Then to my surprise; they renovated the place (which as not been seen it was open in 1979). Its much more modern, homey but a still a bit kitsch. With big windows; more light streams in, the space itself is welcoming. They offer free wi-fi. The Thai food is simple, very good and affordable. The pastries are unique like coconut cake, pandas cake, or chocolate & banana cake, etc.; and they are very yummy. I have a been a fan ever since.
It was Saturday but I had so much work to finish. So, I decided to have lunch at Pak Bakery and at the same time do some work (thank goodness for the free wi-fi).
I ordered a Pad Thai. I like Pak Bakery's pad thai because its a bit dry and not too oily. A nice portion with big shrimps. The rice noodles were cooked just right, and the spices made a good combination of sweet, sour and spicy. It was quite good.
For my dessert to go with my coffee; I ordered the cocoa cake. Amazingly indulgent but what is so nice about this cake is that it is not too sweet, which is what I hate about most Thai cakes. The chocolate cake itself is very moist and the cocoa topping is soft and creamy. A great combination.
The cappuccino that would keep me awake to finish my work.
Pak Bakery is not only known for its sweet pastries but also for its savoury pastris. I always have their beef pie for a snack or their pork & mushroom bun is delicous. The choices for the sweet and savoury pastries are huge, which is good for me so that I keep returning and try every single one.

Great little restaurant,always good to see someone doing something right.Nice meals,great pasries.good value whorth a visit or two.
Nice read about Pak Bakery in Bangkok! It’s interesting how this place has evolved from a simple local bakery into a cozy café serving both Thai dishes and a wide variety of pastries. The mix of pad Thai, cakes, and baked goods makes it feel like a true neighbourhood comfort spot rather than just a bakery.
It’s great to see how these long-standing bakeries continue to adapt while keeping their homey charm. In the wider bakery ecosystem, suppliers like Jagota Thailand also support food businesses by providing quality ingredients that help maintain consistency and freshness, especially in the growing Premium Frozen Bakery in Thailand sector.
Thanks for sharing this nostalgic Bangkok bakery story—always nice to discover these hidden gems!
