Jolie Café & Bar

Jolie Café & Bar sits tucked in a quieter stretch of Lat Phrao 26 Alley, offering a flexible spot that shifts moods from daytime café to laid-back night bar. During the day, it attracts a mix of local office workers and neighborhood regulars looking for a well-made coffee or a casual place to unwind. The space is clean and spacious, with enough parking at both front and back, which is a relief in this part of Chatuchak where street parking can be tight.

Coffee here leans toward the familiar and approachable side. The cappuccino is a reliable choice and presented with care, while the iced mocha feels sweeter and less like a traditional coffee drink — good for those who prefer their caffeine with a chocolate twist. If you drop by in the morning, there’s some decent breakfast promotion for combining meals and drinks, making it a practical stop for a quick, straightforward start to the day.

Besides coffee, Jolie offers a range of food options that meld Thai staples with light bar fare. The fried dishes and Thai-style fried rice tend to fare better than the Western plates, where consistency varies. Their sweet waffles with vanilla ice cream stand out as a good way to round off a casual meal or afternoon break. Come evening, the atmosphere shifts as imported and local beers come out, making it a relaxed drinking spot without the buzzy crowd of more central bars.

The interior combines white and red tones for a clean, somewhat photogenic look that feels open rather than cramped—a welcome contrast to the narrow soi it’s tucked inside. It’s spacious enough to handle groups and casual meet-ups alike, making it a predictable, low-key place to raise a bottle or sip coffee on a weekday.

Ultimately, Jolie Café & Bar suits those who appreciate a no-fuss, multi-purpose local spot. It works well for daytime coffee breaks or laid-back evenings with friends, especially if you value parking convenience and a quieter environment away from the main roads of Ladprao.
