It was soo peaceful and calm listening to the music and sipping coffee at evening in this place. Feels like home. You can actually sit on table, chair or on floor cushions. Ambience is 100% beautiful. Place is nicely decorated with flowers and books.

An impromptu plan it was to "pay a visit" to this cafe. A small old cottage vibe reminding of Kerala styled homes from the interior, I was really fascinated by the dripping water "effect". They have added a touch of Goan cuisine in the menu, but it was not overwhelming. Average, vegetarian food where nothing was out of the ordinary. We ordered a few coolers, they didnt do much, because the drinks were not cool n was again, average. Food wise the place can do way lot better. Though the fresh ingredients of the Caeser salad was impressive, missing croutons was disappointing. Spaghetti aglio o lio was just seasoned with salt, chilli flakes- had better hopes from the dish. Panner fritters n cauliflower pakoda was also meh;( Tres Leches was the only dish was stood out to a group of 5. Now, let's rate what made this place insta worthy n insta famous - the vibe. A cozy little cafe, fits in perfectly. Adding the plants and the cute planters added to the charm of the place. It was a mix of old rustic household n modern aesthetics;with a corner for the bookworms, plants n planters for the plant lovers. The best part was the water dripping effect, I just wish the place was quiter, and all I could hear was the sound of water dripping from the ceiling and some sufi music being played on the gramophone. It would have been a perfect blend. Vibe check was just apt. I had way more expectation from the cafe with regards to the food, hopefully they will score a solid 90 soon in this subject as well. The servers and the person-incharge was really accomodating, we changed our seats thrice, but they didn't stop us from doing so. Sorry if we bothered you guys:) At the end a small suggestion, as it is a pure veg cafe, adding on something new to the food menu will be really amazing. Lastly, thank you for such good hospitality:)

Kindly read the review before visiting the place. Just google the place & it will take you to exact spot. Coming to place, by outside you might feel like some small random cafe, but inside it completely different, somewhat you need to manage for parking, You guy need to book the place before visiting here, no walk-in are entertainied, you can book from bookmyshow. Inside the place calm cozy village kinda place, you would love to spend more time here. Place offers a wide rang of songs, everyday new singer visits the places. Yes it's definitely must visit place for birthday party or any special occasions. Even the food is very nice & unique because they have tried to bring in the Goa culture kinda of food. Ordering food is not mandatory. Overall satisfied with the visit.

The place has the most Beautiful Ambience with the touch of aesthetics which lots up the mood. To add on to it, they have live music by “Pavan Bhat” whose melodious voice makes your soul happy. They even have books and most amazing plants with pots which we would definitely love buying! Overall it gives us an experience, which makes us think about revisiting again and again. Would definitely love to get back.

We were skeptical of the food taste reading all the latest reviews but found the quantity and quality of the food served to be very good! One suggestion - don't go for a full dinner or lunch since the entire audience will place orders together. The management will also benefit from reducing the options on the menu. Coming to the actual show - it was a fantastic experience! Loved all the songs performed by the artist Subramanya Acharya and his humility on stage! Left us wanting for more! We will definitely be back again

Tried the Americano and the creamy broccoli soup. The food was alright -nothing particularly memorable that would make me return for the flavors alone. However, the amblence is where this place truly shines, It's calm, green, and beautifully set up-perfect if you're looking to sit quietly, get some work done, or just unwind for a while. The staff were warm and attentive, adding to the overall comfort of the experience. One small caveat: the peaceful vibe can be disrupted if other patrons are talking too loudly, which happened at the end during my visit. But that's more a matter of timing than the café's fault. Overall, it's a lovely spot to relax, even if the food doesn't steal the show.

This was a truly memorable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment, though one hour felt far too short to take it all in. The authentic retro vibes offered a wonderful escape from everyday life. Thank you for making our day so special!
