A very cute retro style cafe in Eakamai-Thonglor. The window seat gives me a feeling of the classic scene from my favorite manga “NANA” (Ai Yazawa) and all over the store are decorated with real retro furniture and decorations. On top of good coffee and the decor, they are pet friendly and the music playlist here is just so meeee love this place, highly recommended

“A place with a joyful vibe and a kind of coziness that’s hard to find It’s all about the chill here: soft, warm lighting, stylish 80s design details, and mellow DJ sets starting at 9 PM — the perfect way to forget the rush and just unwind. The hot chocolate is something special — rich and velvety, with a real chocolate bar slowly melting on a wooden spoon. It makes the whole evening feel extra warm. And the nachos are the perfect match: crispy, loaded with a juicy topping, and so good you’ll want to order more. A great spot to hang out with friends or just enjoy good food and atmosphere on your own. ”

had coffee there today. It’s really a treasure. Amazing place, can see from every details of the place that the owners spend a lot of efforts on designing the place, from the music and songs played, to the sofas and chairs, to the mirror on the wall in bath room, everything is great. The most relaxing cafe to spend the afternoon with friends.

Highly Recommended! The food is outstanding, the service just right and the atmosphere and music is mellow. AND they allow dogs . There aren't many coffee shop / cafes that are worth a detour. But I will definitely make the detour here again!

This place has nice decorations that are both retro and cozy. They offer a wide selection of wines, from classic to stylish options. The food is delicious, fresh, and comes in the right portion sizes. They even provide nachos for free! - Lemon garlic pasta: It comes with fresh grilled prawns and has a tasty sauce that adds a fresh flavor. - Hamachi carpaccio: The Hamachi is very fresh, and the sauce with the herbs goes well together. It's a must-try! - Cuckoo fries: These are French fries served with truffle sauce and cheese. They are always a great snack. The staff are friendly. They provide good service and create a positive experience. They take time to explain details about each wine and recommend what you might like.

Walking into Cuckoo and Friends feels like stepping into a lovingly curated time capsule—warm, nostalgic, and full of character. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed not just into a café, but into what feels like someone’s cozy, memory-filled home. The interior is an absolute delight. Vintage furniture, retro collectibles, and family heirlooms are thoughtfully arranged in every corner, making the space feel both stylish and deeply personal. It’s the kind of place where you instinctively slow down—perfect for catching up with friends or simply enjoying your own company with a cup of coffee. Speaking of coffee—their latte is smooth and aromatic, served in beautifully mismatched mugs that match the charm of the place. I also tried the Matcha Yuzu Honey Lemon, which was refreshingly bright and balanced. Food-wise, the Cuckoo’s Pesto and Prawns was exceptional—herby, light, and full of flavor, while the Soho Porkchop was comforting and hearty, like something your favorite uncle might serve at a Sunday lunch. Another highlight is their weekend wine bar—a brilliant idea. The space transitions seamlessly into a relaxed, evening hangout spot, perfect for unwinding after a long week. Bonus points: the café is pet-friendly, so bring your furry friend and enjoy the garden area together! But what really makes Cuckoo and Friends special is the people. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can feel the heart behind every detail.
