Tips
- Wawee Coffee's riverside branch has the biggest tables of the four, useful if you're working rather than just drinking coffee.
- Doi Chaang's flagship shop sells its own beans on site at a lower price — worth the stop for beans alone, separate from the 80-140 THB coffee.
- Chivit Thamma Da's garden seating fills up at weekends; book a table ahead if you want it on a Saturday or Sunday.
- The in-town Doi Tung shop is convenient for a quick coffee, though the mountain branch of the same outlet is the one worth the detour if you have time.
- All four picks fall in the 80-180 THB range for a coffee, so location and seating matter more here than price.
