A comfortable cafe and restaurant in central Thimphu with a Western-leaning menu: sandwiches, salads, pasta, cakes, and good espresso coffee. Popular with expats, NGO workers, and tourists who want a break from exclusively Bhutanese or Indian food. The baking is reliable and the coffee is significantly better than the instant versions served at most Bhutanese establishments. A good place to work on a laptop for an afternoon or to meet other travellers. Prices are reasonable by tourist-area standards.
