Creperie
Crepe Pancake Hut is a charming family-friendly cafe in the hill town of McLeodganj, offering an array of breakfast options and delectable dessert choices. The cozy interior features wooden artwork, framed wall paintings, and a collection of books for visitors to enjoy. With low tables, floor cushions, and a relaxed lounge-like ambiance, it exudes chic vibes perfect for lazy days.
Beautiful heartwarming cozy cafe with an owner who advocates for a vegan diet. You'll need to get here by cab or walking. The nearest paid public car park is a bit far. It's a small cafe with 3 to 4 tables in a room, located on first floor with no lifts. Accessibility could be challenging for some. You'll love the spirit of the place if you care about the establishment being pro-vegan though they carry vegetarian food as well. The owner is a lovely lady who cares about her causes. The place is stacked with a mini library that reflects her values. The menu is fairly limited to crepes, waffles, sandwiches, and other finger foods but you could still enjoy a meal here if you'd like that. The food itself was excellent. The thick banana Nutella pancake was heavenly. The vegan choco chip cookies blew my mind as they were made sugar free. I couldn't understand how it tasted so well if it had no sugar. The avacado sandwich and waffle tasted great too. My wife who is vegan loved the food and wished coming back on a Wednesday when the cafe offers only vegan dishes. Very thoughtful way to promote veganism. The food was well priced, expensive for Mcleodganj standards but definitely worth it if you care about supporting great vegan food!

Go for the breakfast here. Have some freshly made crepe pancakes along with a beverage of your choice and you will thank your stars! Take in the breathtaking view while the aroma of pancakes and crepes waft in the air.

When I think back to my time in McLeodganj, this café stands out as one of the most memorable parts. The cozy atmosphere, the healthy food prepared with care, and the wonderful people I met here made it feel like home. This is the perfect place to read a book and drink tea while watching the mountains outside. Yangzom cares for the guests and makes the place special. I hope to visit again someday.

A very good restaurant! The restaurant has a cosy atmosphere. The best advantage and a reason, we chose to visit is the fact, that you have gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options to choose from. If possible, they will let you switch ingredients of a meal based on your special needs. They serve nice big portions, we ordered gluten-free burrito whith avocado and full of boiled and also fresh veggies. The portion was bigger than expected, we almost had problems to finish it :). We were afraid to eat fresh vegs in India because of water contamination, but here they state in the menu that they treat the vegetables with sterilised water, which is very important. We had no problem after eating their vegs. Keep in mind that they don't serve every option from the menu every day, as it is a small restaurant, but you will always have options to choose from even if you have special needs. As a dessert we got a gluten and dairy free pancake with no sugar, just fresh fruit. Very nice experience.

Awesome place to spend some quality time alone or with group. The owner is a very nice and friendly lady. Their menu is awesome and the preparation of food is very authentic and delicious.
Nanz S — Google review
One of our favorite cozy spots in Dharamshala/Mccleod Ganj. Shakshuka, crepes, veg sushi and vegan peanut butter noodles are some of our favorites. Oh and I normally don't like. Kombucha much, but their homemade Mango/mint kombucha is delicious! Must try! (note my husband usually orders extra eggs with shakshuka, the normal portion everywhere is usually 2).
Megan B — Google review
Quaint little cafe with most heartwarming food. The owner has been mindful in advocating enough for sustainability (cloth/ wooden coasters, felt slippers for guests, minimum disposable items) and vegan diet of course! Do yourself a favour and visit over for a breakfast if around mcleodganj.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crepe Pancake I had the best experience here! The crepes and galettes were so delicious — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The staff were super nice and made me feel really welcome. The place has such a cozy vibe, perfect for brunch or a treat with friends. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Definitely coming back soon! 💛

