Kuku Coffee Shop

This is a true hidden gem you won’t regret going to time and time again. Run by two brothers in a quiet corner of the fort with great views, especially at sunset. Something about them and the place makes you feel at home and very relaxed. Great drinks menu from coffees to lassis & great proper home style Indian snacks and light bites to accompany them. Great spot for lunch / light bites / sunset snacks. They’re wonderful and welcoming and great to talk to. Honestly, the best place we went to in Jaisalmer.

Both the coffee shop and Kuku him self were just to fall in love with. The shop is a tiny gem located on the top of the southern most tower of the fort, with an amazing view of Jaisalmer and the desert beyond.

Kuku turns out to be quite knowledgeable and could tell us a lot about the fort and it’s history, local economy, even the quality of the different type of building materials you will find in the fort and Jaisalmer in general.

Watching the sun set from Kuku Coffee Shop may very well be one of the greatest views you will find in all of Jaisalmer.

Kuku Coffee OMG Sunset Experience With A

Brew

Mar 2024

Wow! The view of the city from inside Jaisalmer

Fort is Outstanding. For the Absolute Best experience of this place is at sunset from the terrace of KuKu Coffee. Enjoy An Espresso Drink or my Favorite "Bombiya"Espresso...Great Coffee and The 2 Brothers Interaction with their customers is especially entertaining and informative. I love spending my sunset evenings sitting with my feet on the Wall and Enjoy my Kuku Coffee.

Excellent views of the city and a very peaceful setting, off a side street from the hustle and bustle tourist area of the fort. Delicious coffee and great service. The owner really cares about his coffee craft and getting to know his customers.

This place is truly a gem! The reviews really are truth! The food is extremely good and the coffee is perfection. They cater well to Vegans as well based on their menu. The views also from here are golden! In addition to the food and view, the owners (2 brothers) were extremely hospitable and lovely to talk with! I would recommend anyone looking for good food to come here! Food we had: Veg Upma, Maggi, Eggless Omelette (besan ka chilla), masala cappuccino and latte.

BEST COFFE & BEST VIEW! This is by far the best coffee I’ve had in ages! The cold saffron latte and the masala latte is so tasty! The owner is amazing and the sunset was the most beautiful! Come here for sure guys xx

Run, don’t walk, to Kuku coffee shop.

The only place in Jaisalmer where you’ll see a vegan menu and the owners are incredibly kind and you can tell that they are passionate about what they provide.

The coffee is outstanding, my partner loved the pistachio iced latte. They also do a beautiful blooming rose tea and many other drinks you will not see on many menus. The oat milk and soy milk are homemade.

The food was lovely - the vegan smoothie bowl was a favourite, we also had some off menu vegan pancakes, the smoothies and vegan milkshakes are next level. Other exciting options include vegan omelettes, upma, poha. They are constantly striving to improve and add new items.

We loved it so much we came back 5 times, the rooftop is just a lovely place to relax, watch the beautiful Jaisalmer sunset and enjoy Deepak and Ritesh (Kuku and Tony)’s lovely company.

Beautiful place for a sunset! The owner is super friendly. The food is yum, and the sunset view is unique, owing to the strategic location.

Highly recommended.

Twice we went here to enjoy the silence and the views of the fort and city. I cannot rave enough about the coffee innovations- we tried a lot. Two absolute favourites are the lemon/ coffee shakerato and the ice-pistacho- cappuccino. We found no place near as good as Kuku Coffee Shop in Jaisalmer so just go there and meet the lovely owner and waiter

Had breakfast here and the selection of coffees was amazing! Had a rose latte, iced americano, hazelnut latte, Indian masala sandwich, and veg macaroni. Very simple but tasty food. Must visit!

A true gem inside the fort of Jaisalmer ! The two brothers who run it are very welcoming and the coffee they serve is too notch. So an ideal destination for sunset.

One minor detail is that the smell from the bathroom sometimes can be smelled at the rooftop, which is less ideal.

