👍👍 Been here so many times now that I can’t keep count, they run documentaries on Mondays and Fridays on many topics surrounding Tibet (definitely a recommendation for people who want to know more and share their thoughts with the café’s community). I did the Lhakar as well which they do on Wednesdays,... People often mention great, cafe, good, visit, vibe, coffee, Tibetan,

    Been here so many times now that I can’t keep count, they run documentaries on Mondays and Fridays on many topics surrounding Tibet (definitely a recommendation for people who want to know more and share their thoughts with the café’s community). I did the Lhakar as well which they do on Wednesdays, learnt so much about the culture and had some delicious momos as well. If you are in McLeodganj, walk-in, there are literally so many stories that the walls will speak to you too :)

    This cafe is very peaceful and serves some good delicious food. Ideal for breakfast and brunch. If you want to taste authentic tibbatian food do pay them a visit. And also absorb the feel and vibe and energy of tibbatian heritage and culture

    Really a calm and peaceful hidden gem in the Dharamshala area. This coffee and tea cafe serves great drinks and good food. The vegan matcha late is super balanced and super healthy. The cafe features pictures and stories of Tibetan people and positive messaging. The team is super kind and full of loving energy. They have a warm and calm vibe and are very inviting. The space is super clean and full of amazing aromas. Come support this local shop 💜

    Hope cafe has a very special vibe, each corner of this space is designed so thoughtfully. Got a feeling like Korean Drama or a Japanese Anime film. Limited menu options but definitely worth the try !!

    Super cute cafe and restaurant. They have a great selection of drinks. We ordered espresso and iced latte. It was nice the espresso came traditional style, with a glass of water. They also serve Korean dishes, which is a welcome variety after so much Tibetan and Indian food. We had kimchi fried rice and bimbimbap. Both were tasty and would order again.

    Immersed in the delightful ambience and upbeat atmosphere at the Hope Cafe. I couldn’t help but soak in the positive energy and happy vibes. The Chicken Bibimbap and Veg Kimbap were absolute delights, and ending the meal with a heavenly bite of their cake is simply a must. Trust me, you’ll love every moment!

    Beautiful place. Loved the vibes. Went there specially for dessert and it was so worth it. Had the freshly baked carrot cake. And a cafe with books can never go wrong :) You can also buy mementos here and support the Tibetan refugees. This cafe is a part of Refugee project. So must visit !

    An incredible place! The owners are really sweet and always up for a great conversation. The caramel latte is possibly the best one I've ever had. Omlette was really good too. Hoping to go again soon.

    Der Personal war leider überfordert. Wir haben Matcha Cappuccino bestellt, aber normalen bekommen. Dann gab's nicht genug Reis für 2 Bibimbaps, aber keiner hat uns das gesagt. Wir mussten sie aktiv ansprechen, was aus dem Essen geworden ist. Dann gab's Ramen aus der Tüte 😔 sehr schade. Der Kaffee und der Matcha waren sehr lecker, der Bibimbap auch, Sternenabzug wegen Ramen.

    Very cozy place for a coffee or light meals. Amazing ambience with all the positive vibes. Prices little high as compared to the nearby restaurants.

    We love this place and regularly visit! It’s a must for good food and friendly service. If you visit on a Wednesday make sure you sign up for Hakka, where you dress up as a Tibetan and learn more about their culture. They have documentaries every week, which are so insightful and educational!

    We had a wonderful time at Hope Cafe. We firstly booked their Lhakar Day which was a great experience. Came back after that every day for food or the movie on Friday. The staff is wonderful and this little almost hidden cafe made our time in McLeodganj more special. Thanks for everything 🙏 Dennis&Misha PS: They make the best coffee in McLeodganj :)

    If you do ANYTHING at all in Dharamshala/McLeod Ganj, please do their Wednesday Tibetan tours. Insightful, eye-opening, fantastic value for money and going to a good cause. As aside, also a great cafe.

  • 5/5 Naomi D. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite place in Dharamshala. A really relaxed space to read. They have a library filled with some great reads you can borrow. They also have talks on most days to learn about Tibet and the struggles of Tibetans. 10/10