Nestled in McLeodGanj, Jimmys Italian Kitchen is a charming and cozy spot that offers traditional Italian cuisine with a Himalayan twist. The restaurant is renowned for its classic flavors, featuring wood-fired pizzas, creamy pastas, and delectable desserts like tiramisu. With its rustic decor and stunning mountain views, it provides a warm and inviting atmosphere for a delightful dining experience.
Jimmy’s Italian Kitchen is hands down one of the finest places I’ve ever visited for authentic Italian food, especially their pizzas. From the moment you step in, you are welcomed with warm hospitality that instantly makes you feel at ease. The staff is extremely polite, attentive, and always ready with a smile, which truly adds to the overall dining experience. The highlight, without a doubt, is their pizza – freshly baked with the perfect balance of flavors, crispy yet soft base, and rich, high-quality toppings that melt in your mouth. You can clearly taste the effort and passion that goes into every dish they serve. Along with pizza, the rest of the menu also carries a wide variety of Italian dishes that are equally tempting and full of authentic taste. Another thing that makes this place truly special is the breathtaking view from their windows. Sitting there with delicious food while enjoying such a peaceful and scenic view feels like the perfect combination. It adds a sense of relaxation and makes the experience memorable.

One of the most celebrated cafes in Mcleodganj. Good place, dishes are good as well but not as great as the hype. The window offer lovely views and you can enjoy them chugging down some beers. The location is in the market and during the day it’s a struggle to get your car anywhere near the cafe. So, the best approach would be to walk. Don’t get confused with Jimmy’s bakery.
A K — Google review
We had heard from someone that Jimmy is renowned as one of the best restaurants in McLeodganj. But we wrongly went to Jimmy’s Himalayan Kitchen instead. Unfortunately, they were not serving dinner at that time, so one of the waiters kindly directed us to this one which was just a short walk away. This restaurant is located on the first floor, and we navigated a rather narrow staircase to get there. Upon arrival, we noticed several groups enjoying the mattress seating area. We opted for a table and placed our orders, which arrived in a timely manner. The restrooms, located on the second floor, could benefit from some improvements. When I requested a beer, I was informed by the waiter that customers are responsible for serving themselves. While this was unexpected, I chose to overlook it. We sampled a variety of dishes including pizzas, pastas, and juices, all of which were quite satisfying and generously portioned. The option for online payment with a credit card was convenient. The staff maintained a neutral demeanor throughout our visit. Overall, we believe this restaurant holds its ground in the McLeodganj dining scene, and it’s certainly worth considering for a meal.

Visited there after reading many reviews. So expectation was high. We tried veg Peri peri pizza, banoffee pie and cold coffee. Banoffee pie was delicious must try. Pizza was different not good not bad, just ok ok types. Cold coffee was not good at all, totally avoidable.
Abhishek J — Google review
We visited Jimmy’s Italian Kitchen in McLeodganj and ordered the vegan pizza, Arrabbiata pasta, and two virgin mojitos. The food tasted good—well-prepared and flavorful, especially the pasta. The mojitos were refreshing and tasted just like you’d expect at any good dine-in restaurant. Portion sizes were quite generous—definitely enough for three people. We couldn’t finish everything, so the bill of around ₹1100 felt a bit pricey for two, but would’ve made more sense for a group. The place has an old-school charm, though it felt a bit dated, and during our monsoon visit, there was some water dripping from the ceiling which was a downside. Overall, a decent spot for Italian food in McLeodganj—especially if you're dining with friends or family.

Quite an aesthetic ambience with a breathtaking view. Had sicilian chicken and it was really done. The chicken could have been a little softer. Had Tibetan butter tea as well and I loved it.

Went to Jimmy Kitchen after seeing so many reels but honestly, it’s just all hype. The place was stinky the moment we walked in. Felt damp and unclean. Totally put me off. Food was nothing special, very average. Service was fine ..we sat there for so long and no one came to take our order. When they finally did, they gave us a handwritten bill and still charged GST. No proper bill .. that’s just not okay. Vibe was totally missing. Didn’t enjoy anything. Waste of time and money. So many better places around .. not sure why this one is hyped.

