Nice cosy ambience and good food. Must try -: lemon drizzle cake
A fullish satisfying Friday morning brunch .. dropping down from bus n waiting for the hotel check in , decided upon this only after illiterati was found to b closed ..
A tiny place serving minimal of items ,made me fell in love with it .. situated on jogiwara road , just next to "posh hotel" , having a few tables both in d outside by the road n inside ...
Serves the famous spinach omellete , though pricey @200 but what separates it apart is d exclusivity n fluffy nature of it , with green mashed spinach on the inside served with 4 slices of bread ... How u wish , the bread could have been toasted in butter !!!!
Do savour Ur buds with the tea pot which serves 2.5 cups of brewing tea , perfect for the coldie environment outside ...served with a tiny steel sieve n separate sugar ..
Do try the "carrot halwa" , though was a day old. . but still felt so heavenly especially vwitg a creamy layer on the top ...
No e-wallets accepted though I could see a paytm tag !!!!..
Well the food was okay and the menu was having various breakfast options
Cute little place with best service. Our go-to place for breakfast.
Lovely French style omelette! Soft, creamy and soufflé-like :) must try if you are around! Staff is friendly and ready to help..we had a great time there
If you are a coffee and bakery lover, this place is a must. Had a large cafe latte and it was delicious. The music was lit and the audience was good.
Stopped by this place on Jogiwara Road since we were a bit tired and needed a break. I had a macchiato,which was very well brewed indeed. They have an outdoor as well as indoor section, a lot of books, and free WiFi. What more can you want?
Go there for their coffee alone.
The first place we landed up in, on a pleasant, slightly shivery morning in McLeodgunj.
Straight down to brass tacks, every single thing we tried here (and we tried almost everything I believe) was orgasmic.
The reason I went back here, time and again, was the chamomile tea and the carrot cake, both of which are on the list of why I plan on going back to McLeodgunj as soon as I can, again.
The pancakes, waffles, chocolate croissant, chocolate cake, and the omelettes are worth mentioning and trying out. When you are there, just order anything from the menu that catches your fancy. There won't be regrets.
The people there are marvelous as well.
I'm going back. As soon as I can.
PS: Sorry for not having more pictures. We inhaled all the food before we realized we should have gotten pictures.
Very nice roadside cafe. Had the best omlette and coffee on a rainy afternoon. Although it took some time after ordering to get the food (due to electricity outage, maybe), but it was definitely worth the wait.
Ordered Omlette Nicoise and carrot cheese cake. Fell in love with the food preparation.
One of the best cafes I have visited during my 6 days holiday.
Ambience, food, staff all are excellent.
Highly recommended.
All items are tasty
Cafe Budan a place for cake lovers.
Less sweet cakes can really make your day. Accompanied with your favourite Coffee..

Don't miss it
Cafe is located few steps down the road from the post office, and was amongst my first stops when visiting mcleodganj.
They have numerous options in coffee which are a must try. However they don’t have masala or regular Indian tea.
I had spinach and cheese omelette, but that was low on salt for my taste.
It is such a lovely place to just sit and spend time, to engage with other travellers as well as soak in the weather of mcleodganj.
Good place to spend some time....named after the saint budan who has founded coffee in india it provides a wide range of tea and coffee,the best part ia to get this thing in cheap with no compromise on things .....staff is nice and their sandwich too as they surve sandwich with sprouts...
Very happy with the service. Tried the meusli with curd, fruits and honey. Well done.
The sandwich was decent.
Very helpful owner with great food and coffee.
Large meal sizes for prices and great atmosphere.
Great place with many breakfast options and cakes 🤤
We visited Cafe Budan in evening to have coffee and carrot cake.
Both of them were outstanding and would not forget them ever.
We also also had ginger honey tea which was also great.
The place is small and has a sense of warmth and love.
It doesn't have view but you can sit here with someone you want to spend time and relax for a while.
Must visit place in Mcloedganj.
Outstanding place! The Cafe food and drinks are amazing! Great atmosphere as well. Loved their music and if you want to learn some facts about India read their "100 things to know before you vote".
I came here many times during my stay and the service was always outstanding. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. They have a nice selection of food, drinks and cakes, you can relax here and enjoy good wifi!
Nice and quiet, convenient location, good coffee, good cakes
MUST GO.
Absolutely amazing place, been here twice. Can sit outside or inside, it's the perfect Mcleodganj cafe. Amazing coffee, hot or cold, I had the chicken open Sandwhich which had a mango chutney. I was sceptical, but it was amazing. Very personalized service, the owner and servers are very nice people and it feels great.
Fantastic little hole in the wall cafe with an excellent selection of cakes. Now they offer omelette selections and a variety of pancake/crepe both savoury and sweet.
Don't mind the honking of the cars as it adds to the reminder that, 'Hey! you're in India don't forget ' which is great to know you can get this quality establishment in India!
With the one of the best coffees in McLeod and Dharamshala it's a place to visit everytime you want to get your coffee and food fix.
