Bodhi Tree Cafe

Bodhi Tree Cafe is the sister cafe to Bodhi Tree 2 ... I enjoyed their version of massaman curry with rice (my favourite vegan dish) ... the quality and quantity of the curry were great and it was 'farang pet' just as I ordered ... the cafe has a great vibe and I have found the staff (and owner) to be friendly and approachable ... so many good vego restaurants in CM and so little time

I must say I have very mixed feelings about this restaurant. It is situated in a nice garden next to a monastery and has therefore special atmosphere. The furnishing deserves some maintainance tho. If you go in the evening be ready for tons of hungry mosquitoes and put on your repelent. Also mixed feelings about the food- mine was excellent but my friends dish was just not that good for price you pay... as I stated before- Bodhi Tree left me with mixed feelings...

Ordered the Massaman Curry with some brown rice on the side and a banana-nuts-cacao smoothie.
Curry and rice were great, the smoothie however was a miss. My guess is too many nuts with too little banana. It was bland, too thick and a bit "dry"
Would come back here for the nice atmosphere and the food :)

Such a nice chilled out spot for breakfast - I had the porridge with plant milk, banana and maple syrup instead of honey, PB toast, and a mango, banana and pineapple smoothie. Delicious, and staff were lovely. Good coffee too!

sadly this place seemed it was falling apart, no other customers there either, we were too afraid to order a meal due to the enormous amount of insects on the table and flying all around.... ordered a coconut and my sis got the banana nice cream and it seemed as if it had been purchased from somewhere else and chucked in the freezer, it came in a plastic packet with a wet plate.

came here to eat in the evenings sometimes, decent salads, food quality seems good, great place to come if you want to eat in a quiet laid back place, has wifi. I wasn't blown away by the menu though.

There's a feeling this place has become a little old and rundown. But the peace and quiet under a huge Bodhi Tree from the neighbouring temple is what brings me back here. The menu is the same the number 2 cafe up the road, but sitting in the pergola in the garden is the difference. If you want somewhere tidier and more switched on, try Bodhi Tree Cafe 2 up the road.

I´ve had the burger twice and I do like it. The first time I thought that the patty was mock beef, but on the second time it was less "beefy" and I thought that it was a mushroom patty, I don´t know. They have home-made mustard-tasting vegan mayo (which I don´t think has much to do with usual vegan mayos).

Avocado-cucumber soup tasted mostly like fried sesame oil. Potato salad was fine, but not anything special. I haven´t tried the Thai dishes.

Rustic and charming are good words to describe the decoration, but they should keep the restaurant clean and clutter free, because it looks a bit messy. I´ve been here twice and service has been a bit awkward (but very friendly) so they should pay attention to that too.

Hidden gem in CNX. Very tasty foods and drinks, mostly organic & vegan. Love the nature setting. Toilet is dirty, which often says something about the restaurant..

Stayed at a hotel right next to this place. The workers and the owner are super nice and friendly. Over my trips here I had a green curry with rice, fresh rolls, and for breakfast a fruit platter with toast and a smoothie. Everything was fresh and delicious, not to mention extremely cheap.

It was a nice surprise to arrive in the tranquil setting of the Bodhi Tree Cafe. While the rustic setting might put off some people I thought it was charming. There is a very good selection of vegan and vegetarian meals. We ordered the potato salad, vegan burger and a red curry. All were nice but the best part of our meal were the banana, nut and spirulina shakes which were yummy. I would definitely go back again.

Found this gem so late on my journey but oh wow, this café/restaurant really has the best atmosphere in Chiang Mai, tucked away from the noise of the traffic the only thing you'll hear here is the chirping of the birds.

The menue is perfect and you will always find something you like. The price is just a little bit higher than elsewhere, but not for the whole menue! You can get a soup for 50 Baht which is really cheap!

The chefs in this restaurant are all female and put a lot of love into their food, I like the thought of supporting them and their philosophy.

We had a carrot soup (50 B) as a starter, then ordered a sandwich (120 B + 30 B for hummus we shared), which was unreal, so tasty and fresh, and for desert because they were out of energy balls I ordered their delicious vegan yoghurt (30 B) which is made with passionfruit and I also asked for maple syrup.

The food was ssooooo good and left me completely satisfied without feeling heavy in my stomach so I would guess it's very low fat plus very fresh. They really do make everything from scratch so it takes a little while. Favourite place in Chiang Mai! So sad that I was only able to eat here twice :(

Really nice chill atmosphere and great food :)

Delicious food and good service.
Very nice vibe!

A great place with tons of vegan options. We had spring rolls, smoothies, papaya salad, and glass noodles--we loved everything! We will surely go back. Moderate prices.

This place is super sweet, not posh but comfy, quite back street and really great selection at a very fair price good portions!

The owner of the cafe really cares about environment and health. They have an awesome porridge with coconutcream, nuts and seeds! Extra requests are no problem. prices are allright.

In a really quiet location down side streets. Very well signposted. Really friendly service and the best gazpacho EVER!!! And a killer apple & celery juice!
