Korean-inspired desserts in Chiang Mai: Cheevit Cheeva Cafe

Cheevit Cheeva Cafe is a dessert restaurant specializing in Korean bingsu with a local tweak. They have several locations; I visited the flagship shop in Nimman.

The visit

The cafe occupies a house in a backstreet in Nimman area.

In March 2020, they brought in a sister property: the bakery and cafe called Groon that now occupies half of the space.

The main dining room has high ceiling.

This was my favorite spot. You have to order at the cashier and pay, then they will bring you the order.

Their claim to fame is the bingsu that comes with Korean and Thai toppings (such as mango and sticky rice). Their bingsu is not made out of shaved ice; rather they use pure milk.

I did not have the bingsu (too big), but they had some “affogato” made with the same shaved milk. I had the chocolate version. The shaved milk was refreshing and a very interesting take on the bingsu.

On another visit I had their Nutella cake, that was quite good.

They had a selection of flavored coffee cold brews. I tried one and I was happy with the drink.

The check

The affogato (really a mini bingsu) was reasonably priced at 95 THB (around 3 USD).

The cake was only marginally more expensive: drink and cake cost me 210 THB (6.50 USD). Prices were reasonable.
