Located next to the river, Kaja Throm Café is more than a place to eat—it's a reflection of Thimphu's evolving community spirit. Set within the vibrant Kaja Throm market, this cheerful café is thoughtfully run by Bhutan's De-Suung youth, who bring both heart and hospitality to every plate they serve.
The space feels lively but never overwhelming. Families stroll along the pebbled river path, children play near the dinosaur-themed park, and artists sketch quietly beneath shaded seating areas. It's the kind of place where city energy softens and people come together—over food, over conversation, over shared belonging.
Inside the café, expect wholesome comfort: fresh salads, noodle bowls, local snacks, and warm beverages, all served with genuine care and attention. The staff—trained not just in service but in purpose—bring a quiet pride to their work, and it shows in the details.
Surrounding the café, the market bustles with produce from nearby valleys, handmade goods, and spontaneous moments of music or laughter. Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch, a riverside stroll, or simply a warm sip, Kaja Throm Café makes you feel part of something rooted and real.
