If coffee had a rustic cousin who refused to wear fancy city clothes, it would be the cup you get at Nellai Thati Bellam Coffee. This place takes your regular “two sugars, one milk” routine and throws it out the window. Instead, you’re handed a hot brass tumbler filled with palm jaggery–sweetened magic that tastes like South India in liquid form.
The star here is obviously the thati bellam coffee. It’s not just coffee—it’s coffee with personality. The palm jaggery gives it a smoky, earthy sweetness that hugs your taste buds without the guilt trip of white sugar. You sip it once and immediately wonder if you’ve been living a caffeine lie all these years. Bonus: it’s not too harsh on the stomach, so you can chug a second round without feeling like you’ve swallowed a thunderstorm.
The shop itself is no-frills—think roadside adda vibes, plastic chairs, and the hum of casual conversations. But that’s part of the charm. You don’t come here for latte art or Wi-Fi; you come here because this coffee feels like it was brewed by your grandmother, who also happens to be a caffeine wizard.
Prices are pocket-friendly, so you can treat yourself daily without your wallet filing for bankruptcy. Pair it with their light snacks and you’ve got yourself a mini happiness package.
Verdict: Nellai Thati Bellam Coffee isn’t just a pitstop, it’s a pilgrimage for coffee lovers who want authenticity in every sip. Forget cappuccinos and frappes—this is the kind of brew that makes you say, “Why isn’t life always...

Will be visiting next week again to try their sweets and savouries. Toilets are not good they are provided in the back. Got ample car parking. This is my edit after a second visit to this place, this time i enquired about the Aratipuvvu vada, that was there on the main board and on earlier occassion when asked about it during my breakfast time , they said that it would be available in the evening as a snack item, and on my second trip in the evening i asked about the same and the guy was impatient and said that it would not be available for another 3/4months and who ever mentioned about the availability as evening snack was wrong, i said fine and had tea and found tea is better than coffee, and also bought some savoury and sweets and the savoury items were hard and...
