San Rafael Café

The place is an architectural marvel, with a beautifully designed space that immediately stands out and creates a memorable first impression. The zen ambiance alone makes it worth visiting...it took us half an hour drive from downtown Bangkok. However, while the presentation is appealing, the food itself is fairly average and doesn’t quite live up to the expectations set by the stunning surroundings. It’s a great place to admire the design but the food could use more refinement.

Incredible! Our friends took us here, it is unusual, comfortable and unique. The design is modern and spacious. Coffee top rate, first class. The desserts are special and look like art instead of food. Croissants are as good as they are in France.

Purposely travel a far distance to get here & spent alot on transportation as I'm attracted by the outlook of this cafe & also how attractive their pastries are. The cafe is huge with 2 levels. Quite alot of varieties to choose from. Cakes & pastries and some hot dishes. The only thing worthy & delicious is the macadamia. Very fragrant with lots of nuts. The yuzu spell cake is a fail to me. Overly sweet & texture is too hard. The prices here are crazily overpriced. The quality is not equivalent with the price charged.

I went to the early hour of this cafe opened on Sunday to spent time with family. We had American Breakie with nice portion to share with with family. And hot tea pot with little glass. Sweets are so variety to select. They usually open from 07.00-18.00. Worth to be here in the timing with no crowded people surround.

It was far from my hotel, but it’s worth it to visit!!! I stayed at W hotel riverfront that day. I took a taxi. It was really a sunny day. But when I entered the coffee shop, the cafe was really cold enough. The cafe has many options to sit. Sit at the second floor was really recommended if you bring a family or friends more than 2 person. Their dirty coffee was really good! Many aesthetics spot to take a pict. Their toilet very calming & clean! I bought their coffee beans, it definitely worth to try at your home! 👍

The café has beautiful architecture, a lovely waterfall feature, and stunning interior design — truly impressive and worth a visit for the atmosphere. However, from my experience, the prices are quite high for the Thai standard of living. Of course, it’s a customer’s choice, but I feel it’s not great value for money considering local wages. We ordered two coffees and a butterfly pastry. My flat white was good — comparable to what I usually have at home — but the music was extremely loud, which really clashed with the calm and elegant setting. There are charging ports for customers, which is nice, but the loud music ruined the peaceful café experience. I noticed a group of people trying to have a meeting, but they had to raise their voices over the sound. I was about to order another coffee to enjoy with my pastry, but I simply couldn’t stand the volume anymore. The moment I stepped outside, it felt so peaceful — such a contrast to the noise inside. Beautiful place, but I wish they would lower the music to match the beauty of the space.

San Rafael is a fantastic cafe! They have a great selection of delicious pastries, and the coffee is excellent. The exterior of the cafe features a unique waterfall and beautiful wooden decor, making it stand out. Inside, it feels like a treehouse with a bird's nest-like seating area upstairs – very creative! The cafe is stunning with lots of photogenic spots. Plus, the parking lot is huge and very convenient. It's the perfect place for a weekend visit to enjoy desserts, coffee, and get some great photos for social media."

Beautiful café with a unique design! The atmosphere is really nice and relaxing. I tried the breakfast and some of their croissant – absolutely delicious and fresh. Especially the caramelized croissant loaf with macadamia nuts – buttery, crispy, and full of flavor. The place is spacious, with a great view and modern vibes. The architecture is impressive and gives a truly unique experience. Highly recommended if you're in Bangkok and looking for a stylish café to enjoy your meal or coffee.
