MiYo coffee & bar — Restaurant in Chiang Rai Province

The coffee is always good; P Miyo and her team have been together and at this for quite some time with decades of experience amongst them, true professionals.

Pass the hit & miss, inexperienced Instagram cafés and shops that have popped up along the mountain and instead head here for an authentic and warm experience, with some damn good...

Great view and nice staff! but sadly the coffees weren’t good. The cappuccino was Luke warm and filled with so much milk we could hardly taste the coffee.

Maybe it was just a off day but hopefully that can be...
