What is it? A newer addition to the Chiang Mai breakfast scene with a slightly different agenda – slowing your morning down and taking bread seriously. While most spots on this list anchor themselves in rice and congee, Baan Baan focuses on traditional Thai-style grilled bread, made fresh in front of your eyes. The butter sugar bread is the one to start with – warm, golden and paired with a variety of dips including traditional Thai custard, taro and purple sweet potato. For those who can't go without congee in the morning, they do that too, topped with shredded chicken and all the usual comforts.
Why we love it: Breakfast is best when it's warm and feels homemade – and like the name suggests, Baan Baan leans fully into that. Every plate here feels like it was made with the specific intention of making your morning better. Hearty, comforting and the kind of place you want to return to on a slow weekend with nowhere to be.
Time Out tip: Don't stop at the butter sugar bread. Baan Baan has more varieties than you'd expect – black sesame, pumpkin and butterfly pea toast are all worth trying. Order a spread and work through them with the dips. A very good way to spend a morning.
