The café sits on a quiet hilltop with outdoor and indoor seating options, making it an ideal stop for both brunch and sunset views. It’s especially popular among travelers, bikers, and locals looking for a calm place away from the city buzz.

How to Get There

Sunset Café is located near the Shillong View Point area at Laitkor Peak, roughly 12 km from Police Bazaar (the city center). It’s about a 30-minute drive, depending on traffic. The road leading up to it is scenic, winding through forested areas and army zones (since it’s close to an air force base). You can reach the café easily by cab or private vehicle. Just note that there’s limited signage, so use Google Maps to pinpoint the exact location. Parking is available but fills up quickly during evenings and weekends.

What to Expect

The setting is the star here: think breezy hill views, pine trees in the distance, and soft music playing in the background. The café offers a well-rounded menu featuring continental and Indian comfort food, burgers, pastas, momos, sandwiches, and hearty rice bowls. Their coffee and coolers are also well-loved, perfect to sip while watching the sun dip below the horizon. The café is pet-friendly and great for long, laid-back conversations.
