Are you a coffee enthusiast looking for a place to explore your taste buds? Looking for a place to hangout with your friends and family and craving stillness amidst storm? Welcome to a perfect escape from the mundane, where the rich aroma of homegrown Arabica coffee meets warmth, comfort and authenticity.

Namo Coffee: Where Purity Meets Authenticity

Born out of passion and purpose, Namo Coffee was founded by four young dreamers from Nepal during one of the most uncertain times in modern history. When the COVID-19 pandemic began to affect half the world in 2019, these friends chose to respond not with fear but with a bold idea. Though they came from diverse academic backgrounds – Anthropology, Hotel Management, Marketing and Engineering, they shared a common concern: the disheartened youth of Nepal giving up on their homeland, chasing dreams abroad. They asked themselves, “Why can’t Nepali coffee be the pride of every Nepali household?”

With no fancy investors and plenty of skepticism, the journey was anything but easy. But their goal wasn’t just to exist in the coffee market, it was to build a movement centered on pure and authentic Nepali coffee. They weren’t there to merely stay, they were there to build. They were there to build a legacy of purity and authenticity. Combining academic insight with grassroots experience, they partnered with the real heroes; local farmers in the hills of Nepal. Together, they curated coffee that is locally grown, handpicked, and roasted, offering a true “Farm to Cup” experience. This is how the name NAMO – Nepal’s Authentic, Mild, and Organic coffee was formed.

Namo Ko Le Café Nation

From humble beginnings to a community favorite, following the success of Namo Coffee, the founders expanded their vision. With the support of friends, they introduced Namo Ko Le Café Nation – lovingly called Café Nation by locals. What began as a simple tea and coffee spot for the college students has grown into a vibrant local café serving delicious food and specialty drinks nestled in a heartwarming town just 5.4km east of Gwarko Ringroad, Lubhu. Their pride? The hand-brewed coffee made from their very own Namo Coffee Beans.

The waffles and pancakes of the NAMO is another most sought delight at Café Nation. They offer a delightful variety of waffle – vanilla, chocolate, banana, and strawberry – each bursting with its own unique flavor. The chocolate waffles, filled with rich, chocolatey goodness, are a true indulgence. The strawberry waffles, a favorite among the kids, feature a perfect balance of tangy and sweet strawberry goodness, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup. For those who love a natural sweetness, the banana waffles are a great choice, while the vanilla waffles provide a classic, comforting flavor. Their pancakes, available in the same varieties, are soft, chewy and melt in the mouth. Custom-made waffles and pancakes without eggs are available upon request for those with dietary preferences. And to top it all off, they offer takeaway coffee, perfect for enjoying on the go.

Whether you are chasing the aroma of authentic Arabica or simply seeking a peaceful corner to recharge, Namo Coffee and Namo Ko Le Café Nation welcomes you with warmth, flavor and purpose in every cup.
