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 […]
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 […]
GRAPH Baankangwat
GRAPH Baankangwat is a cafe nestled in the charming Baan Kang Wat micro-village. It’s the perfect spot for a quick espresso fix or a leisurely afternoon of people-watching.

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 […]
di BOSCO coffee specialist
Is this the largest cafe in Northern Thaland? It might be. A humongous cafe located in the Mae-Rim foothills. It’s a huge cafe consisting of 2 floors and a large sky walk-way leading to more buildings. They grow their own coffee beans (and cacao) at a nearby farm – but they serve a variety of […]
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 […]
Butter & Neighbor
Great food and desserts. Emphasis on steak. Decent coffee. Slow wifi. Big parking lot. Turns into a restaurant at night. Can’t get a table at nearby Transit #8? Come here instead, and stay for dinner.
