WOO Cafe-Art Gallery-Lifestyle Shop is a multifaceted gem that seamlessly combines a stylish restaurant, curated art gallery, and lifestyle boutique into one charming experience. Located in the heart of the Chang Moi riverside district, this chic venue is far more than your typical gallery cafe—it’s an elegant restaurant and a destination in its own right.
Step into a World of Colour and Creativity
From the street, WOO Cafe beckons you in with a vibrant display of colourful blooms adorning the porch of a charming, traditional Thai wooden house. Step inside, and the cafe enchants you further with its airy, botanical interior. Bold, patterned wallpaper featuring tropical leaves in vibrant hues on a black background, decorate the walls, lending a touch of Victorian charm. An array of flowers and foliage, thoughtfully arranged in vases and planters of varying sizes, adds to the tropical feel.
Seating includes a plush yellow bench along one wall, cosy metal-framed sofas, and rustic wooden tables. The walls are also adorned with striking artwork, while whimsical antler chandeliers and colourful model-horse merry-go-rounds add playful touches, evoking another nostalgic nod to Victorian times. Spotless floor-to-ceiling mirrors spanning one wall play a clever trick, creating the illusion of a much larger space.
Beyond the wooden house interior, you step from sleek parquet flooring onto a striking black-and-white marble-tiled corridor that guides you into an extension. On either side, additional seating and tables await. This area has a more industrial vibe, with concrete floors and columns softened with red curtains, vibrant flowers and colourful fabrics. It’s a warm and inviting contrast.
Right at the back, there’s a space with more of a warehouse feel, set beneath a steel frame and corrugated roof. Here, the counter is cleverly concealed behind a towering, colourful display of vases, flowers, and lush foliage. It adds a vibrant touch to the industrial aesthetic, and rounds out the botanical theme.
A Fusion of Flavours: WOO Cafe’s Culinary Offerings
The food menu at WOO Cafe offers a mix of Thai and international favourites alongside their signature fusion dishes. Each dish is beautifully presented, showcasing Northern Thailand’s rich, delectable flavours. From Light Meals and Western Salads to heartier options like Sandwiches, Fish & Chips, and flavourful Pasta, WOO offers a diverse selection.
Thai highlights shine with vibrant dishes like the unique Rice Salad from the Thai Salad menu, rich Curry & Soup, and Rice & Noodles, including the northern favourite Khao Soi. Indulgent Desserts and Cakes & Ice Cream round out the menu, featuring classics like Mango Sticky Rice, Banoffee Pie and a stunning Carrot Cake.
The drinks menu at WOO Cafe is equally varied. Featuring espresso-based coffee options, including the indulgent Affogato, alongside teas such as Matcha Green Tea and the creamy Coconut Matcha Latte. Herbal & Flower Organic Tea selections add a delicate touch, in keeping with the cafe’s floral theme, while juices, sparkling sodas, and herbal drinks like Butterfly Pea Lemon Juice offer refreshing choices. For something yoghurty, thick Smoothies—generous fruity offerings—are like a meal in a bowl.
Shop the WOO Lifestyle: Art & Treasures at WOO Cafe
Upstairs, above the cafe, you’ll find the WOO Cafe Art Gallery. This gallery space hosts rotating exhibitions showcasing local artists, eclectic art pieces, sculptures, as well as figurative and abstract paintings. It perfectly complements the cafe’s artistic ambience and is well worth a visit. Especially if the pieces displayed downstairs have already caught your eye.
The Lifestyle Shop, located at the back of the cafe, is a delightful trove of curated home décor and artisanal crafts. From pottery and locally-produced textiles to handcrafted jewellery, stylish homeware, and quirky trinkets, it offers a chance to take a piece of WOO’s distinctive charm home.
