Overstand Cafe
Overstand Cafe is found within the Old City and is serving up some of the most delicious breakfast items you will find in all of Chiang Mai. This eatery is perfect for those international travelers who are feeling nostalgic and wanting some reminders of home, as Overstand’s menu boasts some of the best Western brunch foods. One of our favorite brunch items was the oven roasted mushrooms on fresh sourdough, which was covered in pesto sauce and topped with rocket, chives, and feta cheese. Breakfast only starts at ฿100 (about $3), as well, making it one of the most affordable venues on our list. The food here is best enjoyed with one of their signature coffees, like the incredible and delicious ice coconut espresso (฿100). In addition to having great brunch options, this restaurant is also equipped with a few games to keep you busy while you indulge, including Cards Against Humanity, Uno, Tic-Tac-Toe, and more.

Rustic & Blue opened in 2012 in the Nimman area and has been serving up an all-day breakfast ever since.

Libernard Cafe
Libernard Cafe certainly knows how to advertise. The large sign out front declares to all who pass that it has the best coffee in town and serves up all-day breakfast in Chiang Mai. We were certainly intrigued and are happy we stopped by. The cafe itself is simple, equipped with only six tables and wooden seating on colorfully tiled flooring. It is definitely worth a stop, however. Libernard Cafe is renowned for its famous pancakes, including their banana oatmeal pancakes, banana strawberry pancakes, and more. Ravenous diners may instead opt for one of the banana pancake sets, which includes tasty items like coffee, bacon, eggs, and even vanilla ice cream, depending on which one you select. Add-ons are incredibly affordable, as well, so feel free to mix and match until you have created your perfect brunch set.
