What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere and the simplicity of the items offered. Their filter coffee is one of the best I have had, and I am more of a tea lover. The chairs made of rattan wood and the seating inside, simple and elegant, and the hospitable nature of the staff, will make it one of your favourite places to visit, especially on work or a brief meeting. Prices are okay for the ambience that you get. Parking is on the road or street

The ambiance here is very good offering a serene and inviting setting. They feature a private room that truly lives up to its name, providing a romantic atmosphere with soft, subtle lighting. A striking feature of this space is the large and elegant painting of 'The Last Supper,' which adds a sophisticated touch. We sampled the corn cheese momos, cheese sandwich, coffee, and Milo milkshake. The Milo milkshake was particularly enjoyable, and the coffee stood out for its exceptional quality. We later learned that their filter coffee is a specialty. The barista, Mr. Surya, was engaging and proactive, adding to the positive experience. Overall, this is a highly recommended spot to visit when in R.A. Puram
