This is a cafe run by a Tibetan band called JJI Exile Brothers. It's quaint and plays good music, from Ray Charles to reggae and even Kazakh music. Max, the cook, serves some great momos, thentuk and pancakes.
They have two friendly dogs as well, and an interesting notice board with post-its by travellers from all over the world in various languages. The place is open until 10pm and you might catch the band playing Tibetan music later on in the evening.
