“ The best coffee I’ve ever tasted in chiang mai. Honestly. Small place but gorgeous lay out and design… but the real star of the show is the coffee. Delicious. (Also has parking!) ”
“ This place has the most stunning design, a small but well-organized place with green all over. Great coffee, and tasty food with vegetarian options (they also change some of the ingredients for my lactose intolerance friend). I loved the quiet atmosphere ”
“ This cafe is situated along Hwy 121 of Cholpraten Canal which I happen to drive by and decided to get a coffee boost. I was welcomed into beautifully interior and exterior designed decor that’s just too minimalistically perfect that is almost spaces that are unliveable. If you are a minimalist, this is a must go establishment. They serve local Thai food as well as western and their coffee is thumbs up good! Nice smooth and strong. I had their basil chicken rice with egg as an add on coupled with the perfect coffee - their Signature Crate Coffee. Overall, a really nice cafe to chillax and tuck yourself comfortably warm into! ”
“ Love this place!!! So chill here a big garden, cold inside with a good menu with great breakfast/ coffee. This is such a rare combo for these kind of prices. Normally a place has good coffee but not good food, or good food, not good coffee. Crate has good both, friendly staff, and beautiful garden. Happy to just chill, or work here as wifi is plenty fast. Keep up the good work team! ”
“ Really nice place with different areas. Food is always amazing and good value. Staff are nice . Only note is the back patio area could do with some renovations eg if they added another dining area there or fixed it up abit. ”
“ The place has a really nice atmosphere with a cozy wooden and green vibe. The chocolate blended drink was really good. I had the Larn Kua as my main dish — it didn’t taste super traditional, but it was still delicious. If I get the chance, I’d definitely come back here! ”