The ambience, the food and the people serving it...all were awesome. Pizza seems to be their masterstroke...almost every table had it. We had Peri Peri Pizza and it was one of the best pizzas I had ever had. Cold coffee was amazing and hot chocolate was just the best.... amazing food and a great place to visit if in Mcleodganj. Kudos guys. Their good indeed makes you smile with their food and an amazing view out the window!

Woeser Bakery is a charming and cozy cafe located in the basement of Black Magic restaurant. It offers a variety of sweet treats, espresso, and has options for vegans and those who are gluten-free. The bakery provides a calm environment to enjoy a perfectly brewed cup of cappuccino. Customers can also indulge in chocolate-covered cherries or savor the famous carrot cake while surrounded by friendly chatter.
Lovely little quiet place tucked into the wall. I loved the peace and solitude I felt here.. unlike hustle and bustle of other cafes. Come here for great cups of coffee, awesome desserts and lovely selection of books!

I love this bakery. It was a random selection from the list. You enter here and there is warmth in the environment. We tried coffee, hot chocolate, tart, and cakes, and instantly felt calm from the winter. Carrot cake is a must! Backyard sitting is also open which has a beautiful view of the city. Enjoy!

Woeser Bakery is a wonderful Tibetan small business that is run by the amazing Sangma! This woman owner bakery is a unique treat located in Dharamshala! The bakery has a wide selection of yummy treats including vegan cakes, tarts, walnut cups, custom cakes, tsampa balls, breads, coffees, shakes, and hot and iced teas! (And more!!) Located on the second floor, it is super easy to find! The vibes are full of love and peace. She named the bakery after her daughter. The baked good are super fresh and yummy! Gluten free options are available! The seating inside is very cozy and has a bright and light filled atmosphere. There is also a terrace to sit on that overlooks the mountains and nearby surroundings (beautiful view!!) Coffee is really fresh and perfectly flavored. Please come support this Tibetan small female owned business! Highly recommended, do not miss this one! 🙏

The quaint little cafe tucked away under the Black Magic Restaurant in the mini Tibet Market is perfect for coffee and homemade cakes.

A true hidden gem of McLeod Ganj! Woeser bakery is a must try with an impressive array of scrumptious desserts. It is run by a lovely lady, Sangmo who has at several instances baked for his holiness Dalai Lama. I highly recommend the chocolate tart, the chocolate truffle, the carrot cake, the handmade coffee and the rhododendron tea. The place has a very cozy vibe to it and they also have a decent collection of books to read while you’re there.

The Other Space is a multifaceted establishment in Dharamsala, India that serves as both a cafe and an art gallery. The venue boasts minimalistic interiors with a stunning view of the valley, complemented by the aroma of freshly baked goods and soothing music. It also functions as a co-working space and features exquisite artwork adorning its walls and shelves.
The Other Space in McLeodganj is a cozy gem we couldn’t resist visiting every evening. Their coffee is exceptional—rich and perfectly brewed—paired with the best croissants in town, flaky and delicious. The cakes are equally delightful, and the café’s unique concept adds a special touch. A must-try spot for a warm, relaxing vibe!

A quaint little place on the road to McLeodganj, one might miss it if one isn’t attentive, but once you get in, the place is unforgettable! Looks like an art gallery and a cafeteria in one. The outdoor seating is good for groups of two to three, but there is ample space for a larger group indoors. The food was amazing, well made and served with care, I’d love to visit again the next time I’m here.

