Tribal Coffbread — Restaurant in Mae Hong Son Province

Tribal Cafe is an absolute gem that I can’t believe I’ve been frequenting for years without leaving a review until now. It’s time I set that right. The coffee here is nothing short of extraordinary, rich and perfectly brewed every single time, with a depth of flavor that turns a simple cup into a morning ritual worth savoring. Pair that with their pastries, which are flaky, buttery masterpieces fresh from the oven (if you come in the morning). What elevates it all is the seating: cozy nooks inside with warm lighting, retro and comfortable chairs that make you want to linger for hours, or the charming outdoor patio where you can people-watch under the sun with a gentle breeze, feeling utterly at peace. This reminds me my auntie’s backyard in the countryside. Adding an extra layer of charm are the lovely owner and his wife, super friendly and polite, always greeting you with genuine smiles and warm conversation that make you feel like part of the family. The vibe is welcoming, the service thoughtful without being overbearing, and every visit leaves me recharged and smiling; if you’re anywhere near, do yourself a favor and make Tribal Cafe your...

BEST coffee and BEST place! If you like good coffee this is THE coffee shop you need to go to. On your own or with some friends, this place is just a hidden gem in Pai. I’ve spent 7 weeks in Pai, and never spent a day without going there. The coffee is excellent because of the quality of the beans but also the quality of the making. The buns and cookies they’re making and selling are very nice as well. If you’re lucky try the bologna (savory) and coconut chocolate (sweet). The owners are the nicest people, always very welcoming, kind and giving their best for your service. I didn’t have time to say goodbye, but thank you for all the coffees you made me, your place was just like a little home for me during my stay. Take care of your beautiful family and hope to see you again when...

My friend told me how much she loves this place so I had to try it. I was searching for a cozy cafe where I could get some work done and this is it! There’s Wi-Fi, fresh baked goods, and THE BEST FLAT WHITE IN PAI. Sometimes I made two visits a day for this drink. It is just perfect. Even the food is delicious!

The coffee shop is inconspicuous tucked back in a lot not far from walking street. The owners are very warm as well as the regular clientele. Just good vibes all around.

This entire lot is the trifecta of local gems. Each shop is top in its category and it’s still so...
