Lovely café with a nice selection of Nepali, Pan-Asian and Western dishes. Update: Came back a second time just for a matcha latte as I was short on time and the waiter (different person from the first time I came) was mocking me for only ordering a drink. Very different vibe from the courteous service the first time.

Look no further - this is easily the best cafe & restaurant in Patan. Their coffee is rich, smooth and brewed to perfection. The food is equally impressive - fresh and flavourful with a great variety offering classic breakfasts and pan-Asian lunches & dinners. The staff are incredibly warm, welcoming and accommodating so they make every visit feel special. Their genuine hospitality and attention to detail creates a comforting and homey vibe that you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re a local or a traveller, Drip Inn is the place to be

Although this cafe is newly established, the food, staff and atmosphere is impressive. I like the mellow music, seatings and distant murmurs. The menu is well thought through. It contains serving hours and most importantly the ingredients. The serving sizes were just perfect! For a foodie, you will definitely enjoy this place. I recommend all the food in the pictures attached and their breakfast as well. Would love to try out more of their menu items!

The food was absolutely delicious! Thai and Nepalese dishes were full of flavour and the portions were really filling. We also enjoyed the coffee, as it was surprisingly good quality. This restaurant has a pleasant interior and the servers do everything to make you feel welcomed and taken care of. The only negative aspect was the quite dirty bathroom.
