This outlet is located on the main road leading from Panchgani to Mapro Garden, and its highlight is that it allows you to pluck strawberries from its farm. Being in Mahabaleshwar and not enjoying strawberries in season time is a crime. But don't just restrict your experience to savoring strawberry cream and milkshake. Your strawberry experience is incomplete if you do not venture into a real strawberry farm and pluck the ripe fruits.
Interestingly and surprisingly, strawberry picking is free in this place. People are attracted by the farm, and thereafter, they order food here. However, the farm experience is somewhat unorganized. The owner can drop in any time and ask you to shift to another patch of farm or stop plucking or buy the plucked fruits. They could surely plan and organize the experience better. People won't mind paying a basic cover charge for the plucking experience.
The food is decent. The grilled sandwich was delicious, and the pizza had good toppings. They claim to serve the most economical strawberry cream in Mahabaleshwar at just Rs 180 (others charge around Rs 300). An average meal for 2 will cost around Rs 800.
The ambiance and cleanliness are both very basic. The owner keeps running taking orders and serving food. They are short-staffed.
If you can just ignore the ambiance and the shortfall of service, the place is worth a visit for its strawberry picking experience and also the food.
