Cafe Illiterati is a snug, cosy, warm, friendly, inviting, and cheerful European-style cafe. With a sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked cake, bright incandescent lighting, light music in the background, and to go with the name – walls lined with row upon rows of bookshelves occupied by, well, books of all sorts, this place is heaven for the tired traveller who likes his coffee and loves his books. And so we were.
While all its walls are covered with bookshelves, the one facing the entrance to the cafe has huge French windows leading out to a balcony. These windows are the gateway to the splendid views of the mountain range in the distance, which were covered with snow at the time of our visit. The balcony is spacious, has a few chairs set out for the view, and offers a good locale for the photographers to set out their tripod cams.
But the main action is indoors.
Frequented by stylish young folks from around the globe and monks alike, the place has a relaxed feel to it. While the ambience and the aroma give it a very cafe-y feel, the presence and sight of the book-laden walls lend to it an air of, well, literati. Being a coffee-and-book-lover myself, this was a pitstop straight from heaven before taking the bus back home.
And so, that cold December evening, we took in the views of the snow-covered Himalayas from the balcony as much as we soaked in the cosy warmth indoors. We placed our orders, snatched up a book each and took our places. And waited in anticipation for that of which the sweet aromatic precursor wafted through the air. I don’t remember much, however, apart from that piece of decadent chocolate cake. Melt-in-your-mouth soft and spongy, this scrumptious treat stood at a mere 100 bucks. If Illiterati was the find of our trip, this chocolate cake was the Kohinoor of the discovery.

Loved this place, they have an amazing collection of books and offers great food, and the place is quiet too!
Amazing little cafe and a co-working space! Very stylish and modern! We have been traveling in India for 4 months and it’s the first time we see such a nice place, reminded us of cafes back in Europe. We loved everything - the view, the food and the ambience! You meet lovely people there. We went there 3 times so much we loved it. There are lots of books there, great music and overall very nice experience! We Highly recommend it to everyone!
Good food, good music, nice selection of books and some board games as well, courteous staff (ask for Kritika), they have nice desserts and coffee too.
If your looking for a place to rest, eat, feel at home amidst the company of friendly people and chill whilst looking at the Himalayas; this is just the place to be :)
Very nice view of Dhauladhar range from the balcony seats.good music in the background. They also have books to read. They accept card payments.
Such a cute little cafe with spectacular view and some awesome food. Apart from the sceneic view it offers one of a kind experience especially if you are a reader. Do stop by when you visit McLeodganj.
Liked their Veg Pizza, Pancakes and Hot chocolate.
Ordered Bruschetta as well but wasn't as per expectation.It was just toast topped with chopped tomatoes which should be avoided straight away.
Pasta wasn't available citing the weather don't jnow why.
Overall a good experience.
