Lamoon is also famously known as Nam Wan, and you could get their famous drinks in a bag at various food festivals. They were always the stall with the crazy line ups but so worth the wait. Not only are their drinks refreshing with fun and unique flavours, the drink bags are just too cute!

Needless to say, when they opened an actual storefront, I became a regular. The owners are lovely and so kind. It’s been a positive experience each time. The cafe itself is adorable and aesthetically pleasing (perfect for getting those IG lifestyle shots). There are lots of cozy spots to enjoy the food/beverage and hang out, including a super nice patio in the back to enjoy the sunshine.

They offer an amazing menu with lots of authentic items you’d find in Thailand (beverages, pastries and savoury dishes) and added their own unique twists. Since I’m all about my desserts, I will focus on the pastries and beverages that blew my mind.

Vanilla butter cake with strawberry jam

These bunnies first caught my eyes because of how cute they are. But once I’ve had a taste, I was hooked. The cake is soft and buttery, and the burst of fruity strawberry filling in the centre goes perfectly with the vanilla flavour.
There are also little pandan bunnies. For the pandan fans out there, it’s a must try!

Cookies, cookies, cookies!

All of their cookies are fresh and baked in-house (so talented!). If you’re like me and love a good soft and doughy cookie, these are the cookies for you. They are so soft and have almost a cakey texture because of how bubbly they are. As usual, the flavours are amazing. Pictured below are the: pandan with toasted coconuts on top, Thai tea with macadamia nuts, purple yam with pistachios, and taro.

Yes, I did eat these cookies all by myself. I love the soft chewy texture of the cookies and the flavours are on point. If I must pick a favourite, I’d say that the taro and pandan are tied for first place. The Thai tea and purple yam are a very, very close second. I recommend trying them all!

Coconut Biscuits with pineapple jam

I can not get enough of these cookies. I won’t get into how many bags I’ve already gone through (too many to count).

These authentic cookies are made in Thailand and imported here based on availability. Since this may not always be available, I stock up whenever I see them. They are the perfect finger food for snacking. It’s so easy to finish a bag in one sitting (or maybe it’s just my porky appetite).

The coconut biscuits are crunchy and buttery. The generous pineapple filling inside is chewy with that sweet/tartness from the pineapple. I love that they use fresh pineapple and you can actually taste the tiny strands from the pineapple chunks. The texture of the cookie and filling combined is pure perfection *chef’s kiss*

One of the reasons I am so obsessed with this particular cookie is because the filling reminds me of the Taiwanese pineapple cakes I used to eat as a child. There’s a nostalgic feeling whenever I eat them.

Sidebar: Lamoon also supports local businesses in Thailand by using their handmade rope handles for the to-go drinks, as well as introducing products such as tote bags and scarves that use pa kao ma (Thai fabric). I always love seeings locals supporting locals and this also extend our to other small businesses in all the countries that have been impacted.

Cheers!

You may have noticed the beautiful drinks in each of the photos. After all, these popular drinks are what launched this incredible cafe. Their origin story, so to speak. Below are the drinks that are shown in the pictures above:

Lychee butterfly - lychee, soda, butterfly pea flower (this is the colorful purple drink)
Iced matcha latte
Pandan latte (my favourite) - this is sweetened with condensed milk but you can request to adjust the sweetness level. I personally like it less sweet so it’s more refreshing.

*Substitutions are available for the milky beverages such as oat, soy, and almond.