Aditi — Google review
We recently visited The Other Space café on Jogiwara Road, around 2 km before McLeodganj, lured in by the glowing reviews online. The place looked promising at first—stylish interiors, a young and vibrant vibe, and what seemed like an appealing food menu. It was a typical monsoon day, so the view (which many rave about) was swallowed by thick fog. That’s nature’s doing, and we don’t fault the café for that. What we do fault them for is something far more intrusive and completely avoidable—smoking being allowed in the seating area. We were seated in a small balcony space, trying to enjoy our meal in the cozy weather. But that mood was utterly wrecked when someone nearby lit up a cigarette. And then another guy lit another one. All the smoke, thanks to the wind, kept blowing straight to our table. There was no restriction, no designated smoking zone, no staff intervention, and not even a sign telling people to be mindful of others. It was as if the place encourages people to puff away in shared dining areas. We came for a peaceful meal, not to inhale someone else’s second-hand smoke along with our food. Speaking of food—it was decent, no complaints there. But honestly, what’s the point of decent food and cute décor when you’re constantly battling toxic smoke in a cramped outdoor spot? It’s shocking that no other reviews mention this. Either people are turning a blind eye or the place is just getting away with it. No matter how aesthetic your walls are, how good your food might taste, or how charming your crowd is—if you can’t guarantee a basic non-smoking dining space, you’ve failed your customers. We rushed through our food just to get out of there. The moment the plates were cleared, we left, disappointed and annoyed, in search of a place that values clean air as much as it values its Instagram aesthetic.

A café with a view and a total vibe check! What a beautifully curated space that brings together food, art, and music so effortlessly. The view from the balcony? Absolutely mesmerizing — the kind that makes you pause and just take it all in. The food is great — the pasta hits the spot, and the coffee is just what you need, whether you're starting your day or winding down. It's the perfect place to sit peacefully with your cup, get some work done, or simply soak in the calm ambience around you. The staff is super friendly, always making you feel at home. And there’s also a little section where you can pick up beautiful pieces made by local artists — such a thoughtful touch. Honestly, what more could you ask from a café? A must-visit if you're around.

A must visit cafe if you want to taste authentic Tibetan cuisine. The cafe is located on first floor just near the Namgyal monastery.

The cafe allows guests to play their own music using Bluetooth speakers and even has a resident pet cat for animal lovers to enjoy.
It was recommended by a friend. Awesome place to be. We had clay oven baked Pizza & Spring Rolls.

Did not have a good experience. The food was bland. We tried a white sauce pasta which we felt was under seasoned. We also ordered a chicken pizza. The chicken in the pizza was so dry that we could not chew it at all. We had to remove the pieces of chicken to make the dish edible. The overall ambience was nice. I have given the experience 3 stars because I have previously been to this place and have had some good experiences.

In the crowded and cramped streets of McLeod Gang, I wanted to try it out because of the reviews I heard from some people. They have two levels of restaurant. One with the usual dinein and the other with the sit down and open window with the mountain view . I tried the mount view level. The place is pretty shabby and not kept so clean. There were lotof flies. I ordered the vegetarian wood fire pizza and it was great. The three only stars for the pizza. Ambience is a 0/0.

When visiting Dharamsala, don't miss out on the authentic flavors of Tibet at Yangkhor Tibet Home Kitchen. This local gem offers a taste of the mountain kingdom with its fresh and flavorful dishes. The restaurant's cozy terrace provides a charming setting to savor traditional Tibetan cuisine at affordable prices.
This is the second place in Mcleodganj we tried Tibet food. No doubt this is one of our favourite place. The chef is friendly and amazing. You will understand his efforts while tasting the food. The soup and texture of the thenthuk was so yum. It was so soothing for that cold weather. I loved their Tibet butter tea as well. The ambience is so cute, calm and relaxing.

We ordered 2 x Thukpa noodle soups. They came out about 10 minutes apart, they were piping hot which is nice, but a little unexciting and bland. The veggies were nice in there but it wasn't something we'd rush back for. Had to go and find someone at the end to pay our bill after waiting a good 10 minutes. It was steady trade in there (mainly monks) but not overly busy.

We just randomly walked around and saw a sign for this place. We decided to try it out and we are very happy we did. It's probably the best food we've had in Mcleodganj. It's a very local place but clean with a very cute terrace. The food is fresh, made on the spot (we waited a bit but we didn't mind). It's also half the price of those more touristy places

We first time tried Chicken thenthuk, chicken Mokthuk and chicken chowmin here they taste pretty good. Depends upon you what type of taste suits you like that I will suggest if you want to try Tibetan food you surely visit this restaurant and it is pocket friendly restaurant.

