Ristr8to Original Cafe is a must visit when in Chiang Mai. The owner and barista, Arnon “Tong” Thitiprasert, is obsessed with the number eight which can be seen in their opening hours from 7:08 am until 10:08 pm, the price of every drink contains an 8, and Arnon even named his son Ristr8to. Thitiprasert flies to Singapore to handpick beans for up to eight blends of coffee from all different regions, ensuring the freshest and finest beans are available. His menu explains regional differences in coffee, including grade, processing and roasting techniques. Experience the amazing coffees aswell as signature creations like Shaken Irish Coffee (combination of Jameson whiskey, Kahlua, and Colombian coffee). Be sure to visit at Ristr8to Lab, just around the corner from the Original branch, while in Chiang Mai for a true local experience.
