Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Garden cafes are a dime a dozen in Chiang Mai, but this one stands out with its lush greenery. Tall trees, dense ferns, gently flowing water, and soft music make the seating area seem far removed from the traffic of Singharat Road, which is actually just a few steps away. It's a place where you'd happily linger for two hours, not just twenty minutes, which is one reason why there's often a queue outside.

The kitchen offers more than just coffee and cake. The Black Forest chocolate shake with cake pieces and cherry, as well as the caramel milkshake, are particularly praised. The savory dishes, such as salmon pesto pasta and club sandwiches, are also very popular. Those who prefer Thai food can try the green curry with roti or turmeric rice with fried fish. The fruit smoothies are very tangy. The fruit bowls are served ice-cold – so cold that it's best to let them sit for a while.
