I don’t write reviews normally. But this one, I had to. I ended up reminiscing about this place with a dear friend of mine and that’s when I thought, I owe this place some time to write a review on.
Where do I start from? Their subtle classy name plate stood out from the madening crowd in downtown Kotagiri. I pulled over and decided to have lunch. The moment I stepped in, I felt good.

Read moreIf you are looking for a good cafe plus some restaurant like food items like noodles, breads, momos etc near Kotagiri, then this is the place for you. The favourite for me is their open mushroom cheese toast. The seasoning is to the point and served on time. Please note there is waiting time for your orders since these dishes made fresh on orders.
Seems like it is a really small cafe but there is seating space for 20-30 customers I guess. The service is good and the quality of the ingredients are good. The only issue you are going to find is the space...
