Our Story

Paddock to plate, cooked right in front of you.

CinderMint opened in November 2021 around one idea: an open kitchen where every dish is made from scratch, paddock to plate, so you can watch it happen instead of just waiting for it. It's a soft, pastel space where the coffee is genuinely good and the banana bread comes out of the oven warm.

"We want you to feel at home when you're away from home" is the whole philosophy here. It's also a little more than a café: a quiet working space when you need it, and a corner shop stocked by local makers. Whatever you arrive for, you leave feeling looked after.

  • Open-kitchen dining you can watch, start to finish
  • Fresh-baked pastries, cakes & the famous banana bread
  • Real Neapolitan pizza, specialty tea & boba alongside the coffee

Hands down the best coffee in Lakeside, and the banana bread is worth the trip on its own. The staff were so attentive and the whole place is spotless. We'll be back every morning.

Such a beautiful pastel space — genuinely one of the most Instagrammable cafés in Pokhara. We ordered the CM platter and the cheesecake and both were fantastic. Lovely, friendly team.

My go-to spot to work and unwind. Great coffee, the lemon meringue tart is incredible, and the staff make you feel like family. Clean, calm and the food is consistently delicious.
