Get yourself a place that lets you chill as much as you like. Check out our residences in Kochi

Pepper House Cafe, Calvathy Road

The Pepper House Cafe is housed in a colonial style building which was an actual pepper warehouse during the Portuguese Era. Plus, they have a small library, a museum and of course, some great food. We suggest you try their Grilled Aubergine. And yes, it sounds really fancy until you realise ‘aubergine’ is just the french word for our ‘brinjals’.

Must-try: Passion Fruit Lemonade, Ravioli, Brownies

Address: Pepper House, Kalvatty Road, Fort Kochi, Kochi

Timings: 10 AM – 7 PM

Cost for Two: 500/- INR

Loafers Corner Cafe, Fort Nagar

Loafers Corner Cafe is located on Princess Street. This street is believed to be the first one that came up in Fort Kochi. But the cafe is so popular, the street is often called the Loafers Corner. So if anyone gives you a hard time because you are a “loafer”, tell them that there’s an entire street dedicated to your tribe.

Must-try: Chocolate Cake, Omelette, Hot Chocolate

Address: Princess Street, Fort Kochi

Timings: 8.30 AM – 8 PM

Cost for Two: 400/- INR

Kashi Art Cafe, Burgher Street

Without a doubt, the Kashi Art cafe is one of the best cafes in Kochi. The cafe houses an art gallery and is a regular hotspot for artists, painters, and sculptors. On top of it, it serves delicious pastries too. Which are no less than any piece of art you’ll find at this place.

Must-Try: Bacon Sandwich, Tuna Sandwich

Address: Burgher Street, Fort Kochi

Timings: 8.30 AM-10 PM

Cost for Two: 600/- INR

East India Cafe, Bazaar Road

‘East India Cafe Fort Kochi’ is quite popular for both tourists and locals. And like the Pepper House Cafe, it is housed in an old warehouse too. Except, this one’s from the British era. Probably why it’s styled like a typical London coffee bar. An evening at this cafe would transport you straight into a P.G Wodehouse novel for sure.

Must-Try: French Toast, Hot Chocolate

Address: Plot 272, M.I.G Housing Society, 11th Cross Road, Panampilly Nagar, Kochi

Timings: 11 AM – 9 PM

Cost for Two: 700/- INR

Qissa Cafe, KB Jacob Road

The Qissa Cafe is known for its elegant ambiance. Believe it or not, the cafe is nestled beneath the canopy of an age-old rain tree. On top of it, the interiors are clean with white backdrops. And plenty of aesthetic decorates. So yes, it’s a very fancy experience. Perhaps even fancier than the classmates who bought two sets of crayon sets back in your school days.

Must-Try: Banoffee Pie, Carrot Cake

Address: Number 18, KB Jacob Road, Fort Kochi, Kochi

Timings: 9.30 AM – 7.30 PM

Cost for Two: 400/- INR

Mocha Art Cafe, Jew Town

Not many cafes in Kochi are as quaint as the Mocha Art Cafe. The decor includes dutch style windows, a beautiful vertical garden, and old-school furniture. And again, it was once an old warehouse dating back to the 16th century. Basically, Coachinites are even more fascinated with empty warehouses than bank robbers in every heist movie ever.

Must-Try: Shakshuka, Chicken Schnitzel

Address: 6/127, Opposite Jew Synagogue, Mattancherry, Kochi

Timings: 11.30 AM – 7.30 PM

Cost for Two: 1000/- INR

Downtown Cafe, Panampilly Nagar

Downtown Cafe Kochi is quite popular. And it serves the best continental cuisine in town. On top of it, the ambiance of the place is something you’ll want to enjoy on a date. We suggest you order their signature main course, Huevos Rancheros. And since none of us know how to pronounce it, it can be a great conversation starter with your new date. No thanks needed!

Must-Try: Coconut Wings, Hueves Rancheros

Address: 56/2565-D, Downtown Hopetown, Near Avenue Centre, Panampilly Nagar, Kochi

Timings: 12 PM – 9.30 PM
