Dr Espresso — Restaurant in Pokhara

Really hard to rate this place. 3 stars seems fair.

It’s nice and cozy and the food is pretty good. But they charge an extra 13% on the bill for VAT. That’s fine and all except it’s on a hand written bill and you know they aren’t actually paying taxes. They don’t charge any service charge though. So that’s good.

Main reason for the 3 stars is it takes sooooooooo long to get your food.

Cash only place though. No cards :(

Stopped over here for a quick look and to buy some bakery items. Quite impressed with the atmosphere and laid back environment here. Just east of the centre of Lakeside in the more quiet part of town. They have a nice selection of drinks and the baked goods are quite good. They warm up the items as well which make it even more delicious. Professional customer service. If you are looking for a nice cafe/coffee shop to hang out or grab a quick drink, this is the...
