The cafe is just down the road from our accommodation so decided to check out the coffee. But once inside and saw the food we tried some snacks also. The coffee is probably the best coffee we’ve had for a long time, better than most coffee snobby places in out home town in Australia. The food was perfect, exactly what we felt like, fresh and delicious. The cafe was clean well presented and the staff were wonderful, so helpful and kind. We will be back tomorrow, thank you.

There are places you go to eat, and then there are places that feel like they were whispered into existence by angels who just really understand carbs and caffeine. Bread of Life Café is the latter. Let’s start with the sourdough. Honestly, calling it “bread” feels like an understatement. It’s a crusty, golden hug from the heavens—perfectly tangy, with that chewy, airy magic only the truly gifted can pull off. Whoever is behind that dough is not just a baker—they’re a soul whisperer, turning flour and water into something that warms you from the inside out. If angels wore aprons, I imagine they’d be in that kitchen. And then there’s Natasha—the Barista with the kind of coffee brewing skills that could start a cult following. Every cup she makes feels like it was made just for you. There’s grace in her craft and warmth in her presence. She’s not just part of the café—she is the café. The espresso sings under her touch, the pour-over is poetry. She’s the star that makes this cozy little universe glow. If you haven’t been to Bread of Life yet, go. Your tastebuds and your heart will thank you.

Okay… wow. This coffee? Life-changing. Like, if hope was a drink, this would be it. I tried the lemon pie, carrot cake, chocolate brownie, and alfrazo… were they amazing? Not exactly. But you know what? The coffee made me forget. 5 stars. Because sometimes, it’s about the one thing done perfectly.

I discovered Bread Of Life on my way from Manali to Naggar. I was there around 4 pm and stopped to have coffee and as soon as I entered, I fell in love with the place. The whole place smelled of fresh coffee, chocolate and other delicacies. In the next 3 weeks, I went to Bread of Life at least 6 times. The owner and the staff is really amazing, humble and polite. The pastries and pies are delicious and the coffee and shakes will fill your soul with love and warmth. If you're going to Bread of Life, make sure you go there before 6pm because it closes around that time. And make sure to try their lemon pie

Juan Bhaya, Maria Didi and Sammy have always been warm, anytime I visit the café they are always there. The southern American cuisine is fantastic. Do definitely come here and try the food out. Unlike the other cafés, the staff here are always welcoming and are like a family !

Visited this place while I was on a school trip and it was a delight. Wanted to take some pie for back home, but was getting late and couldn't get it. But you'll love the place, it's a must visit if you're nearby, and carrot cake is must try.

My favourite place for cheesecakes in Manali. Probably the best. Juan and Maria are lovely! They are so welcoming and sweet. Always a pleasure to visit them when around
