A guide for coffee lovers in Chiang Mai

This is going to be very exciting because we are going to talk about the best coffee shops in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Chiang Mai, the largest city in northern Thailand is very well known for having more than 300 Buddhist temples and being the home of Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Thailand. With more than 2,000,000 foreign visitors per year and 20,000 living in the New City, it is no wonder that their coffee scene is flourishing.

Akha Ama Café

If you are looking for really good coffee, look no further. Good coffee comes with good skills and beans and that is what Akha Ama Cafe is all about. Not only Akha Ama Cafe serves the usual like lattes and americanos, they serve the unusual too. Special concoctions like Shakerato and Irish coffee (made with Jameson whiskey) are great paired with their scrumptious cakes and muffins that are made freshly every day.

Address: Soi 3, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50300, Thailand

Ma-Chill Espresso

There is nothing quite like Ma-Chill Espresso. Bringing coffee to another level, their menu is packed with the most creative and visually appealing coffee. Some of the drinks available in their menu are Espresso topped with Homemade Granola Taro Ice Cream (sounds like a combination of coffee, breakfast, and dessert), Iced Coffee Doughnut and Citrus Cappuccino.

Doppio Ristr8to

Doppio Ristr8to is widely considered to be the best coffee shop in Chiang Mai. The owner worked for many years in Australia, won awards for his latte art and brought back the secret skills of good coffee to Chiang Mai. The shop on Nimmanhaemin Road is very small with lots of low tables, and is always full. It has an indoor area that is air conditioned and lots of outdoor seating in the sun. Doppio Ristr8to is not the type of cafe to sit hours in, and people often come to drink their coffee, take photos and then leave.

Address: 15/3 Nimmanhaemin Road, Chiang Mai

Graph Café

Graph Cafe believes in simplicity. If your dream is to sip coffee in a minimal design cafe, this one is for you. Some of their newest ideas are Bangkok (cafe latte, oolong tea, boiled egg, yogurt and granola bar served in a condiment tray) and Polar Bear, which has the most beautiful ombré. If you are on run and you can’t do without coffee, they have cold brew served in the fanciest bottle.

Bays Café Chiang Mai focuses on making coffee using the pour over method so there is no machine, just an impressive display of drip coffee devices for you to watch your coffee brew. Bays Cafe is attached to a restaurant called Food4Thought and they share a large open air area in a relaxing garden. There is a roof and indoor area to sit in, or you can sit at the coffee bar with barista Bay himself.
