👍 Great place for local coffee & breakfast. Recommend soft-boil egg with Patonggo (donut stick). Pan egg is also good. The bread that serving together is so crispy. Hot tea is free for self-service.

    Good & economic breakfast for all. Have a breakfast here, lookinhg at morning passed by!! One of it's kind in Chiang Rai. More or lease become a land mark now. The owner started the breakfast business with yellow truck originally. The shop name in Thai mean "Chiang Rai yellow coffee truck". Yellow truck had been serving both local and tourist with simple & cheap Thai and western breakfast, traditional Thai coffee or fresh coffee grow from local mountains. Is quite popular for local pass by, tour from Suknirand Hotel. Owner play guitar and sing folk songs to entertain client some times and provide local travel info too. He does spoke good English. At time of writing owner had decided to upgrade the age old worn down yellow truck to a green recon VW van. This place is easy to find. Right in the town center near clock tower on the side of Suknirand Hotel. Latest up date 12 Jan 2017. The owner had switch his VW van back to referbuidhed original trade mark yellow truck. Popular as ever. 2018 more local folk having breakfast on the way to work. Menu been updated with new Thai breakfast. From sometime 2018, relocated to new location today near clock tower at​ the​ ​junction​ of​ Jetyot​ road​ due to renovation of Suknirand hotel. 2019 mid March a​ new shop (pink color wall building) is​ open across the street from present location. 2022 shop across the street had been closed. More table are setup at the old location.

    This place faces the clock tower. Good view and great for people watching. Breakfast is value for money. Only $70 baht for a full breakfast set. The owner is very friendly too. They close at 10.30am so be there before that.

    Breakfast set for 70 baht. Includes Thai coffee, orange juice and a heart attack for Elvis Presley. But I love it. No one does breakfast like Yellow Car Coffee. You can't miss them. Right next to The Clock Tower in bright yellow and long horn in front. Got an extra set of toast for 10 baht because it's THAT good.

    Worth it. Don’t let the name throw you off, the other two reviews are right. It was great to sit and have breakfast facing the clock tower. Food is decent and everyone seems to get the omelet, but don’t let that fool you (it is good) but the congee is also delicious! We ended up getting extra dough sticks too, for 2 Baht, why not. Totally delicious breaky with drinks costs us 115 for two.

    Exclusive location for a good tasting and affordable local breakfast. Be there before 9:00 and go for the fried dough sticks.

    A popular food truck at the clock tower. Its iconic yellow truck and red and white table cloth are recognised by locals. This street food truck offers a variety of breakfast (e.g. congee, chinese donut, pan fried egg and coffee). There are many tables available but it could be crowded. Food tastes good and the price is reasonable. Recommended.

    Such a nice experience with good food! Definitely recommend (: Coffee isn’t the best but the food is delicious!

  • 4/5 Wayndering 1 year ago on Google
    Clearly a local institution, you’ll find these card tables set up in front of the clock tower by the unmistakeable yellow truck,its hood adorned with a pair of water buffalo horns. The breakfasts and coffee are cheap and cheerful, but to write home about taste-wise. Here it’s all about the ambience. Get the soft-boiled egg and fried donuts with a sweet local coffee and watch the world go by and the town’s slugabeds roll in.

    Simple breakfast for 40baht. Taste was pretty normal, nothing fancy. Very close to clock towel and the owner speaks English which is a plus point. Menu available in English 👍🏻

    Looks like the yellow truck has transformed to a shop now. Food and beverage were okay, not fantastic but I guess people visited due to popularity. Free Jasmine Tea provided. Employees were able to speak fair amount of English, easy to order the food.

  • 4/5 Dean S. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice place, only seems to be open in the mornings. Plenty of seating in the shade. Next to the clock tower so a good idea to be on the hour when the clock chimes. Prices are cheap. I paid 25 Baht for an iced coffee with milk. I'd already had the free breakfast at my hotel so no point eating here for me.

    The traditional coffee is good. Other foods are just so so. Staff service is fast & polite. Atmosphere here is hot, crowded & noisy. This stall is famous in Chiang Rai city.

    Hot cook breakfast + famous landmark view Best for chill morning. Rabbit approved !

  • 5/5 Bryce C. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent breakfast joint in Chiang Rai, right near the clock tower. The menu is pretty sparse, but the food is delicious. Well, the Western style breakfast leaves something to be desired, but the congee is fantastic. They make a mean cup of coffee as well.
