Barako Cafe is a wonderful place to work, relax, eat, connect! While in Dharmashala I came almost every day, as I was living down the street. The bread is phenomenal along with the chocolate cake(truly out of this world)! I loved the atmosphere of this cafe, very relaxed.

Came as a big group (8) and caused some chaos since it’s a small spot but they handled gracefully. Incredible bread and other tasty cafe food. Far enough from the main road to enjoy some peace with a beautiful view.

Barako bakes the best fresh sourdough bread in the Dharamshala area. The cafe is also super cute, with great coffee, brunch food and scones. The staff are also very sweet. Highly recommended.
