This simple cute cafe on the busy street towards Arambol beach is a hidden Gem. I had the best savoury crepe. Ordered Chicken and cheese crepe with Iced Mocha and an oatmeal cookie. It’s economical, have a hippie vibe and is run by these amazing people who serves with a smile and cook beautifully! Try when you are in that area.

Good coffee, although I was not a fan of the very heavy cow milk taste. Some might like it, but I preferred black coffee. Delicious yoghurt bowls and nice atmosphere.

My favorite place for really good and affordable coffee in Arambol. The place feels homey, cozy and authentic. I like the atmosphere, the friendliness of the employees, the not-too-sweet cakes, the short chats with people sitting next to me or the barista. Highly recommended: cheesecake, the sandwiches, tiramisu… and of cause: coffeeeeeeeee

This place is pretty underrated & not many people know about it. They serve amazing coffee, sandwiches & desserts. The cafe has rustic apartment kinda ambiance. It's not one of those places you go if you're looking for a place with good ambiance. It's a good cozy cafe with tight seatings but the food & coffee is upto the mark as well as pocket friendly too. The service is kinda slow as they make each dish with utter patience. So, expect a slower turn around time. Highly recommended if taste & budget matters to you & ambiance-service does not. It has become my go-to place whenever I'm in Goa for brunch. They also serve mouth watering Apple Pie. It's fresh, authentic & melts in your mouth.
