Khum Cafe

Very beautiful, peaceful cozy atmosphere. Cute cafe located in the Khum museum. Tasty drinks. Lovely Cat can play with her all day long. Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend here if you are in old town area. Parking available at the back of museum.

The cafe’s interior is delightfully adorned with beautiful lanterns hanging from the wooden rafters, casting a cozy glow that perfectly complements the cafe’s vibe. You’re likely to be welcomed by an adorable orange cat who seems to have appointed itself as the friendly host, adding a touch of whimsy to the experience. The atmosphere at Khum Cafe feels like a perfect escape, where one can relax, enjoy a refreshing beverage, and take in the cafe’s elegant simplicity. Every corner of this cafe reflects a unique attention to detail that enhances the serene and rustic vibe.

Escape from the busy old town into this peaceful garden cafe. Walk through the front gates of the art gallery and turn left. The exterior is a lush garden with various shaded seating options. When it gets too hot venture inside the cafe for piano music and air conditioning. The drinks are well-made and well-priced. This is a perfect place to settle in for a few hours of reading, writing, contemplation, and quiet conversation.

I was expecting to see cats, however didn’t get disappointed. Owner is very friendly, the only one cat seems happy and I think he’s the actual boss of the cafe. Coffee is great, atmosphere is very calm and lots of plants… giving good and calm vibes…. Please visit the cafe if you are in Chiang Mai.

5 stars mostly on great vibes. Quiet, great outdoor seating. There are two cats here. They will interact with you but aren’t particularly snuggly. Both are fine being pet but didn’t seem to love it and instead wanted to be off independently. Very much acting like cats. I had a drink with peach tea, espresso, lime, and orange. Was pretty good. My boyfriend wasn’t a big fan of his Thai iced coffee - said the coffee tasted burnt. Service very good — the lady working here was super nice and had good English! She moved an umbrella outside for a different guest so they could sit without too much sun.

The atmosphere is shady. The shop is beautifully decorated and comfortable. It is in the city but quiet. I really like it. The weather is very nice.

A calm oasis just steps away from the busy old town streets. The lady working here speaks excellent English and is very friendly and happy to talk about the drinks on offer. I can't comment on the coffee quality as I had an iced Thai tea, which was really nice and not too sweet, which can often be the case. The main draw to this cafe however is the setting. It's like sitting in a huge garden, with plants and trees surrounding you. Definitely recommend this place as a change from the usual, sometimes slightly cramped feeling coffee shops. Lots of shade as well so that you can escape the heat, whilst still enjoying the outdoors.

Nice garden, no wifi, and their coffee is a bit too diluted. It’s not a bad place to sit and rest for a bit though. The cats here are super active running up in the tree. There aren’t many good chairs here as well.
