Frequently asked questions
Is the cafe vegetarian or vegan friendly?
Plant-based milks like soy or oat are usually available for an extra 20-30 baht. Pastries are not all vegan though so ask staff before assuming. Vegetarian-friendly food options vary day to day based on the bake.
What hours is Cha Tra Mue Chiang Rai open?
Opening hours are listed as 10:00-21:00. Hours can vary on Thai public holidays and during the low season so confirm by phone if making a special trip.
Does the cafe accept card or only cash?
Most independent cafes in Thailand accept cash and Thai QR PromptPay. Foreign credit cards are sometimes accepted but not guaranteed. Carrying 200-500 baht in cash is the safest approach.