Great variety of food and drink and they have soy and oat milk! We came here twice and I wish I could have come back for the sunset because it has a lovely view. They have Indian coffee which is very good (you’ll get instant coffee in most places sadly) and very tasty masala, cinnamon and turmeric lattes. I also had porridge with fruit for breakfast. The owner knows exactly what vegan means so it felt nice not having to worry about dairy contamination.

Good to find plenty of Vegan options within the fort. A cafe at top of the fort with a splendid city view. Good food but with tourist rate. They have so many varieties of coffee with vegan options available.

It was an amazing experience, food was delicious specially unique (Rose Latte) coffee, sandwich.. infact everything we tried was yum.. atmosphere was so cozy, you can enjoy beautiful sunset with sip of coffee, also owner is very kind.. you can know about the beautiful history of Jaisalmer 😊.. overall best experience.. must visit.

At first glance you might question going here but it is WORTH the while. The view from the place and the sunset are spectacular! I love coffee although my sister is not a coffee person and this place left both of us with a “Wow” right at the first sip! We tried Iced Latte and Iced Rose Latte, I need to say that the Iced Rose Latte is a MUST TRY! It’s so so refreshing and the weather was a plus! I went for a second round of Iced Rose Coffee (this time without milk), it was even better than the latte! He gave me a rose with my Rose Latte which was so cute. The straws were metal straws and not paper or plastic and I loved this particular thing a lot.
The owner is really sweet and he grinds the coffee himself every night. He is really helpful, gave good suggestions for coffee and helped us in booking taxi too. I will for sure go here again while I’m still in Jaisalmer 🤍

This is a really nice place with a relaxed atmosphere. My wife and I came here to enjoy an iced coffee and the stunning views. A great place to take a break from the busy streets of the Fort.

I had a masala iced americano which was really good, and the service was exceptional too. The view is fantastic, and as a vegan, I was really happy to see that they offer plant based milk alternatives. 💚

This coffee shop offers not just delicious drinks but the best view and also so much laughter! The owners are fun brothers to chat with and you lose the track of time. When you realise you’re sitting with them and having the best time of your life! They are such warm hearted brothers. Because of their interesting stories and local tips, we became to love Jaisalmer even more. Of course, we enjoyed Kuku’s delicious coffee and amazing smoothie as well as the gorgeous view of Jaisalmer! This place should be on your top “must visit” list in Jaisalmer :)) I loved my real fruit smoothie with oat milk a lot!!! And the special coffees are very good, too! Highly recommend stopping by and checking out the cafe :))

This place is amazing. It is definitely a hidden gem in Jaisalmer, and a lot of it is because of it's owner, "Tony". He is quite a character.

This place has amazing coffee, and the reason it's his owner, he is obsessed about coffee and will gladly share his knowledge about the matter. He told me he roasts his beans every other night, a kilo or so, which means the freshness of the coffee is incredible, and you can definitely taste it in the beverage.

The owner is always thinking about innovation of flavors and perfecting his recipes. You'll never get bored as the place offers a wide variety of combinations.

I tried and americano and an affogato. They were both incredibly flavorful and delicious.

The place has a wonderful 180° view of the city which makes it a marvelous location to have breakfast or watch the sunset.

This is the best coffee I've had in Rajasthan and probably in India.

I definitely recommend this place as you'll get a 5 star product and service at a 1 star price.

The BEST coffee shop ever! We loved having a chat with the brothers, Kuku & Tony! They gave us so many tips and made our stay in Jaisalmer so much more adventurous! We had amazing drinks while looking at the view of beautiful sunset!
The baristas make all sorts of delicious drinks, including coffee and special flavored coffee, real fruit smoothies, milk shakes, iced drinks for a hot day and of course Indian/ western food, too!!! My favorite is Papaya smoothie with oat milk! I loved it so much that I had 3 huge glasses in 2 visits! My partner loved his Masala Cappuccino a lot. There are also rose latte, pistachio iced coffee, etc. I highly recommend this place! Definitely, going back one day!!!
