Vegan options in Chiang Mai - Edit
Joined some friends there during June, 2015.
Read moreThey had fresh juices, lots of vegan goodies with take-away options, and other vegan stuff as toothpaste, soaps etc
I enjoyed my time there, the patio's nice, but the waitress was a bit rude to customers.
Only tried a fresh smoothie, and a cinnamon roll, which were nice.
I guess you can find better places to go and enjoy in Chiang Mai!!
Pros: the patio, baked goodies, gluten free options
Cons: quite expensive for chiang mai, unfriendly owner (sometimes), the fishes in a LITTLE pond

quality restaurant with delicious food - Edit
Blue Diamond offers delicious vegan/vegetarian food! There are meat options on the menu and for this reason it can't be given 5 stars. It's my first trip to Chiang Mai and I keep coming back here because it's so good. It's not your 40 THB kind of place, and there ARE fantastic 40 THB eateries. Just had vegan chocolate cake (85THB) and a coffee with soy milk - yum! Other days I've had greek salad with tofu cubes instead of feta which cost 120 THB. A first and it worked! My friend had the Vietnamese Herbs vegetable salad, big portion and delicious! Green environment, with lots of plants. Also sells vegan products such as toothpaste and insect repellent. If you feel like a vegan sweet treat I'd definitely recommend Blue Diamond.
Read morePros: - consistently tasty food, - calm atmosphere with lots of plants, - delicious vegan cakes

lots of vegan options including baked goods - Edit
I called into Blue Diamond for dinner with a Thai friend ... I had a vegan massaman noodle curry with rice and my friend had fried mixed vegetables with rice (฿210 with a bottle of water) ... the quality and quanity of the food was good but it was not spicey (ask if you like spicey food) ... there is a lot of vegan baked goods on sale including bread rolls, croissants, baguettes, cupcakes and brownies ... staff were friendly and attentive ... you do not get a bill as you need to go to the counter to pay (not a very transparent business practice as you are not able to check menu pricing against the quoted cost of the meal)

Review of the bakery - Edit
THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE BAKERY!
Read moreThis bakery is AWESOME!
As a vegan, this place is sooo good! The bakery is not all vegan, but mostly. Only place I Asia where I got a real croissant! Cinnamon rolls are the right amount of greasy. The muffins are great, and the cakes and pies are amazing! i highly recommend the peanut butter pie and the vegan brownie. This place is great but ruined my budget (because i went there almost every day for 5 weeks :P)
Cons: A bit over priced., not fully vegan

A nice hang out with not too high standards - Edit
Been there every now and then over the years. The garden and the crowd hanging out is really relaxed, really nice. Food is borderline "healthy & tasty", but no love basically. Nothing is really good. But hey, it's a cool place to be! Guess that I one day will find myself having a semi delicious avocado salat in there again ...

not even worth it - Edit
Very cool atmosphere, lots of people, and shelves of fresh baked goods and natural health products had us excited for our breakfast here. It was boring, the baked beans were so bad even a spend thrift such as myself couldn't bare to finish them despite the fact I'd payed extra for them.
Read moreWe bought a loaf of rye sourdough for 280 baht, again, terribly disappointing. Dense and chewy in all the WRONG ways and the flavor was beyond SOUR.
The woman who rung us up was not especially rude but showed an ineptitude for any kind of customer service or acknowledgment that she was speaking to another human.
The best thing we got was a pumice stone... to scrub our feet.

Very unfriendly staff - Edit
We came here many times for the kombucha which wasn't even that good. The owner and waitresses were rude and not welcoming every time we visited there and the place smells old. Even though the garden is very nice. They have so many vegan options! Actually our non-vegan parents ate lunch and desserts there and they liked it very much. I personally would not go there again because we saw how badly they treated other customers too.

