1. Bricks Cafe, Kupondole

Super perfect Cup 

Taste: It welcomes you with a rich layer of crema with a mild aroma even at outdoor terrace sitting. When I had a sip and hold on to my palate it gives me a medium body experience. Overall a super perfect cup of coffee with perfect espresso extraction, balance, and zero acidity.

Hats off to the barista for perfect extraction!

Ambience: A well-designed bungalow with a big garden space is converted into a nature-friendly cafe. A good place to hang out with friends for good coffee and food. You can both enjoy indoor, outdoor, and terrace sitting with an ample amount of greenery. 

A place to sit back and enjoy coffee.

3. Napukhu Cafe, Bhaktapur

Double Trouble 

Taste: Freshly packed roasted beans welcome you with a thick layer of crema. At first sip, it gives me a strong kick and, when I hold on to my palate it gives me a medium-body coffee experience with a bit of acidity. Overall an average coffee.

Ambience: A cafe built-in tiny ethnic Newari house with primitive authentic architecture is perfectly located at the bank of a large pond called "Napukhu". This pond is one of the busiest destinations for youngsters and couples from around the vicinity adjacent to Bhaktapur Durbar square. Looking outside the cafe gives you a calm and beautiful view of the large pond.

A perfect place to enjoy coffee with a heritage view.

4. Moksh, Jhamsikhel

A perfect garden to enjoy your coffee.

Taste: A super-rich layer of crema on the top of coffee makes my morning delightful. When I had the first sip it gives me a sense of freshly roasted strong coffee. Holding on to my palate it was a medium body experience and balanced taste of acidity and bitterness. No sense of sourness inside my neck after I finished my coffee. Overall, an average cup of coffee.

 

Ambience: An ample space with a well-managed garden has always been the attraction of the Moksh restaurant. It is one of the good ambient restaurants within the Jhamsikhel area. One of the good locations within the vicinity where you can enjoy your coffee any time of the day.
