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.

At Art Cafe, we believe in wholesome preparation of a meal where the true beauty lies in preparing food from scratch using fresh and local ingredients. Our aim is to avoid the use of packaged ingredients thereby making the food suitable even for kids and adults alike.

Good food should be simple and fresh. That’s why we bake our own bread and make our sauces from scratch. No preservatives—just honest, wholesome food made with care.

Laphing is a dish from our local small bites section. It is a cold jellylike street style dish of Kalimpong streets served with soy and chilly oil.

At our café’s fresh bakes counter, we make simple, delicious treats with love.

Our vanilla cake is soft, moist, and layered with smooth, creamy frosting—just the right amount of sweetness. It’s a classic favorite for any occasion.

Next to it, our Basque cheesecake has a rich, creamy center and a caramelized golden-brown top. It’s a little rustic, a little indulgent, and absolutely delicious.

Freshly made, always with care!
