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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
