If you are new to Hetauda, or just new to us, here is everything you need to know before your first visit to The Central Drip.

Where we are

We are at Hupra Chaur, Hetauda, right outside our sister restaurant Bhungro Thakali. There is parking on site, so you can drive or ride in without hunting for a spot.

When we are open

Every day, 7am to 8pm. No reservations: just walk in.

What to order first

Our americano is the cup most people order. If you want something you cannot get anywhere else in town, try the cold brew, slow-dripped for 12 to 24 hours. Coffee lovers should ask for a pour over and pick one of our four beans.

Not a coffee person? We pour five speciality teas with Nepal Tea Collective, plus lassi, milkshakes, refreshers and iced matcha.

The room

Free Wi-Fi, laptops and books welcome, a shelf of books to read while you are here, and a smoke-free room. You can scan and pay online.

See the full menu with prices on our Menu page, or order online through our delivery partner, Ghar Dailoo.
