This place is a kind of breakfast place (or I can say brunch for some day) in a hotel. As I mentioned earlier, this is a quiet place where you can escape the busy / chaotic Bangkok -- Seating in an out-door green atmosphere with a cool breeze (I don't know why we got this cool feeling even outside was so hot and so shiny).
Pastry and Bakery were waiting for us to select while a counter of made-to-order sandwich was also ready. All are freshly made daily arrival at Mocha & Muffins Bakery Shop before 8am!!! After talking with staff, we found out that some ingredients or fillings such as sausage, ham, or even smoked salmon, the chef had made them himself. That's why the taste's so good and different from other places (especially selling in other places) ... must try !!!
Now, it's time for a real thing ... Hot drinks as always my favourite ... Americano Coffee, Latte Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Hot Tea, and so on cost around 100 - 130Bht ... Noted that Brew Coffee here was made from the brand 'Vittoria Coffee' -- the famous Australian Italian Cafe originated in Sydney’s Haymarket. Another thing to be noted was all hot drink was served with a little cookies or little biscotti (made by the hotel) for a little munchy cruncy our mouths !!!.Sausage roll here is so famous (always ran out) ... so big and so unique. The order for sausage roll is always happened for eat-in or even call in for picking up !!! Sausage inside is in rectangular shape (1.5 inches wide x 3.5 inches long) made by 4 Seasons Hotel. Cost of all pastry is around 60 - 70 Bht per piece. However, there are small size which is 20 Bht per piece -- but I like the big one since it's the original and so fulfilled.
However, the croissant was so full with layers as you can see the texture of it (which I can say ... it can really beat French Croissant in Paris) ... outside was so crispy since when we ordered, the staff will put into oven again for reheating. So what we got was the hot fresh croissant served with butter and 2 small jars of jam brand 'Darbo' from Austria !!!
What about other baked products ... Giving you some example to try (actually my favourites) ... Pear Crumble ... The creative baked bread which filled with crumble dough on top plus fresh pear pieces underneath ... a great combination of soft & crunchy in one bite together with salty on bread & crumble contrast with sweetness of fresh pear ...
Apple Tart ... sliced apple was caramelized and sugared on top of baked pastry ... we were amazed with the thin slices of apple together with crunchy sound of tart underneath ... another great combination of softness & crunchiness indeed !!!
or sample from Mocha & Muffins Chilled Cabinet like Chocamel Cake 90Bht ... where you would see a combination of chocolate, caramel, and mocha in one !!! Chocolate Cake as the base layer and up to the top with soft caramel layer ... at the core was mocha creme base ... fancy the top with gold sheet and hard nuts caramel sheet ... all were in soft and fluffy texture as you can see from the first knife cut till the last picture that the cake was a bit bended ...
And the last thing ... the made-to-order sandwiches ... this was an create your own sandwich cost 210 Bht. This was Croissant with smoked salmon filled with Rocket Leaves and Sun-dried Tomatoes ... Normally if you came in early morning, you will see only the carbinet and ordering sheet ... it would start the service around noon together with choices of salad & also hot soup !!!
Another can't missed item ... if you look for some refreshment (I mean cool thing to refresh your hot feeling) ... Try Four Seasons Iced Lemon Tea ... It was served in tall glass full with ice cubes, black tea in carafe, and 2 small jars for lemon juice & syrub ... it's not ordinary ice cube since it was made from tea itself ... so what you got is the brownish ice cube which when it's melted the taste of your iced tea won't diluted !!!
Remember, next time, you look for a peaceful place with great service and great food, think of Mocha and Muffins ... We might meet each others there !!!!

always love the garden at the four seasons but haven't thought of having breakfast or branch here and also haven't known that they use Vittoria!
must go there, have a sit, and order croissant with latte next week!
Encourage to enjoy good atmosphere and good food there at Four Seasons.
Now, I found another Vittoria's Fan !!!
hehe...i know Vittoria since i was in Mel last year and Vittoria is used in most cafes there.
thinking of bringing a book and enjoy nice latte there..
I hope not many people get to read your blog!
this is one of my favourite ‘secret’ places in Bangkok
I love the tranquil, courtyard Tropical garden
The coffee is very very good indeed (I am a purist and drink mine black with no sugar I actually like the taste of coffee without the milk, froth and sugar)
If your standards are based on what you had in Melbourne then you should really improve them - Go to Italy!
The pastries are some of the best I have had (try the multi-grain croissant)
and the cakes are excellent

LoLo understand the goodness of Italian Coffee well ... if you have gone through my other blogs you can notice that Italian Coffee has appeared time-to-time if there's available). To bad this is Thailand, not much of Italian coffee choices to be chosen ...
Missing Italian Coffee & a standing at the bar always !!!
