Audrey Café
French-Vintage Elegance Meets Thai Flavors
Audrey Café isn’t just one destination — it’s 8 distinct French-inspired experiences scattered across Bangkok, each honoring the timeless elegance of Audrey Hepburn while embracing Thailand’s culinary creativity. Founded by Janista Lewchalermvongse (Bam), Audrey Café pioneered Bangkok’s French-vintage café culture with a vision: “One Audrey One Personality” — every branch offers a unique atmosphere while maintaining the signature blend of Thai-European fusion cuisine, elegant afternoon tea traditions, and romantic French bistro charm.
Unlike specialty coffee roasters, Audrey Café focuses on full bistro dining experiences — think Eggs Benedict alongside Boat Noodles, Coq au Vin next to Tom Yum, and French pastries sharing space with Thai fusion signatures like Ramen Pad Thai. Whether you’re recovering from a medical procedure and craving a calm, air-conditioned refuge with comfortable seating, or simply seeking an Instagram-worthy brunch with gold chandeliers (Central Embassy) or flower-garden whimsy (EmQuartier), Audrey Café delivers refined comfort across Bangkok.
For medical tourists: All mall branches offer full wheelchair accessibility, direct BTS skywalk connections, and proximity to Bumrungrad International Hospital (1-4 BTS stops). Weekday afternoons (14:00-16:00) provide the calmest atmosphere for post-recovery relaxation.

The Audrey Experience
What Makes Audrey Café Special
Audrey Café occupies a unique position in Bangkok’s dining scene — not a coffee-focused third-wave roastery, but a French-vintage bistro where Thai comfort food shares menu space with European classics. The vision honors Audrey Hepburn’s timeless elegance through romantic French décor, while the kitchen celebrates Thailand’s culinary identity through bold fusion experiments.
The “One Audrey One Personality” Concept: No two branches are identical. Central Embassy dazzles with gold chandeliers and crystal accents like a Parisian palace. EmQuartier embraces garden-themed florals and whimsical installations. Thonglor Soi 11 anchors the brand with classic bistro warmth. Each space feels distinctly Audrey — elegant, feminine, romantic — yet offers its own character.
The Food Philosophy: Where else can you order Fried Crispy Pork Knuckle with Chilli & Basil (a beloved Thai drinking snack) alongside Coq au Vin (French wine-braised chicken)? Audrey’s menu fearlessly blends Thai street food favorites (Boat Noodles, Tom Yum) with European bistro staples (pizzas, pastas, Eggs Benedict) and fusion signatures like Ramen Pad Thai and Grilled Marinated Pork Wrapped in White Noodles. The result? A playful, photogenic dining experience that reflects Bangkok’s cosmopolitan identity.
The Afternoon Tea Tradition: Audrey Café’s signature afternoon tea sets (฿499+ via HungryHub; typically ฿700-900 regular price) bring English-French elegance to Bangkok with three-tier presentations of finger sandwiches, scones, French pastries, and homemade cakes. It’s the perfect leisurely 1-2 hour experience for medical tourists seeking a calm, refined outing during recovery.
Pricing disclaimer: Prices subject to change; verify current menu prices with venue before visiting.
The Coffee Program
European Café-Style, Not Specialty Roaster
Set expectations correctly: Audrey Café is not a specialty coffee roastery like Roots or Nana Coffee Roasters. The coffee program follows European café traditions with standard espresso-based drinks — cappuccinos, lattes, Americanos, and French-style café au lait. Beans are commercial blends (not single-origin specialty), and the focus is on classic café beverages that complement the bistro dining experience.
What’s Available:
- Espresso-based classics: Cappuccino, latte, Americano, café au lait
- Iced coffee variations: Thai-style iced coffee, iced lattes

Non-Caffeinated Options (important for medical tourists):

- Premium tea collection: Black, green, herbal (caffeine-free options available)
- Fresh juices: Orange, watermelon, mixed fruit
- Smoothies: Fruit-based, refreshing
- Italian sodas: Sparkling, flavored
- Mocktails: Creative non-alcoholic cocktails
Price Guide: Expect ฿80-180 for coffee drinks (standard Bangkok café pricing). (Prices subject to change.)
Caffeine Advisory for Medical Tourists: Medical tourists should consult their medical team about caffeine intake post-surgery or procedure. Audrey Café offers decaf coffee on request and a wide selection of caffeine-free teas, juices, and smoothies as alternatives. Inform your server about any dietary restrictions or medical considerations.

