Came here with my family once for a dinner and the food was memorable. Recently had an appetite for brunches and came here and ordered the Smashed Avocado with poached egg. Food is fantastic. Drinks are priced as per the Kathmandu inflated standard. What I like is the service - one of the workers saw I had a headache and offered me medicine. Staff are very well mannered and ask how the meal was.

Visited today for breakfast... Free Parking is available at underground parking of square hotel, don't forget to get the free parking stamp at reception of the cafe. It's really nice that the girl at the counter asked whether I parked at basement or not. We were offered seating upstairs too.... The interior of the cafe is really good . There were window seats too but unfortunately can't have a back rest of you sit at the window. .. To my surprise the menu was quite elaborate and nice.. The waiter served us bottled water (chargeable) and explained all our queries regarding the food. All four of us had different breakfast meals.... The Americano coffee was served with an espresso shot with hot water seperatly with two nice pieces of biscuits...we ordered masala tea which was really good and thick. Our breakfast arrived around 10 min after ordering which was delicious...The bacon was like hard fried as I forgot to tell them how I like my bacon. Otherwise really nice food, ambience and service. Worth a visit.
