Good but not best

Good location in town. Simple but likable place. During half of the year the friendly French owner serves himself. If he wouldn't the service would be poor. In other restaurants you can eat for less money but more tasty. I doubt if I will go there again. 3 1/2 stars

Pros: Mushrooms+cashews and Burmese leave dish delicious

Cons: Pumpkin dish plain, average, as from any stall

Best Dish in Chiang Mai so Far!

The first time I went I got a Massamam curry and it was the best dish I had so far in Thailand after being here for a month now.

The second time I got a green curry. It was good but can't be compared to the massamam which is on a class of it's own.

Pros: Very nice ambiance, service and food!

Great curries

Very chilled out atmosphere. We had a great Penang Curry that, considering the amount we got, really wasn't that expensive. The mango cheesecake was good too but for the price and size I wouldn't buy again

Pros: Great flavourful curry, Great atmosphere

Cons: Dessert was expensive

As long time vegans, it was the perfect place for us.
We went to other places in Thailand with great reviews and came out very very disappointed with the food.
This time we got a positive experience! The food was GREAT! Really great. Highly recommended

Pros: Great taste, Good service , Big choice

Not the best

There are so many great vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Chiang Mai that I would skip this one. I ordered a smoothie and a veggie burger. The veggie burger was okay and the smoothie was warm. Not just not cold, but literally warm. Probably won’t go back.

lovely healthy food

I love this place, the food they have feels very healthy without being boring at all. The salad bowls are huge and served with a very tasty sauce. Not everything is vegan, but a lot of things are, there's definitely enough choice. The one downside is that some staff members don't seem to care much about service, though some other ones are great so it's a bit hit and miss really. Don't go when you're in a hurry as food is known to arrive slowly.

Pros: lots of vegan options, healthy food

Cons: service is a bit hit and miss

Amazing Food

I don't know what is with all the reviews about waiting time, I've been here over 10 times this month alone and I've never waited more than 15 minutes for my food. They make everything from scratch, no oil, msg, or other additives. Super healthy and delicious food. There veggie burger is the best one I've found in chiang mai

einfach lecker

Sehr gemütlich. Statt Stühlen gibt es Matten, auf denen man sitzt. Das Essen ist sehr lecker und auf Wunsch vegan zubereitet. Zudem gibt es einige 'raw'-Gerichte auf der Karte.

tasty and friendly

Extremely tasty vegan Thai food! The curry was just delicious and so were the juices and salads (even though I prefer Som Tam with crushed peanuts in top).

Passable sustenance

After stopping curiously one busy night but being warned by a woman there she'd been waiting an hour for her food, we went back the next day and had the big salad with nuts and the vegan burger. Happily, we only waited about ten minutes.
Less happily, the staff, while not actively bad, wasn't the best. It might have been nice to be warned that the big salad was essentially the same as the salad served with (and also essentially on) the burger. The meal was largely shredded cabbage and carrots.
Kind of nitpicking now, but we shared both items and were just given a second bowl to dump half the salad into. That kind of salad isn't easy to manoeuvre without proper tools! The guy serving us was kind of fumbling over himself the entire time too.
We took the last of it home as we got tired of eating the same thing, and bagging it up somehow took several minutes. Can't really recommend this one sadly.

Pros: Thai and western dishes, Relaxing space

Cons: Pricey, Some dishes uninspired, Staff left something to be desired

Excellent food, Staff so so

The different dishes there are really very yummy and you can choose from a great variety. But unfortunately the staff isn't that friendly, rather conservative.

Excellent vegan food


We had a free day on Saturday so decided to take a walk around the Old City. The Bodhi Tree was the nearest vegan-friendly cafe so we headed over there. Am so glad we did as the place was so nice and serene and the food was excellent.

We tried the following:
1. Red Curry with mixed vegetables & tofu 80 THB
2. Tom Yam Soup with mushrooms, vegetables and tofu 100 THB
3. Burmese Tea Leaf Salad (raw) 100 THB
4.Rice (we wanted brown rice but they ran out so we had sticky rice and a bit of brown rice) 20 THB
5. Apple & celery juice 80 THB

I liked how they had an entire page of raw food on their menu. All vegan options are clearly marked. In fact, they state on their menu that all dishes can be turned into vegan dishes - YAY!

Highly recommended

From their FB page: "All ingredients we use for cooking like soy sauce, oil, sugar and salt are also exclusively organic. We do not use fish, oyster or any other animal product based sauces to cook our meals. We try to do as many things as possible ourselves like drying our own herbs and fruits for our sweets, making our own mayonnaise, nut milk, yoghurt, salat sauces, dips, sweets etc.

Any preservatives, additives, MSG, GMO, refined sugar and salt etc. are strictly banned from our kitchen."

nothing special

Hippie/yogi cafe with ok food. Service was good and was relaxing sitting in the peaceful cafe but lots of other veg places with better food. Had to add chilli and soy to my morning glory and fried rice for the first time during my travels.

Pros: peaceful, relaxing

Cons: food lacked flavour

Wasn’t a fan

Drastically overpriced food which isn’t justified by the sub-par quality or small portions. Owner was friendly the first time I came for a small breakfast, and I didn’t realize what a rip-off it was, however the next time I suggested to my girlfriend that we actually try a meal here I was pretty disappointed not only by the food, but by their crazy prices. Serves egg, and clearly a place that uses the term “vegan” to make money from unwitting tourists. This spot was a let down.

Cons: too expensive , average food, small portions

What a stunning little cafe on a calm peaceful street. The food was perfect, so tasty, and prepared swiftly even though they make everything from scratch. Loved it.

Laid back vibes with decent food

I came here once - I ordered the "pancakes", only to be disappointed to be served just one pancake. Although the serving size was small, the pancake was actually really well made! It would've been nice to get a stack of three.

I would usually give this a 4, but unfortunately the restaurants serves dairy and (I think) eggs, so I'll have to take it down to a 3.

Pros: Well made food, Good value, Easygoing vibes

Cons: Serves eggs and dairy, Small serving size (from my limited experience)
