Single Origin Store Tha Pae — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

We woke up at 6:45 AM because we really wanted to grab one last amazing coffee in Chiang Mai before flying back to Singapore. we entered the café, beaming with excitement from the glowing reviews we had read on Google.

However, things quickly took a turn for the worse. We weren't welcomed by anyone, and the cashier displayed a rather rude manner while we placed our order. It felt as though we were an inconvenience to her. When we inquired about the signature beans, she merely glared at us, pointed at the menu, and irritably stated that everything listed was a signature bean.

To make matters worse, the coffee itself was a letdown—bitter and left a nasty dry feeling in our mouths. We could barely get through a sip before we decided to head out. The vibe in the place was just so bad that we couldn’t stay longer than 10 minutes.

When we left, neither the cashier lady nor the barista bothered to say goodbye or thanks (even though the café was still quite empty), and they were busy on their phones (refer to photo)

It was our last day in Chiang Mai, and we’d really loved all the other shops and their great service, especially at the local food stalls. But this café kind of ruined the mood for us right before our flight. While writing this review, we checked the negative reviews and saw that a lot of them mentioned the same cashier lady that we dealt with. It surprised us that management hasn’t done anything about her, given that so many people have already called her out...

Fair prices Great variety Excellent atmosphere Passionate Management and Staff

We have been visiting Chiang Mai for about a decade now and it has changed so much, some ways the increased tourism has taken away from the charm of the city and in others ways the changes have evolved the charm.

This coffee shop has encapsulated the positive attributes of increased Tourism. They have a true passion for coffee and the local Thai coffee farmers. They are preparing amazing drinks with a keen attention to detail. They offer a wide variety of options to meet everyone's needs, If you are new to specialty coffee be sure to try a few different bean and milk pairings before you judge your experience. If you have a specific taste you like be sure to ask the barista. This coffee doesn't taste like your average dark roasted cup of Joe.

This is a great place to start your journey or continue your exploration of all the amazing flavor profiles coffee...

"I recently visited Single Origin Coffee, a charming cafe located right in front of the iconic Tha Pae Gate in Chiang Mai. The coffee was absolutely outstanding, and the small bites that accompanied it were delicious. The soft cookies and pralines were particularly noteworthy. The team clearly knew what they were doing, and the attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the experience.

The cafe's location is unbeatable, offering a stunning view of the bustling street in front of Tha Pae Gate. It's the perfect spot to relax and recharge while taking in the sights and sounds of the city.

I highly recommend Single Origin Coffee to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. The combination of excellent coffee, delicious treats, and prime location makes it a must-try destination. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just looking for a great spot to people-watch, this cafe is sure to impress. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience it...