Branch Highlights
Central Embassy “Audrey Café Glamour” — The Most Luxurious
Location: Central Embassy, 5th Floor (BTS Ploenchit, direct skywalk)
The Vibe: Step into a gold-and-crystal French palace — this is Audrey Café at its most glamorous. Chandeliers sparkle, crystal accents catch the light, and the opulent French décor transforms brunch into a special occasion. It’s the most Instagrammed branch and the closest to Bumrungrad Hospital (1 BTS stop, ~8-10 minutes total).
Why Medical Tourists Love It:

- Full wheelchair accessibility via mall elevators
- 8-10 minutes to Bumrungrad Hospital (BTS Ploenchit → Nana, 1 stop)

Atmosphere: Sophisticated, romantic, special-occasion vibe. Moderate noise during lunch rush, quieter in afternoons.
EmQuartier “Audrey Café des Fleurs” — Garden Whimsy
Location: EmQuartier, 8th Floor (The Helix Quartier) (BTS Phrom Phong, direct skywalk)
The Vibe: A flower-themed wonderland with garden-inspired décor and whimsical floral installations. Lighter, more playful than Central Embassy’s glamour — imagine Parisian garden party meets Bangkok bistro. The Helix Quartier floor offers stunning views and a creative dining atmosphere.

Location: 136/3 Thonglor Soi 11, Sukhumvit Soi 55 (BTS Thong Lo Exit 3, 8-10 min walk)
The Vibe: The original Audrey Café that started it all — a standalone building with classic French bistro charm. Less theatrical than the mall branches, more neighborhood café warmth. This is where the brand’s identity was born.
Accessibility Consideration: Partial wheelchair accessibility — the café interior may be ground-floor accessible, but Thonglor Soi 11’s narrow sidewalk can challenge wheelchair users. Call ahead (02.712.6667-8) to confirm current accessibility and consider taking a motorcycle taxi from BTS Thong Lo (฿20-40) instead of walking.
Why Visit: For the authentic flagship experience, neighborhood atmosphere, and original Audrey vision. Best for mobile medical tourists in moderate recovery stages.
Hospital Access: 15 minutes to Bumrungrad (BTS Thong Lo → Nana, 2 stops).
Siam Center “Petite Audrey” — Compact Chic
Location: Siam Center, 4th Floor (BTS Siam, direct connection)
The Vibe: “Petite” format but same quality — a compact, chic Audrey experience at Bangkok’s busiest BTS interchange station (Sukhumvit + Silom lines meet here). Smaller space, same elegant French-vintage décor and full menu.
Why Medical Tourists Love It:
- Most central location (BTS Siam connects to everything)
- Full wheelchair accessibility
- Multiple hospital options: BNH Hospital (3 BTS stops to Sala Daeng), Bumrungrad (4 stops to Nana)
- Connected to Siam Paragon, Siam Discovery for additional activities
Atmosphere: Compact but comfortable, busy interchange crowds nearby but café maintains calm interior.

Sub-Brand Concept: “Kelly by Audrey” appears to be a sub-brand positioning (possibly more casual or different menu focus) — details less documented than main Audrey branches. Maintains quality standards while serving northern Bangkok (Ladprao) and Ratchada (Esplanade) areas.
Access:
- Central Ladprao: BTS Mo Chit / MRT Phahon Yothin interchange
- Esplanade Ratchadapisek: MRT Thailand Cultural Centre (Blue Line), direct to mall

