Our Chiang Mai Breakfast World Highlights
Something many full-time travelers will no doubt relate to is that sometimes, you just want a taste of home.
It happens to us, of course, occasionally we will wake up in the morning and we fancy an English breakfast (or some variation of it).
We have enjoyed Thai food and have explored many options, but we do find that a good breakfast cafe has typically been hard to come by.
That is not just here, too; in what we have seen in Asia so far, that is fairly typical.
Not a big deal for us, as there is always the grocery store, but we all know it is not the same!
So finding a place like Breakfast World could not have been more perfect for us!
Breakfast World Restaurant really is a culinary delight, nestled in a super cute, quiet backstreet neighborhood that is so synonymous with Thailand as a whole.
Come off the beaten path, and you never know what delights you will find!
We are so impressed by the choice, ambience, and most importantly, the food at Breakfast World that we have been four times already!
It is over 30 minutes away from our home, in the heart of Chiang Mai, but even the distance and Chiang Mai congestion (and ring road madness) can't stop us.
⪢ A Breakfast Paradise
In our opinion, Breakfast World Restaurant caters to many needs.
It offers a haven for those seeking a memorable morning feast, while maintaining a great selection for those looking for something a little lighter.
There is good coffee and plenty of cold combinations too, so it is also well suited to those nomads who are looking for a decent spot to set up in Chiang Mai.
Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, setting the perfect stage for a delicious start to your day.
The restaurant's decor is very charming, a canopy of trees shielding diners from the worst of the sun, while tactfully placed floor fans keep you cool.
The tables and chairs are rustic and comfortable too, coupled with attentive staff, Breakfast World creates an experience that's both welcoming and enjoyable.
⪢ A Cornucopia of Flavors
At Breakfast World Restaurant, prepare to be tantalized by an extensive menu that caters to as many taste buds as we can think of.
Whether you're a fan of traditional breakfast classics or prefer to indulge in local delicacies, this restaurant menu has it all. Including edible flowers!
From freshly baked pastries to hearty omelets, and from international favorites to authentic Thai breakfast delights, there's something to satisfy every palate.
The restaurant is German-owned, and the menu has an extensive list of German dishes, with lunch and dinner options too.
More on the food and menu in the next section.
Beyond its diverse menu, Breakfast World Restaurant offers a solid dining experience that goes beyond the taste buds.
Really good service, attention to detail, and a comfortable ambiance make every visit truly enjoyable every time.
Whether you're starting your day with a solo breakfast, enjoying a meal with friends, or having a cozy family gathering, this restaurant caters to all occasions.
There is even a bunny pen, which we totally did not even notice the first few times! So so cute!
We had a rabbit in Canada, a free-roaming Netherlandish dwarf bunny called Bun Bun.
We miss him as we had to give him up for adoption when we left for our full-time travels.
Every time we see a rabbit, we think about Bun Bun!
The Food & Menu at Breakfast World
⪢ The Drinks
Chiang Mai Breakfast World has a wide variety of drink options, including coffee, tea, juice, and smoothies. Here are some of the most popular drink options:
● Coffee: including espresso, cappuccino, latte, and Americano.
● Tea: including black tea, green tea, herbal tea, and chai tea.
● Juice: including orange juice, apple juice, pineapple juice, and grapefruit juice.
● Smoothies: including strawberry smoothie, banana smoothie, mango smoothie, and avocado smoothie.
In addition to these drink options, Chiang Mai Breakfast World also offers a number of alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, and cocktails, including margaritas, mojitos, and daiquiris.
We have tried the tea, several different coffees, and also one of the smoothies.
All of the drinks have been spot on! Our only slight critique is that sometimes the coffee is served more lukewarm than piping hot. Certainly no deal-breaker though!
We must warn you though that if you order a coffee, state that you want it hot (if you do). As with many Thai restaurants, it will be assumed you want it cold if you don't!
⪢ The Food
In our view, Breakfast World Restaurant goes above and beyond with a menu that is so extensive, it is almost overwhelming!
It has become a very popular breakfast spot in Chiang Mai, amongst not just tourists but locals and expats too.
They must have a big larder here too because every dish here is a big portion (be prepared for that haha), beautifully presented and full of extras such as fresh fruit, brownies, and breads.
The menu includes everything from American-style breakfasts like pancakes and waffles to Thai-inspired breakfasts like khao tom moo krob (rice with stir-fried pork and holy basil).
There are also a number of European-style breakfast options, such as sandwiches, omelettes, and croissants.
In addition to breakfast, Chiang Mai Breakfast World also serves lunch and an early dinner (most days they close at 5 pm).
The lunch menu includes a variety of German, Thai, and Western dishes, and the dinner menu features a number of Thai curries and stir-fries.
Special Events at Chiang Mai Breakfast World
Chiang Mai Breakfast World has several special events throughout the year. Here are a few of the most popular:

How to Get to Breakfast World Restaurant
Getting to Breakfast World Restaurant in Chiang Mai is easy and convenient. Here are a few options for reaching the restaurant:
By Taxi
Taxis are readily available throughout Chiang Mai. Simply hail a taxi and provide the driver with the address of Breakfast World Restaurant.
It's always a good idea to have the address written down or saved on your phone for clarity. The restaurant's staff can assist in providing the address if needed.
By Bike or Car
This is our preferred option, although the entrance to the street is easy to miss. It is a small street just to the right of Wat Sai Moon Muang on Mun Mueang Road.
If you are coming from the opposite side of the road, be aware that it is an immediate left after you exit the U-turn area, which is almost directly in front of it.
Parking is also a little tricky, as it is very limited and the street is extremely narrow.
We have never not found a spot, though.
By Tuk-Tuk
Tuk-tuks are a popular mode of transportation in Chiang Mai.
These three-wheeled vehicles can be found on most streets and can take you directly to Breakfast World Restaurant.
Negotiate the fare with the driver before starting the journey.
By Grab
Grab is a ride-hailing app widely used in Southeast Asia.
Download the Grab app on your smartphone, set your pickup location, and enter the address of Breakfast World Restaurant as your destination.
The app will provide you with a fare estimate and connect you with a driver.
By Public Transportation
Chiang Mai has a well-established public transportation system.
You can use the city's red songthaews (shared taxi-like trucks) or hop on a local bus that passes by the area.
Ask locals or consult with your accommodation's front desk for the most convenient bus or songthaew routes.
It's advisable to check the restaurant's operating hours and plan your visit accordingly.
Additionally, consider the traffic conditions in Chiang Mai, especially during peak hours, to ensure a smooth journey.
