Coffee shops and Chiang Mai is like peanut butter and jelly. It just fits and blends together so perfectly. The coffee shops and cafés are what really accentuate the hipster vibes that Chiang Mai gives off that draws in so many expats. Here are a few of the best Chiang Mai coffee shops and cafés that are worth a visit.
Nimmanhaemin Road Coffee Shops

15/3 Nimmanhemin Rd., Suthep, Muang, Chiang Mai 50200 (Note there are multiple locations)
Plan on going for a hot, foamy drink – or else prepare to upset your barista. This place is known for their incredible drink designs. The coffee is good, but the creativity is divine.

1/6 One Nimman A103-104, Nimmanhaemin Rd., T.Suthep, Muang, Chiang Mai 50200
Unusual coffee combinations. Think coffee + activated charcoal/soda/fruit and more…all mixed together. Somehow, it all just works. You’ll just have to try it for yourself. The environment is very…graph-like. Very modern and airy – making this Chiang Mai coffee shop a contemporary staple for Nimmanhaemin Road. (My personal favorite!)
Rustic and Blue the Farm Shop

Nimmana Haeminda Rd Lane 7, Tambon Su Thep, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200
Go for it all – the coffee, the food, and the vibes! This place is definitely a triple-threat.
Old Town Chiang Mai Coffee Shops
My Secret Café in Town
My Secret Cafe in Town
175, 12 Rachadamnoen Rd, Tambon Si Phum, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200
Only a secret if you’re not looking for it. This charming Chiang Mai café is smack-dab in the middle of Old Town right near the Gold Temple. The secret part? Most likely, you won’t just stumble upon this eclectic coffee shop. You’ll have to make your way to a side street a little away from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai.
Old House Café
Old House Cafe
No.2 Jhaban Road, Phrasingh Subdistrict, Chiang Mai 50200
It’s like your house away from home. Old House Café is, literally, in a house. With open, airy seating all throughout the space and on the porch, you’ll be sure to find a cozy spot to just sit and relax or get a little work done.
DRIFT TIP: Spend one day exploring the temples of Old Town Chiang Mai and add in a few of the Old Town Chiang Mai coffee shops throughout your day. Spend another day shopping and eating your way through Nimmanhaemin Road while coffee shop-hopping.