I visited this place with so much hope but it didn't go well, I ordered veg fried and steam momos and it was normal, honestly not at all tasty and they didn't serve momos chutney instead they gave mustard sauce. But you can give a try to other dishes they provide. I hope next time I'll get to eat delicious momos with the red momos chutney.

Not only did he address our complaints thoughtfully, but he also surprised us with complimentary beers 🍻—such a lovely gesture! The live music 🎶, especially the local songs, was a highlight of the evening. It truly made the atmosphere unforgettable.

Went here for dinner and really enjoyed the overall experience. The ambience is lovely, especially with the live music adding a nice touch. The pizza was fantastic — a 12-inch size for under ₹500 is definitely a great deal. The Aglio Olio pasta, however, was a bit on the dry side. For dessert, I tried the waffle - dry and was not crisp

Absolutely loved Morgan’s Place! The food is fresh, flavorful, and full of options for vegetarians. The wood-fired pizzas and white sauce pasta are a must-try! The ambiance is cozy.

Tucked away in the serene beauty of the hills, this Italian restaurant is pure magic. The cool breeze, mountain views, and warm aroma of wood-fired pizzas make it an unforgettable spot. I tried their handmade pasta and classic Margherita pizza—both were bursting with flavor and freshness. The tiramisu was the cherry on top: light, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. Cozy interiors, friendly staff, and the perfect backdrop for a slow, heartwarming meal. If you’re visiting the Dharamkot, this place is a must-visit for all Italian food lovers!

Average food, Loved the vibe though. Tried a few dishes but the taste could really be worked upon. We ordered Pizza and Garlic Bread. The cheese was overcooked on the garlic bread and instead of a garlic bread loaf normal market bread was used. Also the Pizza looked tempting but the taste was really average.

A friend suggested this place to me and I decided to drop in. It's a woman owned business. All the ladies are sweet and the service is fast. The ambience is a 10/10 especially the fireplace and the lil trinkets around the place. I liked their food. It was decent and surprisingly not as expensive as most of the places in the market are. If you are in McLeod do visit this place.

This was the spot we felt most comfortable in, and read and relaxed for a few hours. Delicious food and tea, a thoughtful and considered menu that finds authentic and common ground with Tibetan, Indian and Chinese cuisines, housed within a beautifully decorated interior with excellent facilities. We felt right at home, and the intentions of the place as “common ground” could be felt. There were excellent meetings and conversation of people of all kinds taking place in this special, hillside spot on the walk down from Dharamkot to Mcleodganj.

Beautiful place, cozy and comfortable. Opportunity to try different food in McLeod, most of the dishes are based in Taiwanese and Chinese cuisine but not traditional. Because of the explanation in the menu I expected to eat a very traditional dishes but wasn’t 100% same in taste. But very good experience and good food.

Common Ground: A Decade of Deliciousness and Warmth 🌟 Common Ground has been my go-to spot for almost ten years now, and it never fails to impress! 🍴 This cozy little gem has become a second home, where every visit feels like a warm embrace. The ambiance is inviting, the food is consistently outstanding, and the owners are some of the most hospitable people you’ll ever meet. 💛 Their menu is a treasure trove of flavors, but my absolute favorite is the spicy Chinese-style pork. 🔥🍖 Perfectly cooked, bursting with bold spices, and utterly satisfying—pair it with their sautéed bok choy 🥬 for a match made in culinary heaven. It’s a dish that keeps me coming back time and time again. The charm of Common Ground lies not just in the food but in its soul. From the thoughtful service to the comforting atmosphere, it’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind and savor the moment. Whether you’re here for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, it’s clear that every dish is made with care and love. 🥢✨ I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional food and a cozy dining experience. If you haven’t tried Common Ground yet, you’re missing out on one of the city’s best-kept secrets. 🏆

