3.5 star
Looking for my caffeine fix while driving along Yonge Street....
I drove by Himalayan Java and I go BINGO! Looks like a Cafe.. and it is open.. and I never heard of that... maybe a FTR?
Himalayan Java just opened for business 3 days ago!! I could not even find any listing on google or anywhere....Though there is a corporate website and apparently it is a franchise from Nepal....
The mission statement of Himalayan Java is to "promote the fledgling Nepalese coffee industry by investing in people from producer to consumer, and to promote local grown coffee in the international niche market."
The set up is pretty cozy with different sitting options: communal tables, armchairs or individual tables...
Extremely friendly baristas... My Caffe Latte ($3.50) is decent... latte art is so so but I was staring at him while he doing his pull... :P
If you want to have some sweets. they carries pastries and baked goods from Rahier Patisserie, which made awesome cakes!
Free WIFI.... open from 8 AM to 8 PM...
There are also Nepali products on sale: mediation CDs, incense and handicrafts...
I'll be back!
Pheri bhetaunla!