Great surprise! - Edit
We didn't expect much from Blue Diamond, but it turned out to be a great place to eat for vegans. They have vegan, gluten-free muffins, organic salads and hill tribe coffee :) Also, there is a store with fresh fruit, teas and spices. Would go back, but there are better vegan organic options in the city (more thai atmosphere)
Read morePros: GF vegan muffins :)
Cons: Not 100% vegan/vegetarian, But international oriented

Okay, but there's better - Edit
The food is good, but not special (for vegans anyway) - Blue Diamond is mostly a favourite along meateaters that love their breakfast (omelette etc.). Definitely get their cinnamon roll if you're into sweets though. Depending on how much time you have in Chiang Mai go eat somewhere else. Nice atmosphere in the garden, however I hate the fish they have swimming there in a little pond.
Read moreCons: expensive for what you get

great for desserts - Edit
As a vegan this place is great for desserts, everything is very clearly labelled which is great and there is a lot to choose from. Most of the desserts are lovely however a few can be quite dry.. For meals however Blue Diamond isn't anything special and is very pricey.. I visited here 5 times whilst in Chiang Mai and had rude customer service every time!

Awesome selection of vegan baked goods! - Edit
I only came for the baked goods and a vegan cappuccino, so I can't comment on the food, but the muffins, cinnamon roll, and croissants were fantastic!

only go if you want vegan pastry - Edit
They have decent vegan pastry and cakes. Espresso was alright but nothing to write home about.
Read moreWhat I didn't like was that they have fish in their garden. Having animals in captivity doesn't make this a vegan friendly place imho. Only come here if you crave vegan pastries during your travels.
Pros: vegan pastries , nice atmosphere in general
Cons: Fish in captivity in a cafe with vegan options??, coffee bit pricey and only average

How are you more offended about them having a fish pond than actually serving meat in their cafe? Seems like an overreaction.

great vegan pastry selection!!! - Edit
vegan croissant, cinnamon roll, choco brownies, coconuts cream pie, muffins, cookies, cakes, raw sweet.
Read moreWhatever you can imagine, they have it in vegan way.
Lots of gluten free selection as well!
I was looking forward to try vegan 12B donuts but they said they don't make it everyday and especially this season in May : (
Oh and do not try their soy yogurt! it tastes old and sour and not good at all.
Try their vegan tomato pasta! Very generous in volume : )
I wish they had a vegan ice cream!

great variety and delicious food! - Edit
Took me about ten minutes to decided what to eat due to the wide variety. Everything on the menu has a vegan alternative and tastes delicious! Also there is a lot of non breakfast food, and a lot of western and Thai choices. Kept on coming back here at least once a day!
Read moreAlso have a great health store with a bunch of natural products.

If you're craving that Western Food..... - Edit
Blue Diamond calls itself "The Breakfast Club" and you can indeed get a lot of Western Breakfast choices which is great if you're craving muesli or a pancake (the vegan version costs the same) for once. They also have breadrolls (which they bake themselves) with hummus/ baba ganoush and antipasti.
Read moreWe also tried two of the soups which were quite nice and not too expensive (around 50 Baht)
One thing that makes me keep coming back are the sweets. Unless you buy the 4 Pack Oatmeal Cookies which are like 80 Baht you can actually get vegan treats very cheap. Tried a cinnamon roll for 35 Baht, not even 1€!!
In Europe everything that is marked as vegan is prone to be overpriced even though the ingredients are often cheaper than the ones of a non vegan treat. But at Blue Diamond almost all of the bakery goods that are vegan (it's clearly marked) are delicious and cheap!
All in all if you're having a strong craving for Western Breakfast choices this is the place to go.
My bf was not that impressed, he said the soup he ordered the first time was a bit to salty and so was his (non-vegan) pancake. Also the honey had three dead ants swimming in it but what can I say.. I didn't encounter anything like that.
Pros: Good Taste, Portion sizes normal and filling, Great choices of Western Food
Cons: Pricy

