Utpala Café was started by Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling Monastery under the leadership of Buddhist teacher Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche. 
• Before it was a public café, it began as a canteen for students of Rangjung Yeshe Institute — a Buddhist philosophy-teaching institute run by the monastery. They opened the canteen because many foreign and Nepali students lacked access to consistent, hygienic vegetarian meals. 
• That transition from a private canteen to a public café occurred out of the students’ need for healthy, clean food and out of desire to offer vegetarian meals accessible at reasonable cost.

✨ Philosophy, Vibe & Purpose
• Utpala Cafe is strictly vegetarian (and often described as vegan-friendly), following the monastery’s Buddhist values. 
• Their mission goes beyond serving food: they aim to offer a peaceful, calm space where people can eat, relax, socialize or reflect — a kind of “sanctuary café.” 
• The ambience is designed to be tranquil and natural: wooden furniture, garden or terrace seating, trees and stones, a monastery-like feel. Some visitors even describe it as reminiscent of a spiritual retreat rather than a typical café.
