About Udom House

Set on the edge of the city, Udom House swaps standard cafe eggs for serious Thai home cooking in a sunlit retro apartment setting. Locals bypass the usual brunch drill for Khao Nheaw Hor—sticky rice parcels packed with rich pork belly alongside fiery nam jim jaew. Morning tables fill quickly with flaky puff pastry jaffles, crispy kana moo grob, and bowls of comforting chicken soup. Behind the counter, championship coffee cred powers drinks like Es Yen, a sweet iced espresso balanced by dense condensed milk. Past the entrance sofas and vintage knick-knacks sits a rotating glass display housing slices of pandan Piak Poon cake and lightly sweet pumpkin custard.

  • Home-Style Thai Brunch: Swaps cafe staples for savoury sticky rice parcels, spicy fried chicken salad, and wok-crisped pork belly.
  • Specialty Thai Sips: Pours potent Es Yen iced espresso and floral Cha Keaw tea alongside award-winning Melbourne coffee brews.
  • Flaky Jaffles & Bakes: Bakes golden puff pastry jaffles stuffed with cheese or spicy larb, alongside Thai milk tea cheesecake.
  • Apartment Living-Room Vibe: Decked out like a lived-in retro flat with entrance couches, leafy plants, and local artist table markers.

  • Rotating Cabinet of Balanced Traditional Sweets

    The display cabinet showcases authentic Thai bakes, from light pandan sponge layered with chewy coconut pudding to taro chiffon flan and silky pumpkin custard made without cloying sweetness.

What desserts and sweet options are available?

The pastry cabinet and sweets menu feature traditional, lightly sweetened Thai desserts such as Piak Poon (pandan coconut cake), pumpkin custard, Taro Mor Gang flan, Thai milk basque cheesecake, and Thai toasts topped with banana or pandan kaya.

Do they serve Thai specialty drinks and coffee?

Yes, along with standard coffee, they brew signature Thai drinks like Es Yen (sweet iced coffee), Oliang (traditional black coffee), and Cha Nom / Cha Keaw (Thai milk and jasmine green teas).

What is the seating like, and does it get busy?

Seating is intimate and styled like a retro home apartment with sofas, vintage knick-knacks, and an outdoor turf area out back. During popular brunch periods, finding an open table can be tricky and popular menu items can sell out by early afternoon, so arriving earlier in the day is recommended.
