First MUJI Cafe In Thailand
Lots of people who go to Muji end up spending lots of their money, and we can’t blame them. Known for selling sleek and minimalist products ranging from stationery and furniture to yummy Japanese snacks, Muji items are high-quality and have reasonable prices.
Muji has opened its largest outlet at Samyan Mitrtown near Siam, which is also the first branch in Thailand to have a cafe as well.

Besides shopping for minimalist items, you can enjoy some local Thai coffee from Doitung, along with baked goodies from 60 Plus Bakery sold here. The cafe also provides customers with a nice space to sit and hangout while enjoying their drinks and desserts.

Those in need of caffeine can get a cup of Hot Cappuccino at ฿75, or freshen up from the humidity with an Iced Caffe Latte at ฿75. Those who are not info coffee have other sweet options like Iced Chocolate (฿70) and Iced Matcha Latte (฿70) as well.

Muji Cafe also sells pretty desserts to go along with the drinks. Start with a Zebra Croissant (฿20) that has a nice chocolate-y touch. We recommend trying their cakes too, like the Matcha Gradient Mousse Cake (฿60), a 3-layer cake that comes with a soft texture and a nice matcha flavour.
