Artisan Café — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

I made the mistake of going to that place today....the whole experience was bad...the place looks neglected and dark,with the windows dirty...the owner (?) told me they had a blend of Brazilian and lao or Burma,but not local beans ..I ordered a blueberry muffin that I saw sitting outside along with a chocolate one by the counter... not in a fridge ..the coffee arrived served in what it seems like a chemistry tester...glass jar and glass....I told the owner that that is unacceptable and ask for a proper clay coffee mug...he said, with an attitude that this is the only gear he has,and that's that...the coffee was mediocre,and the blueberry muffin was fresh one week ago....the best part; they charged me 220 baht for those.....I should of show it coming... don't even bother with that...

I visited here after I searched google review. I ordered a bagel and a cafe latte, which cost 170 Baht.(quite expensive compared to other coffrshops in old town and nimman, I have been in chiangmai for 2months) But the bagel seemed frozen, it was hard and had a somewhat strange smell.

What was even more absurd was that a man with a somewhat unusual hairstyle, who seemed to be the owner, took away my coffee cup and dish without even asking if I was done. I had almost finished, but any reasonable person would at least make eye contact or ask first. Instead, he just came in abruptly and snatched them away, which startled me while I was working on my laptop. It was quite rude, but considering the place still has a few customers, I guess they have the confidence to act...

This place is the perfect getaway for so called digital nomads :). The prices are quite high but the place felt like a million dollars, even the restroom looked fancier than my apartment. The coffee, we had an americano and marocchino, was very good (unfortunately no plant milk available hence the 4 stars). The Italian soda with dragonfruit was also delicious. Good and fast WiFi in a relaxed (and almost too western ;)) atmosphere. The staff is skilled and friendly.

If you’re easily distracted or annoyed I suggest you to bring headphones. Some digi nomads hanging around there thinking it’s their crib (read: loud and noisy) and staff is not very willing to do...
