Khanom House

Thai$

This venue is one of Good Food’s 100 Essential Sydney Cafes and Bakeries of 2026.

Self-taught Thai baker Yeen Veerasenee is a market stall success story. Buoyed by the popularity of his matcha Basque cheesecakes, Veerasenee opened his first brick-and-mortar in a light-filled corner of Chippendale in 2025.

Returning customers will note some welcome changes since then: more outdoor seating, more drinks, and more pastel green in the pastry cabinet. Veerasenee has a penchant for pandan, using the tropical plant’s natural dye and earthy vanilla flavour to make seven-layer honeycake, custard-filled doughnuts and cream buns. You can even try it in Khanom House’s signature drink, paired with matcha foam.

Good to know: There’s barista-made coffee to pair with your cake.