Worst experience in Mcleodganj- Stayed in the city for more than 3 days but didn’t witness such a service. We with our friends went to the place and live singing was happening. The Folks servicing asked us to not drink from the alcohol bought from outside the cafe. We agreed and ordered food. While waiting my friend requested if he can also sing as the main singer from the cafe was done and was resting. The folks serving their denied very rudely and didnt even took our order after 15 mins when we checked on status they just cancelled it impromptu. Pathetic place please avoid - better visit - Mcllo, Papa Wisky , Jimmy’s ( Good empathetic staff and good food and ambience)

Perfect Place to Sit, Enjoy Live Music over Weekends and have your delicious BITE of the CAKE and Hot Chocolate! Came here just casually strolling around on the streets of M'Ganj! Really liked the Ambience and Loved the Crockery and Lights! We ordered Hot Chocolate, Carrot Cinnamon Cake, Banana Cake, Double Chocolate Cake! I personally enjoyed everything except Banana Cake, but others liked that as well! Enjoyed our time here with loads of Books and few Games to Play! On Weekdays, the place is bit quiet and not crowdy if one wants to enjoy that atmosphere! On Weekends, place is quite happening with Live Music and Crowd! I recommend trying this place when in M Ganj! Place accepts Cards, UPI and Cash!

Came here for dessert and a coffee after dinner because the reviews were so great. The coffee was pretty good but the brownie cake was dry as could be and barely edible. The carrot cake was inedible, with plastic like icing, hard and dry cake, completely tasteless. Both cakes were obviously microwaved (completely unnecessary) and likely a few days old.. I give three stars because the coffee was still very good and the staff was friendly and did take the uneaten carrot cake off my bill.

One of the worst places in McLeod due to their lack of respect for the local community. They BLAST ear-splitting music every Saturday night (and sometimes other nights too) until 3:30am or so, disturbing the sleep of hundreds (thousands?) of people in the normally quiet and peacefully valley below. Basically they disregard the well-being of everyone within a two-mile radius so they can 'party' all night. I heard that regulations in India stipulate no loud noise/music after 11pm? So how do they get away with it ... greasing the palms of local officials? Probably better not know. Don't support this place until they turn down their music at a reasonable time!

This cafe doesn't even have a cook, plz don't go there, you will waste time only. I went there on a weekend, only a couple of people were sitting there. I sat for 15 mins and no one came to take order or even give water. I went to the counter to ask for order, and the girl sitting there said, we r not serving food, as we don't have cook. I asked for beer, so they only has kingfisher basic. And a wiskey of one brand. That was not it. This place was on 4 floor and the stairs and part of building were under construction.

Dharamkot! I have visited McLeodganj a handful of times, but I was completely unaware of this charming little gem until recently. During our stroll along the vibrant streets of McLeodganj, we encountered some friendly locals who enthusiastically recommended a visit to Dharamkot. When we mentioned that we had our two young kids with us and that a trek up there might be challenging, they kindly suggested an easier route to lower Dharamkot. Determined to explore, we set out on foot, as the distance was advertised as just 1 kilometre. However, we soon discovered that the path was a steep climb, with an incline of about 50-60 degrees that left us catching our breath. Spotting a Maruti Alto heading in the same direction, we seized the opportunity and flagged it down. For a modest fare of ₹200, we were conveniently dropped off at our destination. Our goal was the Moonlight Cafe, a name that had been enthusiastically shared by a friend. Upon arriving, we quickly realised that the cafe's reputation was well-deserved. Perched on the first floor, the setting was incredibly inviting, with a pristine atmosphere that set it apart. The menu offered a delightful variety of Israeli, Italian, and local cuisines, which piqued our interest. Since we had just finished breakfast, we opted for lighter fare—enjoying steaming cups of coffee and fragrant tea. The ambience was lively, with a few other tourists savouring cold beers, adding to the cheerful vibe. The decor was thoughtful and artistic, creating a warm and welcoming environment. There was even a cosy sitting area where guests could enjoy their meals on mats, complete with bolsters, after removing their shoes, which added a unique touch to the experience. We truly relished our time at the Moonlight Cafe, soaking in the tranquil surroundings and friendly atmosphere. Next time, we’ll make it a point to try out some of their acclaimed dishes!

