We went to check out Cafe Kaldi today since everyone's been talking about it. I was extremely impressed - this might just be the best cafe in the city! My cappuccino was picture perfect and tasted just right and J's chocolate covered waffles (we finished it before I remembered to take a picture) was just how waffles should be - crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was excellent and I understood a little later why there were an army of people with laptops - their wifi (which is free but you have to get the password which changes daily from the establishment) connection is excellent. From speedtest.net I saw that their download speeds were 1.0Mb/s and their upload speeds at 0.4Mb/s weren't shabby either - I have yet to find a cafe in ktm offer such fast speeds, let alone be free. Most impressive for me, however, was the decor which from the pictures you can see are very tastefully done - if you forget you're in the middle of noisy Thamel you could be at a cafe in Tokyo or Bangkok. Cafe Kaldi hits all the right spots - the only downside is that it's in Thamel which I try to avoid as much as possible.
This might just be the perfect spot to meet up with friends or spend a lazy Sunday afternoon sipping coffee and writing on a journal or catching up on your facebooking. Spend an hour here and you might just forget that you're in the land of bandhs and power and water shortages - it's gems like these that in small but important ways make living in Kathmandu a little more bearable and even fun.
