GRAPH Cafe — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

I had actually given up on the thought of drinking anything else but black instant coffee in Thailand. However, as someone that's stopped drinking alcohol, I needed a way to still enjoy myself while socializing.

Luckily for me, I made a new girlfriend who turned me onto Graph Cafe. And Holy freaking Moly, I'm so grateful that she did!

I was blown away! I didn't know coffee could give me the excitement like I was trying a new cocktail.

I don't do Starbucks. And if I do drink coffee, it's just plain black or an Americano. But Graph Cafe changed the game for me - what caffeinated creativity!!!

Mind. Blown. Nerves. Shot. Worth it.

Every time I came here, I ordered at least two drinks minimum. I loved how they all tasted. It seemed like there was a drink for any mood. And it helped that the staff were incredibly sweet & the baristas love could be tasted in every glass.

Also, be mindful of other customers if it does get busy. It only seats 10 inside, & they ask that you don't work on your laptop there.

I absolutely adore Graph Cafe & wish I could take them...

There isn't really a way to convey the quaint-ness of this tiny — fits 6 (American Sized) people — cafe.

The staff put a great deal of care into the cute aesthetics, packaging, menus, and signage. There are vintage film cameras and Kinfolk magazines dotting the small shop, with reclaimed wood and shiplap walls. It made our PNW crew of 5 feel like we were in SE Portland and not SE Asia. The print material was so thoughtful and complex in both Thai & English. The drinks were phenomenal — while we didn't have anything traditional (the speciality drinks were definitely the prize of the shop) we enjoyed several different drinks with some containing activated charcoal, sweetened cream, rose water, and lime tonic to name a few. We came to learn later that this is one of 7 shops owned by a Chiang Mai restauranteur named Fa we ran into...

This is the smallest of the four Graph cafes in Chiang Mai. The menu consist of a variety of expensive, but pretty looking, sweet iced coffee drinks with vanilla, rosewater, charcoal, etc. I guess it's a good place if you don't actually like coffee and just want a sweet cold beverage and a nice photo for Instagram, but for actual real coffee there are many better places to go. I had an Americano and it was average at best.

If you buy an Americano, Espresso, etc. they give you a tiny shot glass of water, but if you want water with any other coffee, they refuse to give you a glass of water and you have to buy a whole bottle.

The space is tiny with uncomfortable stools that for some reason are taller than the edge of the table so you can't actually have your legs under the table, so everyone is sitting sideways to the tables trying not to...