Located in Dharamkot’s Israel Market, the spot is convenient for exploring the area and easy to find. The atmosphere is pleasant—neat, clean, and comfortable—with a tidy washroom, a shelf of books for reading, and casual games like cards for some downtime. Service was on the slower side during the visit, and the food was just okay, especially considering the slightly higher prices compared to nearby places. It’s also worth noting that it isn’t very kid-friendly, and smoking is allowed indoors, which may not suit families. Overall, a handy location with a relaxed vibe and thoughtful touches, but expectations should be set around pacing, pricing, and the indoor smoking policy.

Located in the mid dharamkot mountains , it’s a tiny shack bakery that serves baked goodies like banana chocolate cake, variety of cheese cakes , cookies etc. All day brunch & breakfast has waffles, pancakes , sandwiches and pizza items to choose from. Since it was 5 mins walking distance from my home stay so I mostly came here for my morning coffee or tea & at times breakfast. I enjoyed carrot cake and sourdough slice with jalapeño & olives the most. Overall good but need more training to make pancakes as at times it was overcooked. There are some interesting retail items to sell. One was cigarette butt collector so that you don’t litter it anywhere . Another was cacao mix used as a ceremonial drink before ecstatic dance. Helpful right??

During my month-long stay in Dharamkot, I had the pleasure of frequenting a delightful restaurant called Bird House Cakeray. Situated in the picturesque and serene upper Dharamkot, this restaurant quickly became one of my favorite spots. The location is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views that perfectly complement the peaceful ambiance. However, the real allure of Bird House Cakeray lies in its exceptional food and drinks. As a chai lover, I was thoroughly impressed with their tea, which was brewed to perfection. My partner, a coffee enthusiast, found their coffee equally delightful. Our culinary journey at Bird House Cakeray included a variety of dishes, all of which were superb. The sandwiches were fresh and flavorful, the pancakes were light and fluffy, and the herb and cheese omelet was a savory delight that I particularly enjoyed. Renowned for their cakes, Bird House Cakeray did not disappoint in this department. Their cakes and cookies were simply amazing, showcasing the expertise and passion of their bakers. The staff at Bird House Cakeray deserves special mention. They struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness, making every visit a pleasant experience. Adding to the charm of this place, you'll often find birds and a few dogs lounging around, contributing to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. In conclusion, I highly recommend Bird House Cakeray to anyone visiting Dharamkot. This restaurant have the unique energy of Dharamkot, providing a serene escape with delicious food and drinks. Whether you're there for a quick snack, a full meal, or just to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee while taking in the beautiful surroundings, Bird House Cakeray is the perfect spot. Don't miss the chance to experience this gem in the heart of Dharamkot.

Tucked away in the quiet, colorful and bustling lanes of Bhagsu Nag, this café is the kind of place you stumble upon and never want to leave. With the scent of fresh coffee blending into pine-scented mountain air, and Tibetan prayer flags fluttering outside, the vibe is pure McLeodganj magic. Cozy seating, soul-soothing music, and a menu that surprises you in the best way. This spot is equal parts comfort and creativity. Must try: Their coffee and homemade Bhagsu cake are next-level. Add to that a warm smile from the owner and the amazing staff, and views of the hills. It’s not just food, it’s a feeling. Perfect for solo journaling sessions, long coffee conversations, or just watching the world go by. If you’re in Bhagsu Nag-McLeodganj, skip the mainstream cafés. Come here instead. Let the mountains slow you down and let the coffee wake your soul up.

The coffee is excellent, they always have fresh and delicious avocados and the freshly baked pastries are amazing, at a very high quality. We are grateful for the excellent service we received. We will definitely come back ❤️

Amazing and highly recommended place in Bhagsu. Every meal is served in an abundant and great taste. It’s a great place to work in case someone is looking for a space to bring a laptop. I feel really satisfied with the restaurant and more importantly the kindness and respect received from the staff. It’s a really special place I would like to come back to when I have the opportunity to go back to India.
