Torajiro has two locations, the first in Japanese town off Thonglor and the other located on the 2nd floor behind S&P on Sukhumvit Soi 26.

I find the cooking generally better at the Soi 26 location and it also has a more comprehensive selection of spirits, Shochu and Sake.

Sparkles is a small, gourmet bakery created by Sophie, a Thai-American from Southern California, who now resides in Bangkok. She started with just 6 different cupcakes that have now exploded to 47 different types.  Each cupcake has its own unique style, design and taste. Sparkles never comprises when it comes to health; they use the finest ingredients and never use preservatives, artificial flavors, corn syrup, margarine or palm oil. Trans fats are never used in their products!

The bakery is on street-level with a kitchen up a steep stairway on the 2nd floor, everything is organized very well to make up for the lack of space, although a compact kitchen is sometimes a blessing, as ingredients and equipment are within easy reach.
