Why everyone keeps coming back.

Skugga Estate - One Nimman Branch offers a truly delightful culinary experience in the heart of Chiang Mai’s vibrant Nimmanahaeminda Road. This family-friendly restaurant is an inviting haven for chocolate lovers and those seeking expertly crafted beverages paired with wholesome, comforting dishes. Known especially for their rich, velvety hot chocolates—both their intense 100% and smooth 78% variants—Skugga creates a warm sensory embrace that lingers long after your last sip. Their Tiramisu, layered with delicate espresso-soaked ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone, offers an elegant hint of indulgence that keeps regulars coming back day after day.

Nestled in a lively area near One Nimman Square, the restaurant balances a casual, welcoming atmosphere with distinctive style and charm. The bright, cozy interiors invite you to relax and savor each bite and sip, while friendly staff enhance your experience with attentive service that feels both genuine and personalized. Whether you’re drawn in by their signature “Wake Me Up Baby” hot chocolate or the hearty Ribeye Steak Sandwich, each dish is thoughtfully prepared to satisfy and surprise.

Visitors often appreciate not just the food but the connection to Skugga’s wider story—from their chocolate farm in Mae On to the approachable urban refuge of this One Nimman location. The ambience here encourages lingering, sipping coffee or lemon honey Americano, and soaking up the local creative energy that pulses through the neighborhood. While some have noted the premium pricing reflecting its popularity with tourists, the quality shines through in every cup and plate.

Skugga Estate’s commitment to artisanal chocolate and quality ingredients elevates it beyond a typical café or family spot. It becomes a destination for those who want to explore fine flavors in a relaxed yet sophisticated setting. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Chiang Mai, the blend of expertly brewed coffee, decadent desserts, and savory sandwiches makes this branch a memorable stop that feels both indulgent and authentically rooted in Thai chocolate craftsmanship.

The best 100% hot and 78% iced chocolate ever. Tiramisu is also great. I come here almost everydays. Staffs are friendly and place is nice.

I’ve been to the Skugga farm, which is great, as well as their old location at The Phae Gate, and this location at One Nimman certainly fits their style.

This is a fantastic place! I've been here more than five or six times during my stay in Chiang Mai because it's a great location near One Nimman Square and an excellent spot to enjoy the market and relax. Their Americano, cappuccino, lemon soda, other sodas, and lemon honey Americano are all delicious. Most importantly, the service has always been outstanding. Thank you!

We visited during the daytime on weekdays, so there weren't many customers. It was so hot whether there was no air conditioner indoors. Coffee and drinks are very expensive because it is a place where many tourists come. Even though I said I was full, there was an employee who kept explaining the dessert menu, so it was a little uncomfortable.

Ribeye Steak Sandwich and the hot chocolate (Wake Me Up Baby) are my favorites—highly recommended. Today I visited the Skugga Nimman One branch, which is in a very convenient location. If you have time, I also suggest visiting their chocolate factory, Skugga Farm, in Mae On. The atmosphere there is beautiful and gives you a much better sense of what Skugga is all about.

5 stars from us, but let's contextualize it. Late morning drinks and it was great . Try the cacao based concoctions and you won't be disappointed. Great for a slow and peaceful start to the day. Lovely crew and friendly folks, light background music, warm decor and ambience.

You won’t believe there’s a craft‑chocolate heaven hiding right here in Chiang Mai! They grow their own cacao in Chiang Mai and turn it into mind-blowing chocolate. The staff friendly, polite, and eager to walk you through every item. They let you sample every single chocolate bar while telling the story behind each one, and that’s exactly how I ended up gladly parting with my money for such top‑notch treats. This stop was hands‑down the highlight of my Chiang Mai trip. Do yourself a favor: put this place on your must‑visit list. You’ll thank me later!
