Akha Ama Phrasingh
Akha Ama Phrasingh is a spacious two-level coffee roastery in Chiang Mai’s old city. The building’s architecture is cool, featuring a nifty rounded staircase and an industrial-meets-local vibe. It’s a prime spot for coffee nerds and tourists. The espresso here is very very good, and the baristas know their stuff. They offer a bunch of […]
Sukhum Caffe’ Sanpatong
Stumbled across this charming cafe driving back from a nearby waterpark. It’d fit right in around Nimman or Suan Dok in terms of quality and design. Baristas are well-trained and take coffee-making seriously. Our three-year-old went wild for the cake display but was happy with a fresh-squeezed orange juice. My wife called it the best […]
The Baristro at NCU
The Baristro at NCU is a compact cafe serving the nearby campus. It’s got the typical Baristro offerings: solid espresso, tasty cakes, and some fancy drinks. The downside? It’s a bit noisy due to its location right on the highway. The second floor is the highlight, with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with light […]
The Brewing House by Rue Thai (ฤไท)
This place is for coffee nerds. I would recommend a visit to this amazing coffee house if you’re in Mae Rim. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. The coffee is delicious and the house-roasted beans are of the highest quality. The barista takes the time to explain […]
GRAPH Ground
GRAPH’s tucked away in One Nimman – that big mall with the pretty European plaza look – and these guys know their coffee. They roast their own beans and get creative with drinks. Try the Breaking Brown if you want your mind blown – it’s like an espresso and an avocado had a delicious baby. […]
Ristr8to Original
If you’re looking for a great coffee place in Chiang Mai, Ristr8 is the place to go. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and social, the drinks are delicious, and the staff is always willing to explain various specialty drinks. Most people love the espressos here, but I don’t, so I usually indulge in one of […]
General Coffee
General Coffee is a cool spot in Chiang Mai, run by the same folks behind GRAPH cafes. It’s not a destination cafe, but it’s a solid choice if you’re in the area and need a break from the heat. The interior is a mix of old-school timber and burgundy velvet seating, giving it a vintage […]
Maled Coffee Roasters : โรงคั่วเมล็ด
This is one of my favorite cafes for when I am in a hurry and I just want a quick espresso. There are several other cafes on the same street but none comes close to Maled in terms of quality. They roast their beans in-house and you can tell that they care about quality. The […]
Basecamp Trail Cafe
All in all, Basecamp Coffee & Gear at the gate of Chiang Mai University is a great spot for those who love outdoor activities. The coffee is great, the food is delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Prices may be a bit high, but it’s worth it for the ambience and convenience. The […]
Sensation Coffee Roasters
This place is a must-visit for coffee nerds. The setting is great and the building is modern and beautiful. The coffee is top-notch – I usually get a cappuccino and pair it with one of their homemade chocolate mousse cakes. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the coffee and gave a thorough explanation […]
