Instead of wasting money on big restaurants, try here for breakfast which tasted much much better than other hotels. Ghee roast was best, vadai was good here, sambar tasted nice. The only disadvantage here is limited space to sit there and eat. Coffee and lemon soda was great!

Visited this coffee shop recently. The coffee was great, and the staff were polite. It’s a nice place for a quick break or casual meetup. However, the ambience was quite hot and uncomfortable, especially in the afternoon. It felt like the ventilation or air conditioning wasn’t effective. Would have enjoyed the visit more if the place was cooler and more relaxing.

A nice place in the bylanes of White Town. Visited early morning after a walk at Promenade Beach and had Idli sambar which was served in a bright yellow plate & tasted awesome along with must have filter coffee. The place is nicely done and clean. Must visit.
