When people think of Solan, they often imagine quick pitstops on the way to Shimla or a brief visit to the Mall Road. But for those who’ve spent a little more time wandering the bylanes and backroads of this charming town, Solan offers peaceful surprises — like The Coffee Lodge Café.
I stumbled upon this quaint spot on a lazy afternoon, trying to escape the routine and find a place that offered more than just caffeine — a corner to pause, think, and breathe. Nestled quietly away from the tourist clutter, The Coffee Lodge isn’t loud or flashy. It’s simple, warm, and inviting — exactly what a true café should be.
What Makes It Special?
From the outside, it might not scream “Instagram-worthy,” but once you step in, the ambiance immediately slows you down. Soft music, wooden interiors, cozy seating — it feels like a space meant for unhurried moments. Whether you’re working on your laptop, reading a book, or just enjoying a solo date with your thoughts, this café lets you be.
Their classic cold coffee, masala fries, and veg grilled sandwiches are my go-to picks. Everything is made fresh, and the service is friendly without being intrusive. The best part? It’s rarely crowded. You can spend hours here and not feel rushed — something that’s getting harder to find in today’s fast-paced café culture.
Why I Recommend It
If you’re someone who values atmosphere just as much as the food or drink, The Coffee Lodge Café will not disappoint. It’s one of those rare places that still believes a café is more than a menu — it’s an experience. A feeling.
So, the next time you’re in Solan, skip the usual and follow the quiet lane to The Coffee Lodge. It might just become your favorite hideout, too.
