Crookies, the viral pastry hybrid — or Frankenstein — between croissant and chocolate chip cookies, have generated a lot of buzz online. Hopping on the trend, cafes and bakeries across Bangkok are also whipping up this croissant-cookie mash-up. Here are some of the places where you can find the best crookies in Bangkok.
Dessert trends in Bangkok are like a rollercoaster, from lava buns and Basque cheesecake to culinary monsters like deformed bubble tea-inspired treats. While scrolling down our TikTok the other day, we came across a new pastry trend: the crookie, a viral pastry that marries the flaky croissant dough with gooey chocolate chips.
Where to find best crookies in Bangkok
Day by Kay’s
Kay’s has become synonymous with Bangkok’s brunch scene, with its high-quality ingredients and photogenic vibe, thanks to its abundance of natural light. Last year, they branched out to Sukhumvit 49 with sister brand Day by Kay’s, specialising in sweet treats and pastries. Their croissant cookie, or crookie, features a good combination of both, seeing butter-rich flaky dough blended with gooey chocolate.
Sukhumvit 49. Opening Hours: Daily 7:30am – 5:30pm. Tel. +6695-859-4496. You can find information via Day by Kay’s Instagram.
Ayla
Located inside Kronos Building on Sathorn Road, Ayla cafe whips up both classic and fancy French pastries–we’re a fan of their Chai Latte especially. Their crookies (THB250), you guessed it, sport similar patterns to those on our list–think croissants laden with gooey chocolate.
46 North, S Sathon Rd, Silom, Bang Rak. Opening Hours: Daily 8am-5pm. You can find information via Ayla’s Instagram.
Flaneur Tea
Don’t let the name fool you. Despite their tea-centric name, this urban oasis cafe does not only specialise in herbal drinks. Hop by to their front lawn and order their croissant-cookie pastry to pair with their wide array of organic teas, and immerse yourself into the scenery while your boss pings you on Slack.
Sathorn, Pan Rd, Silom, Bang Rak, Bangkok. Opening Hours: Tue – Sun 9am-6pm. Tel. +6698-262-6245. You can find more information via Flaneur Tea’s Instagram.
Brix Dessert Bar
Originally opened at The Commons Thonglor, this dessert specialist is praised for their decadent, buttery rich brioche. Featuring a genuine cookie chunk reminiscent of soft cookies, their crookie mash-up seamlessly blends the good sides of both worlds–think, the crunchy flakes from the croissant followed by the chunky chocolate from the cookies.
G/F Siam Paragon, 991 Rama I Rd, Pathum Wan, Bangkok. Opening Hours: 10am-9:30pm. You can find more information via Brix Dessert Bar’s Instagram.
Dawn to Dusk
Krungthep Kritha, despite having the word Krungthep in it, is not close to the city’s centre at all. However, this cafe may give you enough reasons to grab your car keys and drive there, due to their lush green outdoor garden. Like always, Dawn to Dusk is quick to hop on the trend. Their crookies promise a long list of high-quality ingredients–including the French butter Isigny–and even offers two variations of it: The Chocolate Chunk is your go-to if you love the crunchy side of the croissant, while the Chocolate Dream, like its name suggests, showcases 58% and 78% dark chocolate and crunchy almond slides.
