A peaceful haven nestled right across the serene Naukuchiatal lake! We spent hours here, soaking in the view and enjoying the calming vibes. The food was absolutely delightful — we tried the Mushroom Crepe, Classic Farm Fresh Pizza, Pasta, Kimchi, Banoffee Pie and a perfect Cappuccino. Every dish was flavorful and freshly made. The ambiance is warm and inviting with both indoor and outdoor seating options — ideal whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee or planning to unwind for hours. Highly recommend this hidden gem if you’re in the area. Great food, friendly staff, and a view that soothes the soul.

Happy Owls Lakeside Café is a lovely spot near Naukuchiatal Lake. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, with beautiful views of the lake nearby. I tried their pizza, cold coffee, and a lemon-mint cooler – all were fresh, well-prepared, and enjoyable. The café also has a small bookstand, which adds to its relaxed charm. It’s a great place to sit back, enjoy good food, and spend some quiet time. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

A very delightful experience awaits those who visit Happy Owls cafe. It is run by a very friendly and multi talented couple, Aunshree and Nitesh. We had the pleasure of interacting with them during our visit and it was indeed inspiring to hear their story and their ventures. The pasta we had was delicious and authentic. They strive to serve the most authentic cuisine and the ambience is very European. Anushree is there to help and guide you with almost anything with a lovely smile. Would definitely be dropping by more often at this cafe in future visits to Naukuchiatal.
