The long-term goal of the cafe is to create a community made up of like-minded human beings, made up of both locals and travelers alike. The team here also wants to bring positive change in the world with good food and healthy practices that help both the humans and the planet they call home.
The menu features a wide array of dishes that are both vegetarian and vegan, but one thing that sets this cafe apart are the many delicious and animal product-free desserts they are dishing out. Check out the chocolate brownie for only ฿60, or instead indulge in a delicious Thai favorite: the pumpkin in coconut milk (฿50). There is also banana with coconut milk (฿50), raw and vegan mango and coconut cheesecake (฿100), and mango with sticky rice (฿80). Whether you come here for the vegan desserts, the laid-back vibe, a yoga class, or simply to chill with the lovely owner, you cannot go wrong by visiting Bodhi Tree Cafe.

As one of our favorite restaurants in all of Chiang Mai, we were not surprised that Cat House was equipped with plenty of vegan desserts in addition to delicious food.
