A Slice of Heaven by the Ganges – "Kaafe", Rishikesh
Hidden like a gem by the banks of the sacred Ganga, "Kaafe" in Rishikesh is not just a café — it's an experience. From the moment you step in, you're embraced by the serene charm of nature, the soft hum of the river, and the peaceful chime of temple bells nearby. Located right beside the iconic Ghanta Ghar and offering one of the most breathtaking views of the Ganges, this place feels like time has paused to let you breathe in beauty and calm.
I recently visited Kaafe and was completely blown away — not just by the view, but also by the food, hospitality, and vibe. I tried their pasta, and honestly, it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavour — it truly made my taste buds dance with joy. Every bite made me feel like I was indulging in something crafted with genuine love.
But beyond the food, what sets Kaafe apart is its soul. Whether you want to sip on coffee while watching the river flow, work remotely with the calm of the mountains around you, or just spend a peaceful evening watching the sunset melt into the waters — this is the place to be.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rishikesh — solo travellers, couples, spiritual seekers, or just someone in search of a cozy corner with good food and a stunning view.

Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting Kaafe Cafe in Rishikesh, and I can confidently say it’s an experience worth raving about. From the moment we stepped in, what truly stood out was the exceptional staff—their courtesy and kindness were beyond anything we could have expected. Traveling with a small infant can sometimes feel daunting, but the team at Kaafe made it effortlessly delightful. Without us even having to ask, they noticed our little one and immediately accommodated us with a spacious table, giving us plenty of room to settle in comfortably.
Even though the cafe was buzzing with energy and packed to the brim—with a line of people waiting—they never once made us feel rushed. Instead, they checked on us periodically, ensuring we had everything we needed, all with genuine warmth and care. It’s rare to find such attentiveness in a busy setting, and it’s something that left a lasting impression on us. The food and ambiance were lovely, everything we ordered tasted crazy good, but it’s the staff’s thoughtfulness that made this visit truly memorable. Thank you, Kaafe Cafe, for such a wonderful experience—we’ll be...

I have been coming to Rishikesh for nearly 10 years now. Kaafe is my GO-TO SPOT when I need a few hours of quiet-time beside Ganga to sit at my laptop and write or do contemplative work.
The upper-floor, air-conditioned environment provides a nice relaxing space for you to enjoy the serenity of Ganga.
Located just 50m from the world-famous Parmarth Niketan Ganga aarti, Kaafe is an ideal location for you to gather your group before the program. Everyone can catch their breath, fill up on some lovely warm dishes, and take cold refreshments before heading out back into the noise and crowds.
The drinks at Kaafe, are the best in Rishikesh. Hot or cold, you cannot go wrong. I've tried most all the juices, smoothies, and shakes and haven't had a bad one yet.
The coffee machine is the reason I keep coming back. The cappuccino is my favorite hot drink.
I have recommended Kaafe to many overseas friends visiting Rishikesh and for everyone, it becomes an essential part of their day while they are staying in Ram Jhulla, Swargashram,...
