DAVIN CAFE ดาวิน คาเฟ่

Davin Cafe is a two-storey coffee house on Soi Khlong Lam Chiak, beside the Ram Inthra expressway frontage road in Bueng Kum, fitted out like a ruined warehouse: granite-look columns with neon tubes bent into Ionic capitals, broken concrete walls patched with glass, copies of the Venus de Milo and Michelangelo's David, and separate slow and fast coffee bars. It opens 08:30 to midnight daily, and from 18:00 the in-house Vinsens bar mixes cocktails for guests aged 20 and over; the café's own site gives both midnight and 02:00 as the bar's closing time.

The signature drinks are Black Orange, mandarin juice over the house Davin Blend No.2 espresso, and Coco Night, coconut water with espresso, and the café says its decaf won a Great Taste award. One guide puts lattes from about 140 baht. The food menu runs to more than 40 Thai and European dishes; Wongnai members pick the fruit cheesecake, the blueberry cheese pie and a dish called The Foundation at 280 baht.

Parking is the practical draw for groups: the site claims room for more than 150 cars, with staff guiding you from the lot. Reviewers say weekends get crowded and prices reflect the setting. Pets are not allowed inside. Google rates it 4.6 from about 1,500 reviews.
