Bella Goose Cafe on the Pond
Named after the geese living in the adjacent pond, this Bella Goose cafe is a family-friendly spot. The food is Southern-USA style and very delicious. Portion sizes are generous – you might get away with sharing one dish between two people. My go-to is the ‘Tennessee breakfast’, which I’ve never managed to finish in one […]
Thingamajiggy Coffee Roaster
I recently stumbled upon this charming little spot in the middle of a rice field, with a stunning view of Doi Suthep in the background. It’s a cozy café with a nice little house tucked away in the corner. You’d never know it was there if you weren’t looking for it. The husband and wife […]
Early Owl
Overall, a great place to chill out and take some nice photos. The huge lawn is good for kids. I don’t recommend working here as the inside area is very small. The menu is just the right size and the cake, espresso and smoothie were all delicious.
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, […]
Fernpresso at Lake
One of the best Cafes in town. The food, the coffee, and the vibe are all top-notch. Plus there is a good chance that when you go here you will be going to a part of Chiang Mai you haven’t visited before (the Chiang Mai University campus). Take your dog and/or kids and take advantage […]
Skugga Estate – One Nimman Branch
Like a high-end Starbucks using locally grown beans and cacao. Don’t expect an epic espresso pull and don’t plan to sit here all day with your laptop. Expect delicious sweet drinks, happy and well-trained staff, and tapas in the afternoon. This café is a satellite business to the more impressive countryside farm where they grow […]
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 […]
Pâte à Choux de Umong
Just around the corner from Wat Umong, come for a refreshing drink and fancy choux patries. The coffee is honestly not good but the food is affordable and the seating is boho comfortable. I recently tried the chocolate mousse cake from this cafe and it was amazing! The cake was perfectly airy and the chocolate […]
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 Larder Cafe & Bar
My go-to brunch spot in Chiang Mai never disappoints. Despite the usual queue, it’s always worth the wait. The Aussie-style brunch menu consistently impresses with its top-notch ingredients and beautiful presentation. I love the warm, friendly staff and the welcoming atmosphere. While it’s pricier than some places, the quality justifies every baht. It’s my favorite […]
