Butter is Better Diner & Bakery

This place you have to come for their breakfast. Delicious and service is very good.
I had English Breakfast and portion for the amount I paid 350 Bhat was economical.
Their menu for breakfast is very extensive.
Definately will come again.

A terrific place for a hearty brunch. We all loved our meals, and last time my son was thrilled to find fresh bagels (lox and cream cheese on offer, too). Feels a bit like an East coast diner, complete with big menu, booths, and vaguely 1950s decor. Service was friendly and prompt. Only minor oddity is was the sign saying tax is calculated extra as in the U.S., though there was no sign of that charge when the bill came.

American diner experience with mid last century decor. Trippy. Great buttermilk pancakes
2023 same place but roast potatoes are extra now
2024 stopped in for pie and coffee. My American food fix! The clam chowder is incredible.

After passing by this place a number of times I decided to give it a try for brunch and I'm glad I did. The food is great and makes me feel like I'm back in the states. The owner offered us a sample of Chocolate Torte and it was delicious. Will definitely be back soon, highly recommend if you're looking for western food in Chiang Mai.

HUGE thank you to this amazing restaurant and bakery! My husband is gluten free and I was able to custom order him a chocolate cake for his birthday. The cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious - one of the best GF cakes I’ve had!!! The owner was so helpful and kind and responded to all my messages quickly. They even had it delivered to the dinner restaurant via GRAB express! They truly went above and beyond.
We also had brunch here and enjoyed the fun diner atmosphere and delicious food. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you for everything!!! 🙏

EVERYTHING was excellent. Amazing pancakes. Very good gluten-free bread, pancakes and biscuits. My daughter was so happy. Oh, and gluten-free cinnamon rolls. The pastrami was as good as back home. Can't believe I've not been aware of this place on my previous visits to CM. Will come again and highly recommend .

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Friendly staff, great old-school diner theme, delicious food, reasonabke price and the place generally had a real good 'feel' to it. We will be returning. 5 stars!

Nice American style diner with a lot of cool retro American decor. Comfortable and spacious seating area with a very large menu. Breakfast, brunch dinner and dessert all taken care of within their menu. They also have a large drink and smoothie selection all at a fairly reasonable price considering the food that you get. Friendly and helpful staff. They have a little buzzer on the tables so you can easily call staff over when you have decided what you want and are ready to order, or for when you would like to request the bill. Very good egg selections.

So yummy! After a week traveling around Thailand we were really craving a greasy American breakfast and this spot delivered. It’s not supposed to be fancy and definitely decorated to mimic an old school American diner which is super cute. Best part is our 2 breakfast meals, smoothie and iced latte came out to around $12 USD.

What a surprise! Didn’t have high expectations when came here, turned out to be a must try in CM if you craving for some real American 🇺🇸 foods. All of the dishes we ordered were great! Especially the root beer float - a real deal!

A really authentic American style diner in Chiang Mai. The decor is fabulous and the menu is very extensive.

I have to say the food is absolutely delicious. My new favourite place in Chiang Mai

Delicious "American Diner" style food. Good portion sizes and decent price (more pricey for Thailand food but reasonable prices if compared to American prices). They kinda operate a cat rescue in the restaurant so you may have a cat surprise you during your meal.

Really yummy place for gluten free waffles and pancakes and other brunch items. The design will remind you of classic American style diner except located in the heart of Chiang Mai. They offer other dishes that's not gluten free. I ordered eggs Benedict gluten free and it was really delicious and rich with hollandaise sauce the way I like it :)

What an amazing place! My husband is severely gluten intolerant (allergic) and we were delighted to find that this restaurant serves gluten free foods. He tasted his first American biscuits and gravy and said they were amazing! Will definitely have more meals here next time we're in Chiang Mai. LOVED the captions on the menu! We laughed over and over!

This is a great place to have a non-Thai breakfast (not that I don't like Thai food). The food is delicious, and quality is high. During one of my visits, I ordered a muesli bowl with yogurt and fruits. It was very delicious and very good quality. Coffee is also very good. The service personal is very friendly and attentive.

The great breakfast places remind me an old day style. The blueberry pancake very good, the best pancake ever in Thailand, egg Benedict was great too.

Good ambience, like a US Diner. Quite varied menu, but I've tried just a few breakfast options, which were quite good. The service is nice and fast. I like that they have this buzzer to ask for service. Prices are ok, of course more expensive than the typical Thai options that the locals eat. The fact that the 7% vat is not already included in the price is a bit annoying though.

Wonderful food, in particular the pancakes. Lovely big coffees and great service with friendly staff. As a european never planning to visit the US its nice to have experienced the american style diner. I visit here regularly when in Chiang Mai.

I'd been meaning to go here for years.
Finally made it yesterday.

All I wanted was eggs scrambled, toast and jam.
I wasn't disappointed.
It was delicious.

Eggs tasted creamy and fluffy.
Toast was home made, thickly sliced, toasted perfectly and moreish.
Especially with a slather of butter.
After all, butter is better. 😉
But the absolute winner was the home made strawberry and rhubarb jam.
What a cracker of a combination.

I was greeted warmly by the staff and felt very comfortable dining solo.
Thanks for having me. 😊

I'm looking forward to returning to try more of the menu.
Especially the extensive range of pies, cakes, tortes and brownies.
But definitely more of the fabulous bread and jam.

Hands down one of the best places for breakfast in Chiang Mai, on the more expensive side of what you can find but the quality makes it well worth it, pancakes are awesome and so are all of their different types of eggs. Highly recommended
