After You Siam Paragon is one of the most famous spots for bingsu in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ever since my first trip to Bangkok last year,
I’d heard all about After You’s kakigori, and I knew it was famous,
but I never actually tried it. On this year’s trip,
I decided I should finally go at least once,
so I stopped by After You Dessert Cafe at Siam Paragon 🙂
If you’re looking for a famous Bangkok dessert spot,
this After You branch is on the ground floor of Siam Paragon.
It’s a chain, so even if you don’t go to this location,
you’ll find other After You branches all over the city.
That said, every branch tends to be busy,
and there’s often a wait.
We got lucky and were seated right away,
but a line started forming not long after..!
Siam Paragon is huge, so I followed the mall map to find it,
and it’s right next to the Gourmet Market checkout area near the exit.
The cafe itself isn’t very big,
but tables turn over pretty quickly,
so even if there’s a wait, it usually doesn’t seem too bad.
Here’s a quick look at the menu at After You, one of Bangkok’s best dessert cafes.
Mango kakigoriis definitely the most famous item,
but there are plenty of other desserts too.
Toast, pancakes, pudding, cake, croffles, and more—
plus a solid selection of coffee and drinks.
Near the counter, they also had refrigerated desserts,
cookies, and branded goods for sale.
We came after a meal, so we ordered just one kakigori.
We went with their signature and best-selling menu item,
the Mango Sticky Rice Kakigori 🙂
The kakigori comes in two sizes: regular and baby.
The smaller one is the baby size,
and it was 215 baht, or roughly $6.
For Bangkok prices, it did feel a little expensive.
Still, the dessert is so cute and photogenic,
which is part of why this Bangkok dessert spot is so popular.
On top of the bright yellow shaved ice,
they pipe on a fluffy swirl of milk cream.
It also comes with two sauces on the side.
One ismilk cream, and the other ismango syrup.
Once you finish the cream on top, you can pour in more as you go.
After trying it, I thought the baby size
was just right for two adults sharing
as an after-dinner dessert.
If you’re really hungry, though, it might feel a little small.
Inside the shaved ice, there’s sticky rice tucked in the middle.
The rice has that soft, chewy, almost mochi-like texture.
There are also chunks of mango inside.
Flavor-wise, it wasn’t anything wildly unique—just a sweet, refreshing shaved ice.
It does feel a little different from Korean-style bingsu,
but personally, it didn’t leave a huge impression on me.
It’s so famous that I do think it’s worth trying once,
but I wouldn’t go out of my way to have it again.
If someone who’s never tried it wanted to go
and asked me to come along, I’d happily share one.
If you haven’t been yet, I’d still recommend trying it once on your Bangkok trip!