Lovely garden setting with waterfalls and koi pond. Tables inside and out but no A/C
Avocado-Cheese-egg-tofu-burger on a multigrain bun (very good) 120Baht (exchange tofu for tempeh an extra 30B)
Veggie Tempura (tasty yet a bit too much batter)
Papaya salad (delicious!! First one I have had in Thailand that I could really enjoy without being overpowered with spices which is typical of Esan style)
Home Fries with bits of onion – very flavorful! 50B
Spinach soup- excellent 65B
Shake Mint Leaves-Honey & lemon – very good 75B
Lemon Meringue Pie (Okay but too chewy and not enough lemon for my taste)
Lots of wonderful looking desserts

great cake selection! - Edit
Finally we found a cafe with vegan cakes and muffins! They have interesting ones like avocado-ginger muffin. Also they offer coconut cappuchino! One muffin was a little dry but I think that's a matter of the recipe.
Read moreThe only thing that really stood out was, that nobody was smiling. They didn't respond when we said hello(sawadi krap) or thank you..
Prices are totally fine.

Vegan sweets - Edit
Kind of busy place for breakfast. Staff was a bit cold.
Read moreWe had the avocado tofu sandwich which was kind of tasteless. Didn't like the chocolate croissant, was old and dry. The chocolate cake was average.
The glutenfree banana muffin was really nice though! Big variety of baked goods. They also have an organic shop inside.
Cons: not cheap

Great options for Gluten free - Edit
I can't eat gluten, so the bakery at Blue Diamond is a rarity in Chiang Mai (and Thailand in general) with lots of vegan and / or gluten free treats like cinnamon rolls, coconut macaroons dipped in dark chocolate, plain rolls and loads of different muffins and cookies. I would stop by now and again to pick up baked goods!
Read moreAlso the store stocks some less common things for when I bake gluten free at home like chia and flax seeds. They also have health stuff like ginseng, maca, spirulina etc. and organic fruit and veg.
The garden is nice and shady, and as it's tucked down a side street it's pretty quiet. I've been here a few times to eat with friends and had one of their big salads. We've found the food has always been good, as have the staff, but I guess every day is different! One thing is we often think about coming here for Sunday brunch, then realise it's closed!
Pros: Gluten free bakery, Menu caters to all, Health food store on site

I didint really like it - Edit
the staff was not really nice. they were ok. (on the tip box said they dont charge service fee, so maybe because of it??)
Read moreI ordered tempe avocado burger (90THB) which had NO FLAVOUR. it was just slices of avocado, pan fried tempe and vegan bread. a waiter also brought a bottle of mayo and mustard. so I used only mustard (which seemed like a store bought)
and I also wanted to have a vegan muffin which displayed on a table near a cashier. so I asked her I want a muffin, she said "take it by yourself." the muffin was oily too.
when you want to pay, you have to go to the cashier and tell her what you had.
I didnt really like their food and service, so I will never go back there again.
Pros: vegan option, gluten free and vegan bakes
Cons: no flavour, bad service

Mixed feelings, but basically good - Edit
I went there for breakfast twice during my stay in Chiang Mai and had two pretty different experiences.
Read moreThe choice is huge and I especially loved their Tempeh-Avocado-Sandwiches and take-away sweets, such as vegan brownies, muffins and cookies. The food is good in general, but nothing exceptionally great. The banana oatmeal I had during my second visit was pretty disappointing though.
The place is usually quiet crowded with backpackers, which unfortunately can be pretty loud and stressful sometimes, even though their outside seating in the garden is beautiful! I think this is also a reason why the service seems to be a little overstrained and confused at times. They still manage to serve their food very quickly though.
They even have a little shop area where you can buy organic items, such as soap, incense and other souvenirs, which are mostly produced regionally.
Overall I think there are better breakfast places nearby, but this probably has the biggest variety.

Pros: beautiful outdoor seating, good food, take-away sweets + other organic goods
Cons: confused service, highly frequented
