The dessert case: rolls, puddings, eclairs and cakes with handwritten price tags

The defining trait of Custard Nakamura is balance: it is a dessert destination and a lunch counter in the same three meters of glass. This shortlist pairs the best of both halves, so your box leaves the shop properly diversified.

The Sweet Five

Custard pudding (the namesake, ฿60); choux cream (the benchmark); mini choux (the diplomatic option for offices); strawberry shortcake (the occasion); Japanese cheesecake (the gentle finish). All appear with tasting notes on the best sellers page.

The Savory Five

Menchi katsu sando (the connoisseur's pick, ฿120); pork katsu sandwich (the reference); croquette (the walking snack, ฿60); curry bread (the sealed thermos of lunch); mentaiko bread (the utensil-free umami). Compare the sandos in our head-to-head.

Pairings That Work

The classic order is one sando + one pudding: salt then silk. The office order is mini choux + croquettes, both share-friendly. The gift order is puddings and madeleines, both sturdy travelers. The solo lunch is a menchi sando eaten immediately and a custard bread saved for four o'clock.

Budgeting the Case

The menu runs from ฿35 madeleines to ฿150 seasonal cakes, with sandos around ฿110–฿120. A serious two-person tasting across both halves of the case rarely passes ฿500 — one of Bangkok's better ratios of pleasure to baht. Prices change; call 02-259-9630 to confirm.

When Balance Matters Most

Late morning is the only hour when both halves of the case are reliably full. After lunch, savory thins; by evening, sweet follows. Plan accordingly, or call before you walk.
