Our Story

Art Café started in 2015, aiming to promote art and culture through food, music, clothing, and more in the quaint town of Kalimpong.

FOUNDERS

Art Cafe was founded in 2015 by Yachna Rizal and Pravesh Chhetri, driven by their shared passion for food, culture, and art. Their travels have deeply influenced the cafe, with each experience serving as inspiration for the atmosphere and flavors reflected in everything offered at Art Cafe.

OUR FAMILY

The team at Art Café is the heart and soul of everything we do. Their dedication, whether in the smallest tasks or the biggest efforts, is what truly shapes the atmosphere and spirit of our café. Each person's contribution makes it the special place. We are fortunate to have gathered a team full of heart, dedicated to caring for the Kalimpong community. Some of our team members have been with us for 9 years, and although we come from diverse backgrounds, we all feel at home together at Art Cafe.

The Local Brekkie is a nice way to enjoy some local flavors. It includes Phalay or whole wheat Balep, along with boiled eggs and chicken for some protein. There's also a little Churpi salad on the side, which adds a fresh touch to the plate. It's a simple, hearty meal that feels really comforting.
