"Best coffee and superb food. Though I haven't explored more cafes but this one definitely would stand at top most in Bhutan. Irish coffee was upto the mark. Walnut tart, I gobbled three of them. I'm sure rest of them will be as delicious.
The cafe has candid and kids centric ambience. Racks filled with children books, books on bhutanese folk tales. They also have small playground in front.
Worth the visit"
