Starting with the food, would say was ok. The cola mojito simple and refreshing where as the brownie was rich and delicious. However, the croissant was a disappointment tasting a bit stale. The ambience, small yet warm & cozy. The prices affordable.

The setting of the place felt so warm and welcoming. I ordered frappucino. It looked attractive but it was a little bit sweet to my taste. They also have internet service.

I had a banana smoothie and a Momo noodle combo. The smoothie was creamy and delicious. The Momos and noodles came out hot and fresh. The space has a great open, cozy, trendy atmosphere. I'd come again :)

Nice place to have coffee in front of US Embassy. You can enjoy coffee with your work too… Ambiance is good with welcoming vibes…. If you have appointment in US embassy, you can visit and enjoy your time with sip of coffee. I ordered Cappuccino, that was perfect.

Café Tara in Maharajgunj is a delightful spot with a warm ambiance, perfect for coffee lovers and dessert enthusiasts. Their brownie with ice cream was rich and indulgent, while the caramel latte had the perfect balance of sweetness and espresso. The cozy setup, friendly service, and reasonable pricing make it a great place to unwind...

A proper coffee shop with warm and cosy environment. A little expensive but reasonable considering the location they are located in. Just opposite to the US embassy so a convenient stop if you are waiting for your interview. There's a clothing shop alongside the cafe. Good internet connection. Availability of books, magazines,etc. Overall a good experience.