Q: How spicy are the Thai dishes? Can I request mild? A: Thai fusion dishes maintain authentic Thai spice levels (Boat Noodles, Tom Yum can be quite spicy). Request “mild” (ไม่เผ็ด — mai phet) when ordering if sensitive. Servers understand this request.
Q: Is the food authentic Thai or fusion? A: Both — Audrey Café’s unique positioning blends authentic Thai comfort food (Boat Noodles, Crispy Pork Knuckle) with European bistro classics (Coq au Vin, French Toast) and creative fusion experiments (Ramen Pad Thai). Expect photogenic presentations and Thai-European flavor combinations.
Coffee & Drinks Questions
Q: Do you roast your own coffee beans? A: No — Audrey Café uses commercial espresso blends (not single-origin specialty). The focus is European café-style coffee to complement bistro dining, not third-wave coffee culture.
Q: Is decaf coffee available? A: Yes, on request — important for medical tourists managing caffeine intake post-procedure. Also extensive tea selection (herbal, black, green) and non-caffeinated beverages (juices, smoothies, mocktails).
Q: Can I buy coffee beans to take home? A: No — Audrey Café does not sell retail coffee beans (not a roastery operation).
Practical Questions
Q: Is there WiFi? Can I work on my laptop? A: WiFi available (especially at mall branches), but Audrey Café is not co-working friendly — the atmosphere is designed for social dining and romantic occasions, not laptop work. Power outlets limited. For co-working, try nearby Roots Coffee (theCOMMONS) or Hubba-To (Ekkamai).
Q: How long does afternoon tea service take? A: Allow 1.5-2 hours for the full experience — three-tier presentation, tea/coffee refills, and leisurely pace are part of the tradition. Perfect for medical tourists seeking a calm, extended recovery outing.
Q: What are the opening hours? A: 11:00-20:00 daily is the typical range across branches (some sources indicate 22:00 for certain locations). Mall branches may follow extended mall hours (11:00-22:00). Verify current hours on official website or call branch directly before visiting — hours subject to change.
Q: Can I bring children? A: Yes — family-friendly, though atmosphere leans romantic/sophisticated. High chairs available at most branches. Afternoon tea can be a fun experience for children (photogenic tier presentation). Weekend brunch gets lively with families.
Q: Is parking available? A: Mall branches: Use mall parking (fees apply — typically ฿25-40 first hours). Thonglor Soi 11: Limited street parking (challenging) — BTS or Grab recommended.
Q: Do you accept credit cards? A: Yes — major credit cards accepted (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX likely). Cash and QR code payment (PromptPay) also accepted.
Medical Tourist-Specific Questions
Q: I’m recovering from cosmetic surgery. Is Audrey Café suitable? A: YES — especially mall branches (Central Embassy, EmQuartier, Siam) for full accessibility, air-conditioned comfort, direct BTS skywalk access, and close proximity to Bumrungrad Hospital. Physical demand: Very Low (all seated dining). Visit weekday afternoons (14:00-16:00) for calmest atmosphere. Consult your medical team about activity level and dietary guidance before visiting. (This information does not constitute medical advice.)
Q: Can I drink coffee after my procedure? A: Consult your medical team about caffeine intake post-surgery — caffeine can affect blood pressure, wound healing, and medication interactions. Audrey Café offers decaf coffee on request and extensive non-caffeinated options (herbal tea, juice, smoothies). Inform your server of any dietary restrictions.
Q: Which branch has the best wheelchair accessibility? A: All mall branches (Central Embassy, EmQuartier, Siam, Ladprao, Esplanade) offer full wheelchair accessibility via mall elevators and BTS skywalks (zero outdoor walking required). Central Embassy and EmQuartier are closest to Bumrungrad Hospital. Contact venue to confirm current accessibility before visiting.
Q: How far is Audrey Café from Bumrungrad Hospital? A: Central Embassy: 8-10 min (1 BTS stop). EmQuartier: 10-12 min (1 BTS stop). Thonglor: 15 min (2 BTS stops). Siam: 15 min (4 BTS stops). All are convenient for post-appointment dining.
Q: I need to avoid certain foods post-procedure. Can the kitchen accommodate? A: Yes — inform your server of any allergies, dietary restrictions, or medical dietary guidance (soft foods, low sodium, avoiding spicy, etc.). The kitchen can accommodate most requests. Call ahead for complex dietary needs to ensure best preparation.
