Dorje Bakery Cafe
An old bakery in Kyanjin Gompa village at 3,870 meters. Trekkers love its chocolate cake and fresh coffee, and it was rebuilt after the earthquake.
Located at the head of the Langtang Valley in Kyanjin Gompa village (about 3,870 meters), it is the first thing trekkers see on entering the village. The owner, Lhakpa Tamang, named the café after his late father. It first opened in 2006, and he and two friends are said to have spent seven days carrying an oven up from Syabrubesi on their backs. It was rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake and avalanche, and the café screens a documentary about the Langtang earthquake. The chocolate cake, apple tart, cinnamon roll and 'Dorje coffee' are the most praised. The café also makes sandwiches, pizza and shakshuka, and you can pre-order lunch to take on a hike up Kyanjin Ri or Tserko Ri. On TripAdvisor, it ranks first for desserts in Langtang National Park.
