MINTNIMAL — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

I went here for something cold to drink during another hot, Chiang Mai day. A friend recommended I get the wild honey lime drink. The person running the shop was nice and engaging. I orders the recommended drink, but when I saw the banana cake, I couldn’t resist adding it to my order. The drink was cold and refreshing and not overly sweet (maybe I asked for not much sugar. I can’t remember). The cake was, WOW! I didn’t expect it to be that good. It had a caramel sauce with it that was magical. Note: There was only one person working there, so make sure you’re not in a rush. Pt. 2 I went a second time and got the apple dessert....

Got blocked from entering and exiting this cafe by 2 vapid weirdos having a photoshoot with the front door. They constantly moved the front door open and closed making it loudly creak for 10 mins. The same selfish weirdos also took up so much of the cafe that I had to sit outside in the midday sun whilst waiting for my order. It is especially embarrassing for the owners to allow this selfish behaviour to continue for so long.

The mint ice cream and lemon drink were ok, nothing special. Just another overblown "aesthetic" cafe with no substance and owners with no backbone. Definitely not...

This place is a gem! It’s totally worth the walk in this hot weather. The cafe is cozy and quiet, perfect place to chill your afternoon away.

I ordered the mint ice cream and mintnimal mojito (without alcohol) and it’s good. The mojito is a good to-go choice.

The interior is really beautiful as well.
