Water touching your feet and the Sun kissing your cheeks is nothing less than a blessing from Gods above. This place has a unique charm to it and what adds to the beauty is the smell of freshly grounded coffee beans. Not more than a year after it’s opening in 2011, it became the hotspot of town offering handmade loaves of bread, sauces, pancakes and other bakery items. The owner Mr. Pradhumna Jethi tells us the place has seating options on two different floors (ground and fourth) and a third one is in the preparation at the rooftop (fifth floor) offering a wider view of the city as well as sunsets during the evening. They have recently started wood-fired pizzas as well which seem quite delicious going by the looks and everyone seemed to be trying them.

But this is not it, they have their own kitchen garden on one side where they grow Mexican Tomatillo, Bell Pepper, and other veggies and a unique barbeque unit on the other that adds to the spirit of the place. They’ve left no stone unturned to provide this restaurant a Mexican feel and honestly speaking, it does feel like one.
