If you can only choose one café in Chiang Mai, I recommend The Baristro Asian.

THE BARISTRO ASIAN is located near the back gate of Chiang Mai University and is my No.1 café in Chiang Mai. What first attracted me was the café's architecture and courtyard design. The spaces are nested in an interesting and varied way, creating different areas to stay both indoors and outdoors, as well as in the corridors. The use of different levels creates many interesting resting spaces, giving it a very stylish feel! The courtyard is designed in a Japanese garden style, with rich greenery that complements the wooden decor perfectly. Being there feels like being in Kyoto, Japan. It's a great spot for taking photos📸. You need to buy an 80 THB ticket to enter, but the ticket price can be deducted from the cost of your coffee. Their coffee is also very delicious. Whether it's an Americano or a latte, it's always rich and flavorful. Highly recommend everyone to visit!
