Bigknit Cafe
Inside Bigknit Cafe
Bigknit Cafe is a hybrid spot tucked on the first floor of RQMALL Sukhumvit 49, blending the casual comfort of a café with the tactile charm of a knit and yarn store. It’s not just a place for coffee or a quick bite—it’s where locals come to slow down and connect with a more hands-on, creative side of Bangkok’s Watthana district.
If you come in the morning, you’ll find the cafe opening at 9am with a calm, peaceful vibe perfect for settling in with a warm drink and a pastry. Many visitors arrive early to grab a quiet seat before the knitting classes start around 10am, creating a subtle buzz as beginners and experienced knitters gather around communal tables. For those less inclined to stitch, the café-style food menu offers approachable, homemade flavors: coconut cake is a standout, frequently ordered alongside light bites like club sandwiches and pasta dishes. The food here comfortably fits into a casual, day-long visit rather than formal dining.
The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively—often filled with the soft sounds of yarn needles and conversation. Staff are known to be friendly and patient, particularly with knitting newcomers, providing tips and encouragement as people work on their projects. This sense of community makes it a unique mix of a local hangout and a creative workshop.
Bigknit appeals especially to those who appreciate a quieter, more tactile experience within Bangkok’s lively café scene. It’s a welcoming spot for anyone who wants to combine a casual meal or coffee break with a chance to browse or pick up quality yarns, premade knitted goods, or even join a knitting session. Weekdays, especially mornings and early afternoons, tend to be the best times for those who want to enjoy both the food and the crafting space without the weekend crowd.
In short, Bigknit sits comfortably at the crossroads of lifestyle and café culture, offering a space that’s part eatery, part creative hub—a place where sipping coffee and making something with your hands coexist quietly amid the energy of Sukhumvit.
