Nice little coffee shop in the morning

I went here because it was close to my guesthouse and one of the few veg places open around 7 am. It seems from reviews the kitchen opens at 9, I’m basing the review only on the bakery. The coffee is served with oat milk but for only 5 baht you can have other plant-based milks. Now cow’s milk served. I had an iced latte and it was good. They seem to only serve in take-out cups but may have been because it’s morning.

I also got two brownies, they have three different types of vegan brownie. Normally I don’t like brownie but these tasted great. They weren’t super heavy and not too chocolate-y. I also had a banana, nice they sell some fruits too.

The options are quite limited, at least only the brownies were labelled vegan. Maybe later in the day options are better for vegans. The seating area is huge. They share the space (maybe also their business?) with an elephant tour company, I didn’t do my research on how ethical their tours are because I came for the food, but reviews here were positive about it.

Cure coffe shop

Really nice coffee shop in the old city serving a wide variety of vegan pastries and lots of iced and hot drinks with choice of oat, rice, almond and pistachio milk alternatives. Located inside the town office of Elephant Nature park. Service is friendly and fast and prices are affordable. Recommend!

Good coffee

Nice coffee shop as part of the Elephant Nature Park office. Got coffee and baked goods when waiting for pick up. The kitchen didn't open until 9am so we were not able to try any cooked food. A very welcoming black and white cat walking about the place!

Simple and delicious

The selection of brownies is huge. I went avo and seed and it was perfectly soft and fudgey. The burger was a perfect light and late lunch option without automatically coming with fries.

Pros: Good prices, Huge brownie selection

Wanted to love it, but didn't get the chance

I've tried to have breakfast here 3 times. The first time I arrived at the opening hour. The kitchen was still closed though, so no breakfast. The second time they didn't have the soy yogurt for the bowl (my first pick) and no avocado for the sandwich (my second pick), so no breakfast.
The third time I wanted a small breakfast, like a sandwich. But there still was no avocado, so I ordered the sandwich with peanut butter, which was good, and the sandwich with seasonal fruit, which was a buttered sandwich with 4 thin slices of apple and 1 strawberry...

Very unsatisfying, especially since the food at the sanctuary itself is a-ma-zing!

The coffee though is really good.

Quiet cafe, decent food

Ordered the veggie burger and had mixed feelings. The bun was toasted and soft, served with lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and a creamy sauce. Vegan cheese is charged extra and not part of the standard order. The jackfruit base burger patty was quite tasty, but was just a really small thin layer, which gets lost in between the burger. Definitely not worth the price.
The restaurant supports a meaningful animal care cause and claims to donate profits to elephant conservation. The place was empty during lunch time, myself being the only diner.

Cons: Small portions

Great cafe with vegan/vegetarian options

Great little cafe with tasty treats and great coffee. I had an oat milk cappuccino and me and my partner both had the vegan banana bread/cake and it was delicious. We will be back for dinner and more coffee!

Surprisingly Complex Green Curry

I wish we were staying longer in Chiang Mai to sample more of this menu, but what a sample it was. An amazing pistachio coffee with gorgeous artwork, and a subtle and delicious green curry and rice. Definitely recommend!!

Pros: Freshness, Taste , Complexity

Great coffe & nice staff

I stopped by to grab a coffee & dessert. It's not vegan so 4 stars. Aside from that it's a very pleasant, modern, well-maintained place.

Pros: Great coffee & Tasty banana cake, A few plant based milks to choose from, Wifi available
