1O9 CAFE — Restaurant in Rajasthan

Great Coffee. Even Better People.

This small cozy cafe in the heart of the old city is a must visit. Not only for the great coffee and amazing pancakes, but for the mere warmth of the place - complete credit to the beautiful mother-daughter duo running the place with so much love.

They have a great coffee menu - they use really good and fresh coffee beans for all the different coffee types. I had the Latte Machiatto, Americano and Almond Butter Coffee in my many visits here.

The food is also really good - the pancakes were really nicely prepared and were delicious. The Australian Omelette was also extremely tasty.

The menu has a lot of vegan options, and the bakery looked very tempting as well (despite the fact that I don't eat desserts much). Extremely clean open kitchen and very hygienic preparation.

What hooked me though is the warmth of the place - which kept dragging me everyday to the place all the days I was traveling in Udaipur. The hospitality, the service, the love I felt when they prepared, greeted and talked. I would not mind visiting Udaipur again just to sit in 1o9 and have a laugh with these beautiful...

I ordered the tofu curry and was expecting a vegan Shahi paneer type dish. Instead, I got a watery tasteless gravy that tasted like raw tomatoes. I know canned tomatoes aren't commonly used in India, but that's what it tasted like. My friend ordered a pre packaged drink that was imported from Lebanon. Imported products also have an MRP and this was printed on the label. The MRP is inclusive of all charges like import costs and the like. The drink was not on the menu and had 125rs printed. They charged us 185rs for that drink under the pretext of import charges. By law, restaurants can charge more than MRP for 'service charges' but not under any other pretext. They are also required to mention the price to be paid clearly...

This is a tiny little cafe to have pancakes and waffles and desserts. The lady who owns the place is very sweet.

I had a chocolate banana pancake which tasted fine not to great could do with a little more chocolate.

But the location is such that you'd end up going here. It is very close to city palace so while you're walking towards the palace, and browsing the market and feel hungry, you'll visit this place as the desserts in the display window are very attractive.

They accept Paytm, which is not very common in Udaipur do that's convenient.

Over all it is ok to go here and try out a few things before you figure out what's best....
