Snowman Cafe

Very special cafe serving delicious cakes, tea and coffee in quirky, smoky and possibly rebellious environment! Their apple crumble is divine. Loved the alternative atmosphere!

Definitely among the top bakery / pastry shop in town. While it is among the oldest cafe in Kathmandu, it still has its charm. The glavours unique and extremely delicious and the prices would say quite cheap per slide even today. A must visit indeed.

I LOVED it here! Very chill atmosphere, tasty cake, and good tea. I had coffee cake (100rupee) and hot tea (30rupee), the price is amazing too. I also love the cigarette scent (used to smoke and now quit) so this place being smoker friendly is a plus for me too.

The only good thing about this place is the ambience it’s cool Other than that customer service is basically zero. Hygiene is poor. Food, tea, cake… all super mid nothing special at all. Not tasty, not fresh, just average or below. The old guy with the white beard (owner or salesperson not sure) was straight-up rude. Zero customer dealing skills. I asked for WiFi and he told me “there’s no WiFi in Snowman Cafe” no idea if that’s true or just an excuse. Honestly felt like he might only be nice to foreign customers and doesn’t care about Nepali customers

first went in almost 20 years back. The vibe still remains the same. The Chocolate Cake is delicious. The Brownie is good. Reasonable Pricing.

I tried their cheesecake and tea. Cheesecake was very different from traditional baked cheesecake. It did not have a crust on the bottom. The tea was okay.

If you’re a smoker you’ll love this place. 4 star for a non-smoker. Chocolate love (100) really moist and good!!! Cheese cake (150) a little bit too sweet for me but I still enjoyed it - would be good with black tea Lassi (70) They only have auto coffee machine here so I get the lassi instead I truly enjoyed the vibes here and the owner is very friendly Window seat is perfect!

The only reason to visit this cafe was to locate the beginning of the Hippie Trail I read about in a book. Had a slice of apple pie (decent pie for the price). Honestly I didn’t get the good vibe as mentioned in the book and was disappointed with the smell and unclean interiors. Must have been a hip place in swinging 60s but now even it’s past glory is fading…
