Summit Cafe

With authentic espresso coffee and smoothies, free wi-fi and melt-in-your-mouth cheesecakes, plus salads, paninis, pizza and American-style breakfast waffles and pancakes, this coffeehouse is mocha-flavoured nirvana. It’s in the courtyard of the Shangbala Hotel, a stone’s throw from the Jokhang. There are other, less appealing branches around town.
