Illiterati Books & Coffee opened on April 1st 2012 in Dharmshala. We love our beautiful view of the Dhauladhar mountains and enjoy sitting beside out wood-fire stove during monsoon rains or wintertime. We used to sell books but we don’t anymore. Luckily, our entire collection is available for everyone to browse through and read in the cafe. Our book selection features works on Shaivism, Hindusim, Shakta, Zen, Tibetan Bhuddhism, Tantra, as well as Western philosophy, history, economics, development, conflict, natural health, Islam, Christianity, magic and esotericism. We also have Western and Eastern classics published by Vintage, Oxford, and Pinguin Classics. To continue your travels, consult our Lonely Planets, Rough Guides, and other travel guidebooks. We stock many large-format art and photography books, specifically about India. We also have a contemporary art and photography books documenting live all over India such as pilgrimage, landscapes, rituals, festivals, animals, cityscapes etc. We also have and assortment of musical instruments such as guitar, flute and keyboard piano, for the musically inclined to use while they are here. Our dishes are prepared fresh from scratch using seasonal ingredients and may not be available all the time. Our kitchen is a small unit so naturally catering to groups bigger than 6 people can be complicated. Best to call us before you visit us. Cuisines Cafe. Approx cost for two people Rs 800.

Great Ambiance. Amazing valley view from the balcony seats. Amazing food. Grandma's pancake is really good. The royal burger patty was delicious but the bun was a little dry. Best hot chocolate I've had in days. Staff is really friendly tho gets a bit unorganised at times.

Awesome view. You can just sit looking at the mountains at sip your tea. Ginger lemon honey tea is great! Table waiting could be improved otherwise everything is perfect. Worth visiting.

It is a great place to sit and eat and read or work on your laptop. The food is great as is the coffee. The owners are very helpful and you should follow their recommendations for the best dish that day. Vast amount of books are available for you to read.
