In 2020 Ari District opened, serving Bangkok-style street food mixed with a bit of the small-town flavors found in the chef and owner's native Thailand. Originally open for lunch and dinner, in 2023 they changed up the model and are now open for breakfast and brunch.

The counter displays the sweet and savory pastries that are available and can change daily. Selections can include spinach rolls, cookie butter cinnamon rolls, matcha cream cronuts and maple bacon cinnamon rolls to name just a few. Perhaps the signature pastry is the “pup” pie stuffed with pork and taro or curry which often sell out before closing. (In fact, we had to make two trips in order to get to try one.)

Be sure to try an egg sando with a nice layer of dry shredded pork. Savory dishes like garlic pepper pork and egg are also fantastic.

The banana rice pudding, which was a fitting finale to this brunch affair is not too sweet, with just-ripe bananas and dark-grained rice which made for an attractive display, all topped off with a scoop of a delectable homemade coconut ice cream, some of the best we’ve ever had. Yes and thank you.
