Okay but not great

It has the potential but didn’t live up to expectations. I sat down and realised that they have an koi river, it seems like a really cool setting but not sure about the veganness of it as it’s not a very big space.

The menu looked quite good with the option of having continental breakfasts (mainly a pastry with jam and some juice or tea), muesli bowls or pancakes. They also have a couple counters inside with baked goods and a shop with loads of organic/wholefoody-type things.

I ordered chocolate waffles, a muesli bowl, and then bought some sweet treats for the next couple days including a doughnut, cinnamon roll, a moon cake with durian and a banana passionfruit muffin. The waffles were nice, quite crumbly and on the dry side but tasty, the muesli was not fantastic, it tasted burnt and the soy yoghurt was very sour. I think the cinnamon roll was okay but the doughnut was very dry and bland, the moon cake and muffin were really not to my taste. Gutted because they have loads of awesome-looking vegan baked goods but they didn’t taste great.

What a horrible experience!

We came with high hopes, as there are so many good Reviews but this was just the worst experience we had in Chiang Mai.
The Food was aweful and the staff is super unfriendly!
The Price was, for what it was, way too high - we paid nearly 600 Baht for Food we were not able to eat.
If you think about going there - don't

Cons: Price , Staff, Food

Don't make me make titles

Lots of delicious vegan pastries and deserts. Had the peanut butter chocolate pie and it was delicious! It is expensive though and there was only one vegan options on the set breakfast menu - however the tofu scramble was also the best I've had in Thailand

Always fresh and delicious

I've been going to this place for more than 20 years and I've never been disappointed. The owners are delightful and the service is good. The garden is cute and comfy. There is a huge range of vegan baked goods; I especially love the multigrain bread rolls. My favourite is the Vietnamese herb salad. Huge, spicy and tasty, and you can add avocado for extra texture and flavour. All drinks can be made with plant milks too.

Lots of options

I’d say about 80 percent of the baked goods are vegan. Milk alternatives and other options as well. Great place for breakfast.

Vegan diner food options, great carrot cake

Blue Diamond is non-veg restaurant and many of their menu items are traditional diner type/American/English food with a focus on meat. However, they do offer a vegan option for almost everything on their menu if you ask, there are some labeled options as well. The food does not seem to be prepared/cooked separately. The outdoor seating is lovely and staff are kind. We came here once for breakfast and once to try a piece of their vegan carrot cake. I found the vegan breakfast to be nice but nearly as enjoyable as some other options in the area. The carrot cake however was fantastic.

Pros: Vegan alternatives , Lots of baked goods, Outdoor seating

Cons: Food on the greasier side

Excellent vegan options at this leafy chill restaurant.

Loads of vegan options. Clearly sign posted which are vegan. Can add meat to every dish so great for vegans eating with meaty pals. Has a cute shop inside which sells loads of vegan yoghurt/ bread / vegan cheese etc which is extremely hard to come by here.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Really clear which options are vegan, Amazing adjoining shop with vegan products

One of my favorites since +10 years ago

Fresh food, a wide variety of both Thai and western dishes, always tasty, and very accommodating for every need. They bake their breads including gluten-free and whole-grains. It’s also a good place for an informal business meeting -they have all sorts of different tables. And they even have their brand of natural products, as it’s one of the best stocked-up greengrocers in the area (organic veggies and fruit, herbs & teas, incense, toiletries, superfoods, snacks, etc.) Do yourself a favor and visit them. #Veganuary

Pros: Excellent variety for all dietary needs, Socially responsible family business w/a shop!, Laptop friendly w/private terrace & indoor seats

Great food and shop

First visited the shop and bakery. Extensive vegan baked products and other items which were pretty tasty. Went there for food too in their garden which is pretty and relaxing. Had a tofu burger with chips and banana pancakes with maple syrup. They have a lot of vegan options for a place that has meat on the menu. #Veganuary

Good selection of vegan baked goods

I'm not sure how to rate this place. On the one hand, they have a large selection of vegan baked goods. I especially like the croissants, and the donut was like a yummy cake. You can order on grab too, which is nice for a leisurely croissant and coffee at home.

