BaanChivitMai
About
We bake bread, cakes and food in a Scandinavian/Thai way. Our bakery is located near the central bus station in the middle of Chiang Rai. Here you will find breads and cakes baked the Scandinavian way. The bakery is frequented by both locals and foreign visitors. Today, there is also the opportunity to eat delicious Thai and western food in a warm and peaceful environment. In the late 1990s we began baking cinnamon buns to sell on the main road. This turned out to be a pretty good business idea. Dreams of a caf located in the city began to take shape. In 2001 two of our oldest girls were given the opportunity to be trained as pastry chefs at Peder Printer Patisserie School in Varberg, Sweden. In 2002 we found a location in the heart of ChiangRai where we began offering Swedish coffee. By 2005 the business had expanded to include food service. BaanChivitMai Bakery has a permanent staff of cooks, bakers and servers. During weekends and school breaks, the older children at BCM have the opportunity to work there where they receive on-the-job training as well as the ability to earn some pocket money. BCM Bakery also serves as a vital source of information about BaanChivitMai Foundation. Customers who visit the caf can read about and look at pictures of BCM's various activities. All profits from the bakery go back to the Foundation to save children from vulnerable situations and give them a better future. The cafs offerings of cinnamon buns, marzipan pastries, chocolate balls and cakes in the Scandinavian style have become quite popular in Chiang Rai. More recently BCM Bakery has begun offering some very tasty Thai food while continuing to serve more traditional items like Swedish meatballs with lingonberries and other western dishes.Details

Dropped in for a iced latte and whilst the place looked nice and also made me feel welcome, the iced latte had a very burnt taste? And it tasted off! Not very pleasant at all sadly
Coffee, air conditioning, newspapers, baked goods are delicious. Well laid out, and I think it supports children with HIV.
Always good coffee and smoothies, some great cakes and snacks too. In a great position opposite the new bus station. Good service and all profits go to a good cause
We came here for breakfast & had 2 coffees & 2 large croissants which came to 190 baht – v reasonable! Would particularly recommend the cheese croissant.
Good food at a reasonable price that supports a good cause. Located across from the bus station and night bazaar, it’s a comfortable place to relax and have a meal or grab some food to go.
Magical place, very cozy atmosphere and and friendly staff – good service. I had the cheese and ham omelette – deliciousness on a plate with an amazing warm freshly baked croissant. Will definitely be back!
This place serves amazing food, drinks and snacks for any time of the day. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Highly recommended!! Also love how all the profits go to disadvantages children.
