The very 1st time i was here it was in Bangalore and I had a good experience. But then my 1st time in Chennai outlet in EA was sad- we were a large group, they were understaffed. What happened was they forgot pretty much 90% of what we ordered- a glass of water took forever and so finaly we left quite upset and pissed off. but then, since then I have been back here numerous times and it has always been good. There were times when we hit Escape for a movie and then came here for a quick salad and a drink. Or have had lunch and infact once my friend held her son's 4th bday here. They gave quite a good deal. I love their cajun potato wedges, fresh lime soda, ceasar salad, pasta and sandwiches. actually there is very little i dont like about the place in terms of food. Once I was doing back to back movies and so i came here for a quick lunch- chose their lunch combo and it was priced at Rs399 [ total vfm] Go here if you are looking for a place that is quiet, away from mall crowd and good food as well.. The only dessert item we dint like here was their brownie- which was very hard and dry.

Mixed Emotions The first time i visited this place, decided NEVER AGAIN cos its so heart breaking to see such an awesome menu in words but a horrible service that gets on ur nerves beyond the temptation the menu provides. The place was crowded as it would on any weekend in EA, that didnt keep the waiters busy, they infact were all standing in one side of the cafe, clueless as to who ordered what, or where to look so they can avoid a customer calling out to them. Pathetic, so say the least. Noone actually understood the concept of running a place for customers to eat in first place, leave alone the international favourites menu they were sporting. Sad. First experience - the appetizer platter that had onion rings, nachos and stuff was yumm, most of the menu items were not available, before we could ask for other options, the waiters disappeared again, the cold coffee was expresso in ice cubes - when asked the manager told its a latte / frappe, the waiter brought wrong order twice, the manager didnt want to meet eye to eye from the counter, waited for over an hour for orders / replacements / some attention, then canceled, waited again to pay (unfortunately) and left craving and hungry. Why did we go back again? That I can never answer, I think its the menu and the onion rings :) Plus the place seemed less crowded this time, so hoped for better service. The service was much better this time. Maybe better is a strong word, it was tolerable. They brought in what we ordered correctly atleast. The food was yumm though. Onion rings! Mozzarella fingers! Chilli Cheese Toast! Walnut Tart! Hoping service will improve further next time!

We stumbled upon this place in our quest to find some peaceful corner on a crowded weekend in Express Avenue. I get a feeling that frequent visitors of EA do not know of this place as it is tucked up suggly in a corner. On our first visit ( first of many many more) all that we were looking for a quite cup of coffee. But what a coffee it turned out to be. The true kick of a coffee and not coffee flavoured milk that is often served in even the well known cafes. I would go to the extent that their signature coffee is one of the best coffee i have had till now. You would find lot of options in cold and hot coffee. What was surpriing to know that they do not put sugar in their coffees. The place offers good comfortable seating options. the ambience is nice and colorful. This place is frequented by a lot of foreigners ( my observation). The place offers you food options like pasta pizza, saladas soups and meal combos. The food is good but the quantity is not that great. In terms of the price it is at par with cafes like Barista and CCD but the ambience and very comforatble and quite seating arrangement definitely makes it a value for the buck spent.
