Pro Tips

  1. 1.Visit mid-morning or mid-afternoon to avoid local meal rushes and have more garden space for kids to explore safely
  2. 2.Ask for child-friendly snacks like samosas or momos (dumplings), which are typically mild and familiar enough for most kids to enjoy
  3. 3.Bring hand sanitizer and wet wipes, as outdoor garden seating may have limited handwashing facilities
  4. 4.Request a table near the garden entrance so you can easily supervise active children while still enjoying your tea
  5. 5.Have small Nepali rupee notes ready, as card payment may not be available at smaller cafes like this

Best Time to Visit

Visit during late morning (10-11am) or mid-afternoon (3-4pm) on weekdays when it's quieter. The spring months (March to May) offer the most pleasant weather for enjoying the garden seating, with comfortable temperatures and clear skies.

What to Know

This is a budget-friendly spot with very affordable prices (expect to spend around $1-3 USD per person). Garden seating is casual and outdoor, so dress kids in play clothes and be prepared for uneven surfaces.

Seasonal Notes

Best visited during dry season (October to May) when garden seating is most comfortable. Monsoon season (June to September) may mean limited outdoor seating due to rain, though the cafe likely remains open with indoor options.
