Why it matters
Why Chivit Thamma Da Coffee House, Bistro & Bar is worth your time
Many visitors see the Blue Temple and then struggle to find somewhere to sit and eat in the same direction. A bistro with proper seating, coffee and desserts close by solves that, particularly for older travellers who need a rest before heading back to town.
It is a visitor-oriented place, not a traditional northern Thai restaurant, so treat it as a comfortable break. Judge it on the menu and your own visit.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
Combine the visit with the Blue Temple, which is close by according to the source. Arrive mid-morning or late afternoon and ask for a table in the shade, or indoors if it is hot.
The source names pineapple fried rice, tom yum goong and coconut cake among other desserts, and describes Western and modernised Thai food in a European-style setting. A sensible order for a mixed family is coffee, one rice dish to share and a dessert. We have not seen a menu, so we do not name other dishes or prices.
Vegetarians should ask for dishes without meat, fish sauce or shrimp paste, because tom yum goong is a prawn soup and pineapple fried rice may contain egg. It is not tagged, as there is no evidence of strict vegetarian cooking.
