Review: Neek Cafe, Kochi – A Hidden Gem in 鈍色 Hues
Tucked away on a quiet street in Kochi, Neek Cafe is a masterpiece of subtle elegance and intimate charm. Run by a husband-and-wife duo who have built everything with their own hands—literally—the space feels deeply personal and effortlessly chic. From the roasting of beans to the perfect pull of an espresso, they do it all with heart and precision.
