Our Bangkok location is comfortable and cosmopolitan. In the morning, it smells like blueberry muffins and fresh ground coffee. Throughout the day, there is the scent of buttermilk fried chicken and vanilla waffles, pancakes and maple butter.

When they began, Neil and DeDe were a small wholesale baking company with a storefront and a few loyal neighborhood customers who lingered over coffee and muffins and tapped out on their laptop keys (before smartphones were born).<\/p>\n

These days, most folks know Neil\u2019s pancakes are voted best in the city, but it\u2019s his savory roots that ground the menu and make them proud. People call it \u201ccomfort food,\u201d but what they are dishing out is American Classics made with the highest quality\u00a0ingredients, locally sourced — whenever possible — with lots of love (and butter).<\/p>\n
