GRAPH Contemporary
Graph Contemporary is definitely a place to check out if you’re looking for a unique café experience. The café has a great atmosphere, with spacious seating, friendly staff and delicious coffee and desserts. Plus, the location is in Charoen Mueng, which is Old City with lots of interesting architecture. Like all GRAPH locations, the food […]
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 […]
CRATE Cafe
This place is a gem in our old neighborhood near Wat Umong. The food, desserts, and coffee are all solid, but the real star here is the design. Think natural materials and minimalism that actually works, not the try-hard kind. The garden is the showstopper – in the backyard is a Japanese-style rock garden complemented […]
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 […]
Cafe Arte
Incredible hidden gem in the Jed Yod area. This sprawling cafe features many rooms, plazas, courtyards and gardens. Just look at their Instagram! The vibe is maybe Spanish missionary or something? It’s romantic as heck and they take coffee seriously as well. A must-visit on your tour of Best Coffee Shops in Chiang Mai.
The Barn Eatery And Design
It’s a real hidden gem in Suan Dok and it’s my go-to place to work late when I am in that part of town. The aesthetic is like a boho greenhouse. It gets very busy during the day because a lot of students go there to study. If you can’t get a seat immediately just […]
Sun to the Moon Cafe
A true hidden gem. The owner runs this little cafe/brunch spot out of his house. He is going for an Aussie brunch-spot-vibe because he did his barista training in Melbourne and just loves the culture. The clean design, the Market Lane coffee beans, the emphasis on ‘smashed avo’, results in a convincing Aussie experience. It’s […]
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 […]
The Baristro x Ping River
I absolutely love Baristro cafe at Ping River. The atmosphere is amazing and the coffee is delicious. The view is beautiful and there’s plenty of outdoor seating. The entire area is photogenic. The coffee is very well made and they have a wide variety of beans to choose from. The pastries and desserts are also […]
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 […]
