It's a small bakery with very few seating space. Seats maximum of 10 people. They also sell ice cream and few other packaged food items like dry meat, fondant, flavoured syrups etc. A cozy place to drop by if you are visit the area.

It is a cute little cafe done tastefully and offering beautiful views. Besides coffee, cakes and bakes one can tried their selection of gelatos which are one of a kind. The store also keeps lots of locally made food items like meat pickles, hot chips, dry meat, sausages etc.

One of the most cozy cafes in the heart of Sikkim. Take a cab from hospital dara till development area. Or if you can then walk along the Jeewan theeng marg to get there. Grab a book and visit the cafe. Sunset is beautiful from those windows
