LANN Cafe - Simply Chiang Mai

Set within Villa Alanna, a boutique stay on Bunrueang Rit Road just across from Chiang Mai’s Old City moat, LANN Cafe unfolds as a peaceful little sanctuary where modern design meets quiet charm. It’s the kind of place you stumble upon and immediately want to linger — all soft morning light, tranquil greenery, and the gentle clink of coffee cups mingling with the sound of water from the nearby pool. Whether you’re a guest or simply passing by, LANN offers a refined yet relaxed escape from the city’s rhythm.

The cafe’s all-day menu reflects its calm, contemporary spirit — from beautifully plated breakfasts and elegant Thai classics to plant-based favourites and signature drinks crafted with care. It’s a place made for slowing down, savouring the moment, and letting time slip by gracefully.

Glass House Serenity at LANN Cafe

LANN Cafe sits within a striking glass house, surrounded by lush tropical plants and the understated elegance of Villa Alanna’s grounds. Natural light floods the space, blurring the line between indoors and out as it bounces off glass-topped tables and pale wooden finishes.

The best of both worlds at LANN Cafe — a cool glasshouse interior and dappled garden seating

A large tree rises through the structure, its branches mingling with the canopy outside — a beautiful reminder that nature is very much part of the design. Inside, soft rattan textures, lush potted plants, and subtle Lanna-inspired details create a calm, almost meditative atmosphere.

Step outside and you’ll find a leafy garden area, a relaxed gravelled space with shaded seating under the trees. Wicker furniture and simple white tablecloths keep the look understated yet refined, making it the sort of place where you can linger for hours with a book, an iced coffee, or a slice of cake.

All-Day Dining at LANN Cafe

Breakfast & Brunch Beginnings

At LANN Cafe, mornings unfold gently with wholesome breakfasts like The Classic, a generous spread of eggs, bacon, and pastries, or The Pure Poached, featuring avocado, poached eggs, and salad. For something sweet and plant-based, the ALANNA Vegan Waffles with coconut flower syrup are a highlight — indulgent yet entirely vegan.

Thai Favourites with a Modern Twist

As the day goes on, the menu turns towards refined comfort food with local flair. Favourites include the ALANNA Fried Rice and Signature Spaghetti with Chiang Mai herbal sausage, while the Nam Prik Nhoom Set — a smoky green chilli dip served with sticky rice, pork rinds, and organic vegetables — offers a true taste of Northern Thailand.

Global Comforts, Beautifully Crafted

International options like the Avocado Rocket Salad, Classic Pesto Pasta, and the juicy LANN Burger all shine, but the Steak Sandwich, layered with tender Australian striploin, pesto, and mustard mayo, might just steal the show. A menu that’s fresh, balanced, and beautifully crafted from start to finish.

From Coffee to Cocktails

LANN Cafe’s drinks menu spans the spectrum — ranging from expertly brewed coffee and aromatic teas to refreshing smoothies and signature mocktails. The cafe’s creative baristas turn simple sips into statement drinks, like the Alancia, a bold espresso brightened with fresh orange juice, or the Coco Royale, blending coconut and coffee into tropical harmony.

Tea drinkers can unwind with a floral Lavender Rose or tangy Passion Peach, while the mocktails — from Peony Punch to Sip a Bubbly — are as pretty as they are refreshing.

And since LANN Cafe sits within a hotel, it’s no surprise they also pour a fine selection of alcoholic drinks — from Chiang Mai craft beers to elegant wines and cocktails like the Rosé Margarita and coffee-kissed All That Jazzy!
