We LOVE Din Cafe. It’s been a favorite of ours since we moved to this neighborhood last year. Nong Kwai has tons of great stuff for families, and Din Cafe is the kind of place you rock up to on any random day of the week and can expect to run into folks you know. It just has that awesome community vibe.
The mix of traditional wooden Lanna buildings and adobe give this place a unique look, and the grounds are nicely kept up with little ponds and clusters of happy growing things everywhere. Very Instagrammable.
Of course, our kiddo heads straight for the swings and slide. There’s also usually a lot of toys around. The owner has two small kids herself and their bicycles, blocks and other toys are often out for visiting kids to also enjoy.
The menu is small, with Thai and fusion brunch favorites, salads and sandwiches. They have a very decent burger topped with fried egg I often get a craving for. As a latte drinker, I absolutely adore their “clay coffee” which is made with whole cream – so decadent! Their carrot cake is also banging. If we let our toddler choose for herself though, she’d probably just order the homemade mixed berry gelato on repeat.
Recently the owners added a wood-fired pizza place adjoining, and there was a small pharmacy also onsite, but we’re waiting to see what business moves in here next. Check out their Facebook page for events as they host small workshops or the occasional pilates class here.

There’s plenty of shaded parking. The bathrooms are spare – no changing table.
