HJ Hour Journey

My new favorite cafe in Chiang Rai !! Good vibe, nice coffee, and high quality Thai dessert. Such a homey and cozy place!

What a lovely coffee. Be ready for the most hospitable owner that I met. He explained me a lot about coffee with so much passion. Additionally I really loved the home made thai sweets. Thanks a lot for the great time spend at your place. ☕️

We stopped here for a lunch break before continuing our bicycle tour to the White Temple. It was worth it. The owner (who also speaks English) is very passionate about coffee, which is something I seldom see in a cafe. He knows about a lot of local and imported coffee. We ended up having a "coffee class" and coffee tasting with him. The cafe serve drip coffee, which we like best. We would love to taste more coffee, but we had to stop ourselves since we had to continue our bicycle trip. For lunch I had a bun with coconut, and a thai sweet that is formed as a tiny, yellow and purple pineapple (which, if I remember correctly, is made of a kind of potato with pineapple filling), while my husband had a kind of bread with cheese and bacon served with the cafe's own sriracha based sauce. I recommend the bread with the cheese and bacon. The bun with coconut is also good. The yellow and purple pineapple thai sweet has an acquired taste and texture. This is probably the best cafe we've ever had in Thailand so far and we would definitely come back here if we have the chance.

The espresso here is very good, but the chocolate used in the mocha is very unique. The owner informed us he mixes it himself using cacao from Chiang Rai. The mocha was very bitter to allow the coffee to shine. It was excellent. The art in my latte was also amazing!
