Customer Reviews
Renee Cutaia
Went for a coffee after a full day of sightseeing. A nice little cafe with a big menu. We tried 2 different lattes and both were good. The ice cream Sunday was also good…a bit bigger than expected. They have a nice selection of pastries but we didn’t try them. Most people were eating food, all looked good but we didn’t have any food so can’t say. I would definitely come back for a small meal & coffee. It’s right off the main road, small doorway but a nice space upstairs. Free wifi work password, 3hr limit.
Hui Chin Chong
Nice ambiance for a relaxing afternoon break after the Tzechu festival! The cat, Kali will welcome you when you step into the cafe.
They roast the coffee bean themselves, and several selections for filter coffee.
After coffee, we ordered the ice cream as well. The cone biscuit could be fresher though.
Nikhil Agarwala
Excellent service. Elaborate service, warm and courteous staff. The food and the drink is mind-blowing. Has a lot of vegan options as well. Heaven for vegetarians in Thimphu.
Must visit in Thimphu !!!
This place & the food puts a smile on your face 🙂
Meghana S
Best cafe in Thimpu and we get gluten-free and a good number of vegetarian options. The staff is very courteous and the food taste was very nice. We ordered pasta, Bhutanese veggie noodle soup, and iced mocha. The portion size is decent and filling. The price is also reasonable. The ambience is amazing and they will provide WiFi also. We had an amazing time there.
