Cafe Founder – Yogi Himanshu Joshi

 

The vision of Himalayan Yoga Cafe, founded by Yogi Himanshu Joshi, is to create a welcoming space where individuals can reconnect with their presence through clean, nourishing food and a calm, rejuvenating environment in the heart of Rishikesh. The cafe was created as a sanctuary where wellness, taste, and conscious living naturally come together.

I’m so grateful to this cafe during my stay at another yoga school. On the days I felt exhausted and out of energy, this was the perfect sanctuary. Once I tried the affogato, I couldn’t order anything else. Delicious taste and great presentation. Thank you for everything.

Need to inform the collective: The Himalayan Yoga Cafe is a jewel which can be found just outside Rishikesh. 
It so happened that I was spending almost three weeks there while I was working, and I had been eating and drinking myself through the menu. The mixture between classical Indian Food and fusion with more western style breakfast is welcome by both: Westerners and Locals.

An authentic place with really fresh food. They take time in preparation, you might feel it’s too long but it’s for good. Preparation of the food was top class, very less oil, less salt & hugely awesome presentation including fancy cutlery. Dining hall is very well air conditioned. They also fancy a washroom that looked quite neat though I didn’t use it.
