Charoenkrung is a magnet for cute cafes; the latest to join the fold is Homu, where traditional Japanese wahashi (confections) are served up in a brick shop-house fronted by bright blue shutter doors. Rope, rattan, leafy plants and distressed paintwork complete the rustic look.

Try the strawberry dai fuku (B95) stuffed with red bean paste or the buranan (B95)—a tofu cream pudding with Hokkaido milk—before moving on to a range of delicious matcha dumplings (B120) and beautiful clear mochi (B150), best-paired with signature floral tea (B130).
