The Story 106 Co-Working Space & Cafe
The interior is cool, with big windows and a stylish design that’s sure to catch your eye. Upstairs, there’s a spacious co-working area with plenty of natural light, comfy chairs, and plugs for your devices. It’s a decent spot for getting some work done, but don’t expect miracles. The attached craft shop has stuff that […]
The Baristro Coffee Roaster
Baristro’s latest offering is everything I have come to expect from this Chiang Mai cafe chain: amazing coffee, beautiful decoration, well-trained baristas, and a vibe that says “Stay a while”. Baristro coffee roaster is, as the name suggests, the roastery for the entire Baristro chain. The building is modern minimalist and the location is beautifully […]
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 […]
Savor Society
Lots of seating, open early, incredible espresso, congenial staff members. The food is all bread-based which is a disappointment, and the interior is almost Instagrammable but not quite. You can rent their large comfy boho meeting room for 600b/half day. There is is also some kind of school attached, maybe for training baristas? I couldn’t […]
WAKO BAKE
Cool Japanese themed cafe/resto located near the Huay-Kaew and canal intersection. The food is great and so are the desserts. I found their espresso a little bitter however. This place is a gem when you want to get dinner and work late as they close at 9pm. There is a courtyard with some water features, […]
Blue Coffee At Mae Hia
Look, I’ll be honest – I end up here a lot. Living in Hang Dong now, it’s become my go-to spot when I need a change of scenery for work. Is it the best cafe in Chiang Mai? Nah. But it’s damn good for what it is. The coffee here is legit. Blue Cafe doesn’t […]
Blue Coffee at Agriculture CMU
This place is a stunner. Tall ceilings, glass walls everywhere – it’s like they took the concept of ‘open space’ and cranked it to eleven. The interior design here puts most cafes to shame. And the views? Just trees, greenhouses and farm fields. Not your typical campus backdrop. Located smack in the middle of CMU, […]
Beam&Col. coffee bar
Beam&Col. coffee bar is located within Weave Artisan Society, a massive converted ice factory that is now a multi-purpose hangout spot. It’s got a coworking area, coffee shop, craft beer bar, and a chocolatier all under one roof. The industrial warehouse vibe works well without trying too hard. The cafe is great. More than great […]
Chapter One
The downstairs is set up for casual eating/drinking while the upstairs is used by nomads and students during the day and then by board game groups in the afternoon. I find the menu very small with only a couple dishes, but who cares when they do those few dishes well? I always find their espresso […]
The Baristro Asian Style
Probably the best overall café in Chiang Mai. Yeah, I said it. Look, I’ve been to more cafes than I care to admit, and this place just nails it. Coffee, desserts, architecture, location – it’s like they’re showing off. The slow matcha and coffee bar is ridiculous. They’ve got this massive slab of granite that […]
