Great cafe, really good coffee beans. Dirty latte, iced Americano, or oat flat white are all amazing. Friendly staff and good place to hang out.

This hostel is located in the old town of Chiang Mai. The rooms and bathrooms are super clean and the communication with the owners super easy. We extended our stay for two more nights and it was cheaper than booking online. The little cafe downstairs is the perfect place to start your day with a good coffee. We really enjoyed our stay at @onceinabluemoon <3 ! You should bring some cash to Chiang Mai :)

The best place in Chiang Mai to get Fresh Passion Fruit Coffee! Things you should know: I. SERVICE Friendly and timely II. QUALITY Great coffee beans and refreshing fruits for the hot Thailand weather III. CAPACITY The cafe is small but if you go late-morning on a weekday you should be able to find an available seat!
