ππΌπππ π°π― π΅π©π¦ π―π°π³π³ Coffee and Rooftop bar
Perched above Chiang Mai's Changklan area, this coffee shop and rooftop bar combines two distinct experiences under one roof β specialty coffee served against an elevated backdrop, and an evening bar atmosphere that draws both locals and travellers looking to unwind after dark. The rooftop setting is the standout feature, offering an open-air vantage point that makes it a natural choice for those wanting to watch the city transition from dusk into night.
The venue leans into its hillside position, with the rooftop bar being the primary draw once evening sets in. Visitors can expect a relaxed but atmospheric setting, suited to casual drinks, small gatherings, or a quiet wind-down at the end of the day. The coffee offering gives it a dual identity, appealing to those arriving for the ambience as much as the menu.
On Sundays, the venue opens earlier at 9:00 AM, making it one of the few days it functions as a daytime coffee destination. All other days, doors open at 5:30 PM and the venue runs through to midnight. Given the rooftop nature of the space, visiting around sunset is likely to offer the most rewarding experience. The Facebook page listed on their profile is the best place to check for any updates on events or seasonal changes before visiting. The address on Changklan Road places it within reasonable reach of the Night Bazaar area.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best β high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
