If you're searching for a unique and cozy spot to enjoy your coffee, beer, or a light meal in Chiang Mai, look no further than Life. Coffee bar & beer. Located on Soi Mu Ban Thana Wan, this charming cafe combines artisan coffee with thoughtfully curated craft beers, making it an ideal destination for both day and night visitors.

The venue's design is striking and visually appealing, with diverse photo corners that invite you to capture memorable moments. However, it’s worth noting that some patrons have commented on the lingering odor from the oil paint used in the decor, as the space is still quite new. Eataholic pointed out the need for better service energy, suggesting that the staff could enhance the overall experience. But worry not—there's a buzz of potential in this cafe perfect for leisurely afternoons.

The menu offers a decent selection for those looking to indulge in a delightful coffee or a refreshing beer. With options for light meals, it's a great stop for a quick bite, as mentioned by Ashok “AN” Nair. While some reviews indicate inconsistency in customer service and ambiance, others praise the excellent coffee presentation and strong WiFi—making it a good choice for remote workers or digital nomads, as highlighted by Damian Mee.

However, there are aspects this cafe could improve upon. Judy Travels with Food noted some disrepair in furniture and a need for clearer service processes, which suggests that while the concept is appealing, a bit more care in execution could elevate the experience significantly. Despite its shortcomings, many find that the relaxed atmosphere and modern vibes make it an excellent place to unwind after a bustling day in Chiang Mai.

In conclusion, Life. Coffee bar & beer is stepping into its identity with moments of brilliance. It’s an inviting venue worth exploring, especially at night when the ambiance transforms into something truly vibrant. If you're keen to enjoy coffee, craft beer, or a light meal in a design-forward space, this cafe deserves a visit.

Nice design cafe more photo corners but inside is bad smell from oil painting because it’s very new. The staff is less energy of service mind and the drink is too sweet.

This used to be a great place for a few drinks and a variety of different meats on a stick. It has changed hands recently, the tables are in disrepair, and the chairs are 80% broken. There is no table service, which is fine, but nobody will tell you this. There should be a process where you choose your meat on a stick selection, be given a tally of your choices, so there is no confusion when you go to pay. This seems logical to me, yet twice since the new people have taken over, my bill has been almost doubled. It is a real shame, as the right people managing this place could really make it work. EDIT: Since writing this review, the tables have been replaced, the area is a whole lot nicer.

Good food with affordable price. Chilling music and atmosphere. A little cold outside during winter but ok. (About 18-19 celsius)
