge yourself after the massage session, do look out for this cafe!
