    Ambience of this cafe is awesome. Cafe is architecturally well designed from wooden tables, lights, bookshelves, kitchen and so much more. They serve all kinds of coffee, breakfast, bakery items and fast foods; momo, etc. They have their own Coffee beans. They are good. I recommend trying out veg. cheese sandwich. It is one of the best I would say. Haven't tried other food items, so cannot say much about their food. Price is similar to that of Himalayan Java. Rating this cafe 5/5 based on ambience, architecture and coffee.

    I've been visiting this cafe since 2019 and it has consistently maintained its high standards. It's great to see that the quality of the food and the ambience have remained top-notch over the years. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall positive experience. I can't recommend this cafe enough for anyone looking for a great meal in a peaceful and inviting environment.

    What a spot near the monkey template! We desperately needed a break from all the crowds and the noise - and what a peaceful and pleasant place this is! Super cozy and relaxing atmosphere! Shady and has a nice terrace on a quiet street... Ahh! The veggie burgers and cakes are syper tasty and the coffe is a perfect companion for all the fresh cakes available! The prices are extremely reasonable - would love to come back for sure!

    Found this hidden gem while looking for a cafe to sit down with friends. This place is ki da hidden from usual road. You will have to navigate through a small alley around kimdol but not that hard as this is very close to swoyambhu. The ambience is very good. Peaceful, vibrant, and feels good. The interior and lighting and all the book selves are just amazing. Sitting arrangement is also praisalble. Staff and hospitality is also nice. Price is average $$ for current time regarding the cafe like this in kathmandu. We can get vegetarian menu only. On contrary the food is just average. We orders some drinks, spaghetti and dessert the cheese cake was below my expectations. Iced mocca was too sweet in taste. The mushroom spaghetti and egg fried rice were just ok but not that good in term of taste. Recommended if you are trying to get some peaceful cafe around swoyambhu area

    Came here after visiting Swayambunath Temple. Got a grape smoothie and then a Fried Paneer sandwhich, and both were really good! I definitely recommend the smoothie: very cooling in the hot weather Ambience is awesome in the cafe - lots of books and very comfortable seating arrangements for groups as well as individuals. Service was very friendly and helpful. Would come again!

    Very nice ambiance, quiet and you can see very nice view of stupa. Perfect place for vegetarians and those who wants to do charity can come here and eat. Because whatever you eat, some part of your money goes to charity. I’ve been coming here for more than a year. Love them.

    Visited this hidden cafe during Christmas ☃️ and I just felt in love with this cafe. 10/10 for ambiance, their service were great too, brownies and cheesecake were one of my favorites. They serves only vegetarian foods and they'll specially prepare a vegan food if you ask for one. Night view was just awesome.

    Took a short break here on my way to Buddha park. Coffee was okay and the interior is quite nice. Only thing I kinda have to mention is that the restroom could use some work. It wasn’t dirty but it looked more like a under construction space with a clean toilet. The toilet door didn’t have a doorknob.

    great place for a break hidden somewhere near swyambhu. great ambiance, vibrant and peaceful place. the food is below average, but u can definitely enjoy coffees and desserts. the prices are not cheap something that you'd expect from a cafe in Kathmandu. the people are friendly and the services are quick. Dont forget to try out their brownies...loved it.

    Great place nearby monkey temple, situated in a residential area/ nice vegetation cuisine with a selection of Vegan and non vegan cakes/ can do a few dishes no onion no garlic I had the halumi burger, unfortunately it was too salty, the halumi really needs to be soaked in milk and I suggest cutting it in smaller thinner slices it really cover the flavours of the roasted vegetables- apart from that all was good! Service VERY good, very friendly:)

  • 4/5 Raisha S. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambience is excellent. Loved the designs and the concept. Lots of books to read. The staffs were friendly. Now about the food, we ordered burgers, sandwiches and spaghetti and some coffees. The drinks were fab; cute cutlery and utensils and the spaghetti was good BUT omg the burger and sandwiches! What is that? No taste at all. A big NO to burger and sandwiches. Would love to visit again for a good cup of coffee with a book.

    “BIA Cafe near Swayambhunath Stupa is a hidden gem! The serene atmosphere, akin to a library, paired with friendly staff and reasonable prices, make it a standout choice. The emphasis on organic bins reflects a commitment to quality, and their coffee is undoubtedly among the best in town. A peaceful haven for coffee enthusiasts, BIA Cafe is an all-around delightful experience.”

Their commitment to quality is evident in the emphasis on organic bins, and the coffee is undeniably one of the best in town. A hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful retreat with exceptional brews. Highly recommended!”

    Great place. Incredibly good quality food, amazing service and nice and welcoming atmosphere. And on top of that, most of the money the Café makes goes to people in need, which means you can indulge yourself and help others.

    A peaceful cafe with good books and ambiance. A hidden gem. Perfect for a jogging stop after running around shyambhu.

    Modern cafe with modern prices :) but worth it, i would never say a halloumi burger is a thing and then i tried one here… coffee is also excelent. You can chill with books around, comfortable and good vibes.
