excellent and the place is ideal

Café Noir
Owing to its location it looks
very Parisian with just some
tables and chairs spread out
casually. Not just the coffees,
but the variety of sandwiches
and salads are good; however,
the array of desserts, yummy
cakes, pastries, mousses and
tarts, just take the breath away.

Café Thulp
Casual ambience makes for a
very homely feel; board games
and abundance of books further
enhance this feel. The food is
mostly burgers, sandwiches and
like, almost all of which are
excellent. The highlight
however is the changing menu
on the blackboard: fish and
prawn curry rice, Thai curry
rice, pandi curry and sannas…

Funky when it started out, this
has become just another chain
of coffee shops; the blaring
music could be an irritant for
some, though others swear by
the cappuccino. A few of the
cakes and muffins are
delectable.
