Café Coffee Day — Restaurant in Kerala

Used to the best cafe (No. 1) in Trivandrum, when it was CCD. Now, it is "The Coffee Day".

Coffee wasn't exceptional, but good - Cappuccino Grande. Tasted like a cappuccino for sure (not the great old taste) and wasn't hot enough. It was like it cooled down a bit after prep.

The Service is the biggest letdown. The order counter staff (lady) needs training. Who ever stands there, is going to be the face of the cafe. The other staff (male) who brought order seemed more professional.

Professional etiquettes were earlier ingrained in the operations of this outlet, earlier, by its staff.

Atmosphere, well u can't beat this cafe atmosphere anywhere else in Trivandrum. It's a blessed spot in Kowdiar ♥️.

There were pedestal fans earlier, now it has been removed.

Hence the visit. Would genuinely love to see this cafe rejuvenating back to life. It's been there since ages, even is shown in many old movies ....

PS - It seems like this place on Google is now attracting reviews from a CCD, as well as The Coffee Day @ Kowdiar. This review is about The Coffee...

This is not the Cafe Coffee Day coffee chain, it used to CCD but now it is just Coffee Day.

They have an air-conditioned indoor section and an outdoor section which can get a little hot and noisy depending on what time of the day you are there.

I would recommend sitting inside until after sundown.

They do make decent coffee but you will have to go to the counter to order, I would have personally preferred of they took the order considering it is a cafe and mostly we are there to relax and catch up with friends.

Parking is roadside so depending on how busy the place is, it might be a little tricky to find parking.

They are costly by Trivandrum standards but otherwise the charges are at par with the other cafes.

I have taken a star of because of the self serve...

Been a regular here since 2005 and whenever I come down to trivandrum.

Been a consistently good spot to hang out with friends and family, over the years the crowd vibe has undergone some form of evolution with the earlier crowd being the young school/college goers where as it caters to almost all age groups these days.

It used to be Café coffee day back then and during Covid when it was shut down for a while and then with the CEO of Café coffee day passing away it was permanently shut down and later converted into "Coffee day" run by the property landlord itself.

Since then the prices of the items have come down and so has the quality.

But still a good place...
