1. Hideout Eatery 

A light Cup

 

Taste: A good cup of coffee with thin crema and aroma was quite intoxicating with a bourbon smell. When you take a sip and hold on to your tongue it’s a low-body coffee without any acidic experience inside your inner neck. Overall an average cup of light coffee.

Ambiance: Built beside the car wash station on the way back from Budhanilakantha to Maharajgung road. The cafe design is quite exciting and cool. Ample space for indoor and outdoor sitting is available for the customers who queue up at their car wash.  

 

Enjoy the car wash process with a cup of coffee.

2. Himalayan Arabica Beans 

Fresh Coffee 

Taste: A freshly roasted and brewed coffee always welcomes you with a rich crema. Taking the first sip gave me a strong and well-balanced sour taste. Usually, some expert coffee baristas would blend light and dark roast to give their customer a signature taste of different flavor notes. While I hold on to my palate, it has got a thick body and overall when I finished the coffee, no acidity was left at the end.

Ambiance: A small coffee shop with warm vibes, located in the busy tourist hub of Thamel. It has got cozy indoor sitting and a few tables outside in the well-managed private area. 

 

Enjoy good coffee with good books

(It might be one of the best and most affordable coffee shops in the area. I would recommend it to coffee lovers who spend good money on their coffee. 

 

3. PD Coffee Lab 

Long Black! 

Taste: The aroma was quite intoxicating, and I can even smell it in the open sitting area too. With the thin layer of crema at the top, it was a low-body with a fully acidic coffee experience. Mostly in the coffee shops, you will not find a coffee shop that serves light roast or medium-medium roasted coffee beans. If you are a true coffee lover or connoisseur, you can visit here for your choice of coffee. 

Ambiance: Designed with a black and white theme, it has indoor and outdoor settings. The green plants and elements make the coffee shop fresh and vibrant. It is one of the coffee shops in the Lalitpur area which serves varieties of good coffee on its menu.
