If you’re ever in Bangkok, Thailand, and you;re a fan of unicorns,
ponies or just colors in general, there’s a place you simply must visit.
It’s called “Unicorn Cafe” and, just like you’d expect, it’s full of
plush unicorns, rainbows and lots of other colorful treats.
To say Unicorn Cafe is a colorful place would be an understatement.
There’s colorful and there’s this place where even the food, including a
multi-layered cake and spaghetti, come in all colors of the rainbow.
There are plastic chandeliers and plush unicorns hanging from the
ceilings, multi-colored couches, and tiny My Little Pony Toys decorating
the tables. Did I mention you can put on a unicorn onesie to really get
into a magical mood? It’s the kind of place you’d think only existed in
someone’s acid trip, or in a pastel fantasy dream.

The Unicorn Cafe only exists in Bangkok, and its creators apparently
pride themselves on having no other branches and for offering no
reservations, as they caption every one of their Instagram photos with
this information. Anyway, this magical place is located in the Silom
neighborhood of Bangkok’s Bang Rak district. It’s been around since 2012
and as of 2017 it consists of two venues located just 10 meters apart,
named Zone A and Zone B.

I’ve sadly never visited this place, but many of those that have
recommend opting for Zone B, as it’s the newer venue, while Zone A
reportedly looks a bit worse for wear. Also keep in mind that this place
doesn’t take reservations, so if you want to avoid long lines, it’s best
not t show up at lunch-time. The place can get packed especially during
high season, so you’ll want to visit late in the afternoon.

As you can probably imagine, Unicorn Cafe is a dream-come-true for fans
of Instagram, because of of the overload of color. From the rainbow
crepes, waffles and cake, to the pastel-colored Galaxy Frappe,
everything is brimming with color, and even if it’s not, you can bet it
comes with an edible unicorn horn stuck on top of it.
