Blue Coffee at Agriculture CMU

While there’s a lot of cafes out there, and strong competition for a good cup, there’s no place quite like Blue Coffee – a towering wooden café on the CMU Agriculture campus with floor-to-ceiling windows that promise the most dramatic mountain storm views from the warm safety of dry socks and warm lattes. The wooden panels arranged in rows mirror the planting lines of the fields just outside, making for some striking views and, if you’re into it, some great insta check-ins too. While the clouds roar outside, the vibe inside is quiet and focused – students and locals come here when they need a change of scenery – and the coffee is purposefully strong. If you prefer to colour coordinate your drink, the soft matcha is a worthwhile deviation, with a creamy and indulgent take on the Japanese drink that pairs perfectly with the monsoon mood.

239 Suthep Rd, Su Thep, Muang Chiang Mai. Open 7am-6pm, opens at 7.30am on the weekend
