If you have a chance to pass by Mae Rim, Chiang Mai, I highly recommend this café. It’s beautiful even before you step inside, with a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by rice fields. The food is delicious ~~~~ we tried Pad Thai, spicy prawn spaghetti and fried rice with prawns. The Pad Thai is a must-try, so tasty! The lemonade is also very refreshing. Such a lovely spot, definitely worth a visit.

Amazing food recommended by local people. Must try Rababit fried rice. Newly renovated space with aircon. Friendly owners gave me a track pump to fix flat tire, thanks!

The cafe is located not deep in the village. Not hard to find. The parking is big. It's a big cafe surrounded by a paddy field which is so breathtaking and mesmerizing. We ordered drinks here and it turned out to be very nice. The service is good and fast. The staff is very helpful and cute. There are few outdoor and indoor seating that you can choose. Most importantly the cafe and toilet is very clean. The decoration is also very simple and aesthetic. It's worth it for those who want to come and spend your time hanging out with friends. The environment is very calming where you can enjoy the outdoor view or indoors decoration which ever you prefer.

Beautiful restaurant, very classy. Food was the best we’ve had in Mae Rim - absolutely delicious. Pricing is fair also - I would have paid double for the quality. Cooked perfectly and so tasty. Breathtaking sunsets too!

Relaxing place to have a coffee or a meal. Looks like there are two buildings, one more close to the paddy fields with outdoor seatings. I had only coffee and some pastry here. The croissant I had was very tasty and coffee was very good. Most importantly the view of the mountains over the paddy fields was beautiful. Although the day I visited this place was a busy day (it was during the Christmas break), the staff was friendly and efficient.

Super lovely breakfast/lunch spot. All dishes are clean and delicious. We love the bacon spaghetti, grilled cheese and all the coffee drinks, especially the orange coffee. Great view of the mountain!

Food is pretty good but with limited choices, is kind of like a fast food joint where you pay first and get your food at the table later. The shrimp oil fried rice was quite nice and the grilled cheese is great. Drinks wise is also limited choices, they just have coffee or ice tea or sodas…….
