That viral image of long lines outside Caffè Panna – drawn by a mango sticky rice sundae created with Thai restaurant Laab Bar – is enough to make anyone crave the dessert, even in its reimagined form. Creamy coconut, sweet mango and chewy sticky rice come together in a satisfyingly new way. The only problem? It’s happening in New York, not Bangkok.
Koktail has rounded up 11 Bangkok spots where you can get your mango sticky rice fix without leaving town. Many reinvent the classic with new flavours, proving it’s not just a summer treat but a year-round dessert, perfect for rain (as Bangkok is experiencing) or shine.
A tropical fusion of sweet mango, pandan sticky rice and crunchy coconut toppings over a refreshing, antioxidant-loaded base
Acai Story’s latest mango sticky rice special combines a refreshing açaí base packed with vitamins, fibre and antioxidants with sweet Nam Dok Mai mangoes sourced from Korat.

A gentler take on mango sticky rice, swapping coconut intensity for milky rice pudding topped with fresh mango and crunchy pistachios
Mango sticky rice clearly decided it wanted a quieter life at Arabesque Bangkok, better known for its Egyptian and Indian cuisine.

Old-school coconut goodness layered with mango, sticky rice and playful toppings that turn up the creaminess in every bite
Coconut Culture on Phra Arthit Road keeps things unapologetically classic.

Go for a coconut scoop with mango, add sticky rice, and you’ve got a sweet, cooling combo perfect for the heat. Standard toppings aside, there’s also a perfectly round frozen yolk you can throw in to crank up the creaminess.

Coffee’s new Dirty Series, the Mango Sticky Ritual starts with sticky rice, adds a house-simmered rice milk syrup for richness, then pours in espresso to keep it grounded.

Mango sticky rice goes French with chewy rice, crispy macaron and coconut milk for a bite-sized, texture-packed twist
Mango sticky rice, in its classic form, is about as close to a dessert ideal as you can get, Thai or otherwise. But give it a French twist and things start to get interesting. At YenlyYours Dessert, known for its premium nam dok mai mango, they’ve turned it into macaron mango sticky rice. You get chewy sticky rice, crunchy macaron and coconut milk for dipping – basically, texture heaven in one bite-sized package. It’s so petite and cute, you’ll hesitate before eating it. Plus, it’s made fresh right in front of you.
A cloud of shaved ice topped with fragrant mango cubes and tucked-in sticky rice, creating a refreshing tropical mashup
Kao Nom’s latest creation is basically a dessert mashup you didn’t know you needed. Fluffy Japanese shaved ice forms a cloud-like base, topped with juicy, golden Nam Dok Mai mango cubes that release tropical fragrance. Sneaky grains of sticky rice hide in the layers. It’s an ideal treat for Thailand’s year-round heat. Hardly anything beats a mound of icy shavings, and the addition of sticky rice and mango makes it even more irresistible.
The PIPATCHARA collaboration turns mango sticky rice into a design-led drink of rich black tea, mango yoghurt and fresh mango layered in sweet, tropical balance
Not long ago, Karun Thai Tea launched the “Infinitude Form” collection in collaboration with the globally recognised, eco-conscious Thai fashion label PIPATCHARA, whose founder, Pipatchara “Petch” Kaeojinda, is one of our 2025 Future Listers. Centred on the concept of “Playground Hopping,” the collection pushes dessert boundaries, exploring new possibilities for classics. Their answer? The mango sticky rice yoghurt black tea: rich black tea layered with sweet mango yoghurt, finished with mango sauce and fresh mango bites. It’s mango on mango, balanced by the tea’s depth – and yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds.
A Kyoto-style anmitsu twist on mango sticky rice, layered with Thai-inspired ice cream, mango, sticky rice and chewy Japanese toppings
Of course, Kyo Roll En brings a Kyoto-inspired twist to their take on mango sticky rice, blending Thai and Japanese culinary influences into a wonderful dessert crossover. Their Thai Thai Anmitsu captures this cultural fusion perfectly, pairing two craft ice cream flavours inspired by Thai desserts – Nong Mon bamboo rice and golden threads (foi thong) – with a generous spread of six toppings: coconut jelly, sweet potato mochi, shiratama, taro glutinous rice balls (bua loi), sticky rice, fresh mango and a drizzle of fresh coconut milk sauce. Who would’ve thought anmitsu – a Meiji-era classic – would pair so well with the signature sweetness of Thailand’s own dessert tradition?
Mango overload in tart form: juicy mango chunks, chewy sticky rice surprise, and a playful palm tree on a buttery base
Make Me Mango feels less like a name and more like a command born from mango cravings – and they clearly obey it well. Their mango creations never hold back, and the mango island tart is a perfect example of that creativity. A buttery tart base is piled high with mango chunks, complete with a miniature palm tree, just in case the theme wasn’t obvious enough. Hidden inside is sticky rice, revealing a satisfyingly chewy surprise when you cut in. Tropical? Absolutely. But also the kind of dessert that makes you mentally pack a beach bag on the spot.

It’s like your favourite Thai dessert got a Greek vacation, sipped through a smoothie straw.
