We visited this cafe twice while in Varanasi! My husband got a egg sandwich and I got scrambled eggs, toast and Americano the first day. The second day we got French toast, egg sandwiches and iced Americano. We are visiting from America so it was nice to taste something that reminded us of home. The staff was very attentive and polite. The dining area is a little tight, the first day we shared a table(didn't bother us)but the second day we had the place to our selves. We visited around noon both days.
To save someone the trouble: We went to this cafe AFTER stopping at terracotta cafe (short walk away) Terracotta Cafes espresso machine was not working and they only had 3 breakfast items, that were not customizable.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND CAFE...
Read moreTiny little place with 4 tables. Easy to miss. Google Maps info is correct though. Check out my photo of the street and play a game of 'Spot the shop sign', it's in there somewhere.
I ordered a Regular latte which cost Rs120... Rs147 if you add the taxes, maybe they could be more upfront with the costs – other cafes do.
They couldn't change a Rs200 note and had to go out to get change... it took quite a while.
The coffee itself was bitter and very hot - throat burning hot, I had to leave it for 5 minutes but my taste buds were already wrecked.
By all means, give it a try if you are passing, but lets be clear - NOT the best coffee shop in...
Read moreWhat’s not to love about Café Café Varanasi!? The ambience, hospitality, and quality of the food/drink is seriously outstanding. Manish’s warm smile and genuine kindness was unmatched in comparison to every other Café that we have visited in our 3 weeks being here. Not to mention the coffee beans are sourced from top-quality growers vs. the generic Nescafe used by the majority of other spots in the area. Lastly, as a western tourist, any shop that opens prior to 10AM in India is a major win. 100/100 experience at Café Café Varanasi and definitely recommend to anyone...
