Why we recommend it
Kohhee is a casual all-day café on Sahakar Marg in the Bais Godam part of Jaipur, close to C-Scheme. It has become one of the city's talked-about meeting places among locals, and Outlook Traveller included it in a round-up of the restaurants Jaipur was most excited about. It is the kind of place people come for a long brunch with friends, a laptop session or a quick coffee between errands.
The menu is international café food with a strong vegetarian slant. Highlights include a guacamole bagel, cheese chilli toast, a pan-grilled cottage cheese and pesto burger, a chickpea and mozzarella wrap, a peri peri cottage cheese pizza and mushroom risotto. Smoothie bowls offer a lighter option, and gluten-free dishes are available, which is helpful for travellers with dietary needs who may find choices limited elsewhere. Portions and flavours lean towards familiar international comfort food rather than Indian dishes, which makes it an easy option for a first morning in the city when you are still adjusting to the local cuisine.
Coffee is the other draw. As well as standard espresso drinks, the café serves flavoured specials such as a pistachio latte and a Thai-style coconut coffee. For dessert, Outlook Traveller's writer rated the blueberry cheesecake among the best in the city, so it is worth saving room or ordering a slice to share.
Prices are moderate, with Outlook Traveller putting a meal for two at around a thousand rupees, which makes Kohhee good value compared with hotel cafés. It suits younger travellers, families looking for familiar food for children, and anyone who has had their fill of rich curries and wants something lighter. Weekend brunch is likely to be the busiest time, so a weekday visit is calmer. Check the café's social media for current opening hours before you go.
Bais Godam is a short ride from MI Road, and C-Scheme with its other cafés, including Curious Life Coffee Roasters and Alchemist Coffee Company, is close by. An afternoon coffee crawl across these cafés is a good way to see the modern, everyday side of Jaipur that sits alongside its forts and palaces. Auto-rickshaws and app-based taxis make it easy to move between them.
