Thamel's breakfast must-have. Every morning, travelers (mostly Westerners) gather here to savor a succulent assortment of toast, eggs in all their forms, cereals, fresh fruit juices or sandwiches, all comfortably installed in the pleasant garden. But Pumpernickel Bakery serves sweet and savoury treats to gourmets at any time of day. A fine selection of teas, espresso coffee and cold drinks. A great place to take an invigorating break in Thamel.
