We had a coffee and a smoothie in late afternoon - the coffee was excellent and gone before the guy had time to bring the smoothies. Focussed fully at foreigners and serving all the usual stuff - Pizza, Juice, Smoothies etc. - it also has rooms but these were not seen.

Best coffee and food in the Varkala cliff. we felt very inspired to stop there every afternoon after a beach or yoga session.
The Vegan menu is good and they seems to be improving often with new delicious food.

The other reviews are right - this is a good place to go for service and food. Relaxed atmosphere and decent eating, although the “fish mole” I got wasn’t what I expected. Instead of fish served with mole sauce Mexican style it was more like a curry. But it was fresh and tasted good. You can get Indian food here but don’t expect an Indian experience. Most of the clientele are European or North American, mainly young people travelling around the country.

It's a cozy cafe on Varkala north cliff!
We had a carrot cake and tsunami frappe.
I usually don't like carrot cakes but this one was delicious,it was moist and not too sweet ,just perfect. The frappe had enough strong coffee taste.
They had a cute dog as well!

I went here early every morning whilst in Varkala in December for 3 weeks for my coffee. Really good coffee, consistently good. The staff are always cheerful and remember you, which is a nice touch. I also ate there a lot in the evening, they have a good vegan menu with pizza, noodles, burgers. They always have vegan cake which I highly recommend and their chia pudding is amazing. Great views, good wi-fi and friendly dogs! Will be back in December😎

This is where the Western tourists hang out when they want a change from Keralan food. Full of young yoga goers writing in their diaries. Food and drinks were good (although service slow) and the music surprisingly old skool. Great place to hang out and chat.

Strong coffee but they charge the same price for a single or double.... doesn’t make sense. The waitstaff seems to have an attitude towards me; ignores me until I call them after a long wait. Did I say, Wait can be long ? I used to frequent this place but alas, no more. Just don’t feel comfortable here.

Coffee was fantastic in this chilled out courtyard/cafe just at the start of the main tourist path in Varkala. Food & Juice also great and nice friendly staff. Clearly very popular with tourists although some did seem to hog the best seats/tables for a long time!

The staff are very attentive, have a sense of humour and seem very happy. Food really good, we especially loved the breakfasts.
Toilet could be cleaner and an extra hand wash basin would be good.
Overall a great experience.

We had pizzas the other night, they were ok if you don’t know the original Italian version. Lovers of the original should go for something different. But the cafe affigato was really stunning.
Two nights later we had bruschetta and pancakes which was very delicious.
We really like the music at this place and the owner (a bald british fella in his 6th decade) is one of a kind with his dry humor.
Last but not least: Abin is a 5 star waiter - incredible!

Cosy and casual outdoor cafe just overlooking the water body.
Any cafe open to the skies always draws me and hence we walked into this one .
Relaxed atmosphere and good fare.
The bean bags on the floor add to the lounging experience.

I have been here multiple times for drinks and dinner, breakfast and lunch. The food is good and the service is great. It’s right next to the Helipad and offers great view of the beach. Being on the cliff it feels really breezy and nice in hot days (which is always in Kerala). The place has a really good vibe, like reggae type.. good place to go with friends or solo.

We stopped to have a snack so we ordered some French fries.. OMG it was such a small portion that we didn't have any and left it for our two kids...and foe the price. So very disappointed.
Americano were good, juices okay. We shared a part of cake too..wasn't to bad.

This place is supposedly known to be good for coffee but I was disappointed to see they use coffee powders and a lot of crushed ice in their frappe's and chocachino.
The pizza although was too good. This place is right at the start of cliff and has a great view of the sea.
