Fringe.th Cafe and Restaurant
Fringe.th Cafe and Restaurant is a multi-faceted spot in a trendy part of Chiang Mai. It’s a stone’s throw from the Ping River, making it a convenient stop during a day out. The interior is a mishmash of styles – think dozens of chair types, hipster boho art, and various seating areas. It’s like someone […]
Much Room Cafe
Much Room Cafe is a jungle oasis tucked away from the city buzz. The massive outdoor seating area is shaded by towering Lanna trees, complete with large fans to keep you cool. Inside, you’ll find air-conditioned comfort, but good luck snagging a seat during lunch rush. The food here is solid. Their chicken tikka masala […]
Chom Cafe and Restaurant
This is a jungle-themed Instagram paradise that’s more about the ‘gram than the coffee. This sprawling complex features man-made waterfalls, streams, and mossy “forest” scenery. The food here is incredible both in taste and in presentation. I especially enjoy the basil fried fish. Desserts are also top-notch, and they offer a decent cup of coffee […]
Living The Dream Cafe & Playground
Living The Dream Cafe & Playground is an incredible find that combines great food, coffee, and a kid-friendly environment. The standout feature is its stunning architecture. The cafe boasts a large playground with a sandpit and trampoline, making it a hit for families. There’s plenty of shaded outdoor seating and a spacious lawn, perfect for […]
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 […]
Yen.CNX
Beautiful cafe hidden down a little sidestreet in Hai Ya. The focus here is on the desserts, of which their is a variety of cakes and ice creams. They have a proper espresso machine but lack the training to produce a really satisfying espresso. The music is, unfortunately, the usual downbeat american pop. The interior […]
Fleur Cafe & Eatery
Incredible sprawling compound consisting of multiple koi ponds and European-style flower gardens, secluded eating areas, and ton of spots perfectly staged for a photo-op. Don’t come for the coffee, and don’t plan to get a lot of work done. Come for the location, the food, and the nearby attractions. We’ve visited with friends and enjoyed […]
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 […]
PLUTO
Wow. Pluto is a must visit. It’s one of those cafes where you can’t help wondering to yourself how the heck do they make money? How are they going to get their investment back? The architecture alone must have cost a fortune. But that’s the Chiang Mai coffee scene. I wont list out all of the […]
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 […]
