Calling all sweet tooths, you’re in for quite a treat! Not only is Chiang Mai home to some of the best cuisine in the world, but it’s also got enough dessert cafes to satisfy your every craving (and possibly give you a cavity or eight). Dessert cafes in Chiang Mai aren’t just about the sweets they offer, but about the ambiance overall. These unique cafes not only have great food presentation, but they provide an experience to escape the chaos of the city. Most of these places are located in the trendy neighborhood of Nimman, but we’ve also found a few in and around the old city. So get your stretchy pants on and get ready to indulge in all that is sweet in Chiang Mai!
