The aptly named Caramellow Cafe is best known for its caramel-infused desserts and beverages—but it also delivers a solid savoury all-day brunch menu. With a delightful tropical garden tucked out back, it’s a sweet escape just minutes from Chiang Mai Airport—an ideal stop for both locals and travellers passing through.
Discovering the Charms of Caramellow Cafe
Set back from the busy Mahidol Road, along a quiet lane leading to the exclusive Parc Borough City Resort, the entrance to Caramellow sets a warm and welcoming tone with its soft terracotta brick exterior, framed by lush greenery. A black canopy adorned with gold lettering lends a touch of understated class, while a vintage-style yellow gas pump by the wall adds a charming hint of nostalgia.
Stepping Inside: Rustic Charm & Botanical Beauty
Step inside and you’re met with a space full of rustic, country charm. At its heart is a dramatic hanging garden that cascades from the ceiling—a botanical showpiece overflowing with ferns and white flowers. Below, a long wooden table doubles as both a communal dining spot and a display for handmade goods and curios, nestled among shelves and trailing greenery. The warm, homey feel continues with a mix of white and natural wooden chairs, art-covered walls, and a striking dark green feature wall animated by a tree-like artwork crafted entirely from mirror tiles.
The Back Nook: Where Bold Art Meets Cosy Productivity
Tucked at the back, a rich emerald green sofa sits beneath a bold portrait of a woman in crimson robes—it’s a striking visual statement that draws the eye. Just beyond, a built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelf acts as a clever divider, separating a cosy nook from the rest of the cafe. On one side, small round tables and a metal framed sofa create a quiet, tucked-away area; on the other, a long wooden communal desk runs the length of the bookshelf, complete with power outlets—perfect for those settling in with a laptop or a long read. It’s part library, part workspace, both functional and full of charm.
Mosaic Moments & Garden Magic
Outside, Caramellow Cafe’s garden is a leafy wonderland, dappled with sunlight and brimming with character. A paved pathway leads you past a teardrop-shaped wicker chair, sculptural hanging ornaments, a vibrant Gaudí-esque mosaic wall, quirky statues, and curious wire creations, before opening out onto a striking black-and-white checkerboard patio. Here, wicker chairs and tables sit beneath a leafy canopy, offering a tranquil spot to dine or sip at leisure.
Behind a sculptural wicker sun lounger, a gentle waterfall trickles over rocks into a small koi pond, while playful repurposed elements—like a yellow telephone box and the front of an old car—add a slightly surreal, artistic twist to the space.
At the far end of the garden stands ‘The Honor’—Parc Borough City Resort’s elegant business centre and library, available for private hire.
Caramellow’s garden is a gentle sanctuary—part gallery, part escape—where dappled light and whimsical details offer a creative and restful charm.
A Taste of Caramellow
At Caramellow Cafe, every dish begins with handpicked ingredients chosen for their freshness and quality. Their menu is inspired by the warmth of home cooking, crafted with care to bring out naturally rich flavours—without the use of artificial additives. True to their name, you’ll also find touches of caramel indulgence woven through their signature creations.
Hearty Plates & Comfort Bites
Caramellow’s food menu blends Western brunch favourites with Asian flair and hearty comfort dishes. Standouts among the pasta offerings include two signature dishes: the Bacon & Chilli Olio Spaghetti with Black Garlic and the Caramellow Sausage Spaghetti, both delivering bold, savoury flavours. From the sandwich section, the signature Midnight Sun croissant—with smoked salmon and poached egg—is a highlight. Meat lovers can indulge in the Lava Cheese Burger served with house fries, or the must-try rich Coffee Braised Pork Spare Ribs with Roti.
Whether you’re after creamy soups like Lobster Bisque, zesty starters such as Crunchy Fried Pork with Tamarind Sauce, or all-day brunch plates like Egg Shashuka, Avocado on Toast or Eggs Benedict, the variety promises something for every palate.
Signature Sweets & Comforting Classics at Caramellow
Desserts at Caramellow are playful and indulgent, with a strong leaning towards fusion and comfort. The signature Coconut Cake offers a soft, tropical sweetness, while the decadent Caramellow Chocolate Cake is a must-try for chocoholics. Unique pastries like the Cruffin Thai Tea, the signature Black Sticky Rice Croissant, and Brûlée French Toast with seasonal fruits bring texture and creativity. Warm treats like the Sizzling Caramellow Brownie Pan, served hot with caramel sauce and ice cream, elevate the dessert experience to a cosy delight.
Caramellow’s Crafted Beverages
Caramellow’s drinks menu is diverse and imaginative, featuring coffee classics alongside inventive signature and recommended beverages. Coffee lovers can enjoy the recommended Marshmallow Cappuccino, or the signature Yok Lor Granita with homemade caramel sauce, a Thai-style iced strong coffee (with Northern Province beans). Other highlights include Nam-Hom Coconut Panna Cotta with Doppio Espresso and fruity coffee fusions like Mango Coffee.
The signature drinks list spans from Royal Thai Milk Tea Latte to the nostalgic Vintage Natural Cola. Smoothies, sodas with homemade syrup, and kombucha-based refreshers round out the menu with vibrant, health-forward options.
Low-fat milk is available at no extra charge, while soy and almond milk options are offered for a small additional fee.