On the other hand, the restaurant is very centered on meat and other animal products. They also have a koi pond, which is cruel to the fish. And lastly, I'm not 100% certain that everything they label as vegan really is. For example, I think it was the raisin bread that had a gloss that really looked like egg wash.

The coffee I've had there isn't good, so I prefer to just order stuff or get it to go. Strangely though, when I've ordered coffee on grab, it has actually been pretty good. Either it's my imagination or they're using a different prep.

Pros: Vegan baked goods

Cons: Koi pond, Meat-based menu, Are all those products really vegan? Let's hope so

Everything what you need as a vegan

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how many vegan options they offer. The prices are a bit more expensive but still reasonable. The restaurant has a beautiful garden to enjoy the food outside.
I ordered a sandwich and my boyfriend the Pad Thai a small fruit salad for sharing and we were more than stuffed. Everything was so packed with flavour. Absolutely appreciated this place.

Breakfast for take away

I ordered a Bagel with Guacamole and a cinnamon roll. Both were delicious. The food came with a free fruit salad and a lemongrass juice.

Meh

I hosted a vegan meetup here a couple months back, and despite the fact that I had made a reservation a week in advance, and messaged that morning to confirm the number attending, they did not have any tables reserved for us when we go there. I and other guests spent 5-10 minutes helping the staff find and move around tables and chairs to fit us all together, and the arrangement was far from ideal. Additionally, I had to go around and cleared the menus, put the confiments on the tables, and get napkins and water for the other guests, as the staff did not remember to do so.

Personally, I was very disappointed with my order. The "bbq tofu" was not barbecued or even marinated, it was just plain tofu with bbq sauce on the side. I had to deconstruct my sandwich and then put it all back together myself. The sauce was very runny and made the bun soggy, and everything fell apart.

The other guests provided feedback for me to include as well:
"perfectly average"
"as expected"
"fast!"
"very nice atmosphere"
"friendly staff"
"large menu-overwhelming"
"my drink wasn't full when delivered"
"so good"
"huge portions"
"nice garden"

After this event, I decided to give the restaurant another shot and ordered some baked goods from them for delivery. When my order arrived, there was mold on both of the items. I will probably not be eating or ordering from here again.

Pros: Beautiful outdoor seating area w/ good atmosphere, Big portions, Fast service

Cons: Average food for above average prices, Unprepared/forgetful staff, Moldy bagels

Salads from heaven

The salads and baked goods from this place are amazing. Portion sizes are big and has a very cute vibe. Loved that they put the dressing on the side so I could add it myself. I would come back to Chiang Mai just for the Tempeh salad.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Free water

Cons: A little bit pricy compared to local Thai food

Relaxed cafe with attached shop

Blue Diamond is a Chiang Mai favorite which feels predominantly vegetarian although there's a good choice for vegans. There are Western and Thai dishes, a wide range of juices and teas, and gluten free products both in the cafe and attached shop.

It's a perfect spot to meet friends and have a relaxed breakfast or do a bit of work. Quiet, serene atmosphere in a little tropical garden.

Pros: Peaceful garden, Great range of food and produce, Wide range of different juices and teas

Cons: Plastic straws altho bamboo available for charge

Very nice place

Beautiful place to chill out, lots of vegan choises for breakfast. I loved to spend my free mornings there or to just take some takeaway sweets, which are simple and delicious.

Oh my god they have vegan donuts, croissants and cakes

My wife wanted to try everything but I sensibly instilled calm and rationality into the mix and suggested we try 3 things and come back another day. So we had the donut and multi grain croissant which were both lovely. Start with the croissant because it isn't overly sweet more savoury and the donut is covered in sugar most of which we rubbed off. Last we had the carrot cake which was very nice but we found the frosting to be a bit disappointing, it was overly sweet and rock hard... a soft cream (not) cheese flavoured with carrot and orange is usually my preference for carrot cake. I mentioned this to the staff who were very friendly and seemed receptive to my idea for how the carrot cake could be improved by replacing the hard frosting with a cashew nut carrot and orange cream (not) cheese. Lovely all the same. We'll be back tomorrow no doubt to try a bunch more delicacies
