About Chikusa cafe

Chikusa cafe is one of the most well-known old-school coffee houses in the Thamel area of Kathmandu, popular for its freshly brewed cloth-filtered coffee, simple breakfast menu, and nostalgic atmosphere. Established in the late 1990s, the café has built a strong reputation among both locals and travelers for its relaxed, unpretentious setting and consistently good coffee. The café typically serves coffee, milk tea, toast, sandwiches, pancakes, waffles, eggs, and other light breakfast items at affordable prices. Many visitors appreciate its cozy seating, retro ambiance, and traditional coffee preparation style, which gives the drinks a distinctive flavor compared to machine-brewed coffee.
