Exaggeration and hyperbola dont a good coffee place make[good coffee does, though]

This one from TKP. It's mostly dross and full of fawning for the reviewed place, but is enlightening in some cases.

Café Kaldi, which opened last year in Thamel, has become one of the Valley’s most popular cafes today.

A truly international experience, Café Kaldi offers a number of Japanese coffees. Well-equipped with wifi and offering an addictively comfortable atmosphere, the café is a coffee-lover’s paradise.

Lies. It is not any popular than the cafe next door, and its international nature is no different from any other coffee place. Also, calling it a 'coffee-lover's paradise' is a gross overstatement intended to fill the lines.

“Nepali customers don’t not just want to drink coffee, but also eat great food,” says Sushil Thapa Magar, manager of the café, adding” We kept this in mind when planning our menu.”

From what he says, it is clear that although a large variety of international goodies are on the menu, the café aims to attract locals. And while there is no secret that the coffee menu is big, what makes it unique are the original concoctions it offers. Caramel Macchiato and Hot Kakuto Milk are just a few of the many new things to try out here.

Three-quarters of the review is over and no mention of the coffee. Instead, there's a quote by the manager. Hot Kakuto Milk reminds me of some cartoon character, and doesn't ring any bells for me, but Caramel Macchiato does sound interesting. I am not sure if its the exclusive there, because I have had something similar in yet another wonderful place in Thamel.

The food menu is equally extensive. Salads, burgers, momos- take your pic. The desserts- especially the chocolate waffle- is something you cannot afford not to try.

Café Kaldi opens from 7 a.m. till 10 at night and its manager boasts that there are some guests who spend their whole day here surfing the net over hot cups of coffee. Need a place to unwind over some sinfully good coffees; Café Kaldi is your haunt.

D'Oh Freee Internet... Okay, if you want internet in Thamel but don't want to pay the robbers in the cyber cafes there, Cafe Kaldi sounds like a good idea. Chocolate waffle should be good too, and the caramel thing. So 'haunt' this place for the free(?) internet, peps.
