So cozy

I was lucky because when I arrived a man told me that it was closed for long time. The food was really yummy and the chocolate is a must-buy. 😋

Pros: Very nice family, Yummy food, Vegan homemade chocolate

Nice food

Food was good every time I went, but the place lacks a bit of atmosphere. Staff a bit hit and miss - seemed to be either very friendly or very apathetic.

Good Place

I went to this restaurant several times and they have a big selection of vegan food. It's good but sometimes a but tasteless.
If you are around it's a good place.

Good selection of Vegetarian dishes, Vegan options available to

Nice variety of Thai and westerm dishes, reasonable portion sizes and not too expensive. The green mango salad is particularly tasty, as is the Pad Thai! Good smoothies too..

Pros: Veg & Vegan options, quiet, nice location.

Cons: Food sometimes a bit bland.

Updated to 5 stars!

2019: I just updated my review to 5 stars. I first came two years ago, but I just cleaned off one of the best massaman curries I’ve ever had! Very quiet place though and barely anyone eating here at peak hour, I do wish more people would come as it’s delicious!

2017: Came here for dinner and had stir-fried veggies (with sweet juicy pineapple) in silky tamarind sauce which was delicious. It also came with my fave - red rice - so I was feeling extra healthy afterwards haha. They're also in the process of opening a hostel/guesthouse upstairs which is cool.

If you come be sure to sit upstairs on the balcony, much nicer.

Pros: Super fast service , Super tasty

Cons: Very quiet in a pretty isolated street, A little small portions - but for 60 baht not bad

Very good "everyday" restaurant

My partner and I have been going there every other day since two weeks, as we live nearby. We were very happy with everything we tried so far. We especially liked the cashew dip with potato naan, the pineapple rice, the porridge, the avocado and lime shake, and we are determined to try everything on their menu. Oh and they make amazing cookies with homemade chocolate!
Their prices are very reasonnable for the quality you get, they do have Thai dishes but also more western ones, and the staff is great.
They also sell tea from one of the staff's granddads farm :)
Don't miss out on this place if you're around!

Wouldn’t come again

The meals are vegetarian and I haven’t had the impression that they are prepared for vegan options. I ordered the avocado pita, but they had no good alternative for the sourcream. So the meal tasted like a cold pita with salat without any flavour...

Small portions, good quality

In comparison to other places, it feels very Western, and has a true hipster vibe. Small portions, you’d need to eat three dishes to be full, but good quality of food. Sells other products, like high cacao % chocolate, and energy balls, has western style vegan cake and cookies.

Pros: Interesting options, Serves vegan cakes & cookies

Cons: Tiny portions

Dry veggie salad

I ordered the grilled veggie salad, what came was a small plate of dry grilled veggies and no salad. Dressing was pumpkin garlic and pretty average, no simple dressings. 75 baht. Also tries a sample of the home made dark chocolate 80%, it was also pretty bad.

Unique Dishes

When I first opened the menu I was a little disappointed not to see anything a bit more creative and especially to see so many dishes with dairy and/or eggs.
However, please give it a go as the dishes are not made how you'd normally expect. I have tried the green mango salad which was delicious as it was completely dry without a drop of oil or salty sauce yet still extremely flavourful, and the Pad Thai was the same. I can see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea but if you like healthy dishes that are still tasty then this is the place to go, just don't expect dishes to be made how you might normally find them. Still waiting to try the vegan croissants which I've heard so much about as they'd all been eaten up already by you greedy lot. :p

Pros: Very healthy dishes

Cons: A lot of dairy and eggs

all round great cafe

I’ve had Penang curry, juice and Thai tea which have all been great. Nice setting great place to work from. Don’t order the mix veg salad unless you just want a massive bowl of lettuce and sprouts and nothing else of any substance. It really was like something you’d feed your guinea pig! Apart from that all good looks pretty good!

friendly and pretty good food

The salads were delicious. The soups not so much though. Catered well to vegans and at the end the owner gave us some homemade dark chocolate which was a nice touch.
They had some vegan baked goods. I had the almond croissant which was delicious.

Pros: vegan friendly , most of the food was good , nice staff

Tiny portions for take out, food is okay

I ordered soups and kombucha for take out to take to my sick boyfriend. The soups were tiny and just okay flavour. I double checked the lids on the kombucha before putting them in my bag and they leaked everywhere, they do not seal.
I felt like the sever was rude as well.
We won't be going back.

Beautiful Establishment

Like everyone says, the owner is what makes this place so special :) He is very kind and accommodating and you can feel that in all the food! I'd like to say that they seated and served us within 35 minutes of them closing and I really appreciated that as many veggie restaurants close early. We asked for recommendations and he told us to try the Yum Kha Plee which is a banana blossom salad (veggie not vegan) and was amazing! The Kao Yum Phuket is his mom's recipe and was also delicious! The falafel and hummus are made with mungbeans and were a great treat to step outside of the normal thai menu. He gave us a sample of some fresh cacao nibs for free to take home which was really sweet. All in all, go support this family spot full of intention and love!

Pros: Wonderful Staff , Fast service , Family recipes

Cons: none

It is easy to eat high carb low fat here, just be sure to ask what dishes can be made oil free. The owner is very friendly and the pad thai was delicious.

Pros: Tasty food. Friendly owner. Can eat oil free. Free

great vego cafe with vegan options

I called into Imm Aim Vegetarian and Bike Cafe for a late lunch ... I had a delicious and cheap massaman curry with brown rice (฿60) ... while it was a basic curry (no tofu or meat substitute) I found both the quality and quantity of the curry were excellent ... friendly and helpful English speaking staff ... free wifi

Pros: heaps of vegan options, friendly staff, free wifi

Nice organic restaurant

Great undercover garden setting with friendly staff. All food is freshly prepared and looks healthy. The broccoli ginger was just okay, the grilled veg salad was good but the build your own burritos were the clear winner.

cool rustic place

A delightful place, I had a banana peanut butter smoothie, which was absolutely divine. it had the perfect balance of sweetness. You can taste the peanuts and also enjoy the crunch to it. I also had a grilled veg salad which was tasty too. However I thought that it will come with lettuce, etc.

disappointing 🙁

Went with high hopes after reading reviews but the food was terribly disappointing. Ordered hummus dip with pitta and salad. Instead of the honey dip I was given an alternative but both the dips were lacking in flavour and the hummus was warm. Then we had avocado pitta. Unfortunately, the pitta was soggy and again no flavour at all. Finally spring rolls. Hoped this would be better but no. Just no flavour whatsoever. This place has a great philosophy but it lacked atmosphere and certainly won't go back as there are far better places serving vegan food in Chiang Mai.

Fresh, healthy and tasty vegan food

One of my favourite places in CM! Mr O the owner is super friendly and accommodating, he's vegan too so knows what's in all the dishes. All the food is freshly prepared with organic ingredients with minimal oil so it's a nice change to a lot of the oily vegan food in town like at the little Jay cafes.
I personally recommend the Avo sandwich (with pumpkin dressing), the vegan pad thai (totally unlike any other pad thai in town!) with extra noodles, the falafel sandwich and the sweet potato salad with tamarind dressing. The massaman curry is also a good one!

Pros: Freshly prepared healthy but tasty af food, Excellent vegan options at good value, friendly and welcoming staff

Cons: too much ice in smoothies, only has brown rice (personal pref, i like white)
