Nice place, but not enough space for big meet-ups! But still deserves to get 5 🌟

The dishes I had ordered were good. They staff service was also great. There is a wait time before you get the dishes.You also have an outdoor seating, with cool sea breeze during the late evening hours.

One of my most fav place in this area!! Sit by the window with a perfect view of the beach sipping a nice frappe slowly. It’s nice but don’t do any comparison with other coffee places like Starbucks!! For me with chennai heat this is the best place to sit in AC

I liked this place which is having a cool look and attractive menu but the shop is small ,its like sweet and small coffee cafe which is mainly attracting the couples and the plus point is its having a see view .Where everyone can sit and chill .Its worthy and I liked it😊

I like the place, especially the glass-wall-view of the beach... We liked the chicken sandwich and also various clod coffee. But I feel that the maintenance should be improved. ACs should work, restroom fittings and supplies should be properly placed.

Nice place to have soft drinks, beach side view in top stairs. But top stairs is not maintained well. Nice place for official meeting for hours. No one disturb you

I visited here with my friend. Ordered 2 regular cold coffees. Cost Rs. 289 per serve. An upscale place. We preferred to take seat outside the shop facing beach. Lacks cleanliness and a little messy. Coffee tastes good but not great.

Its not that I visited them, I just live close by hence its visible on maps as places visited.However I have seen the place and live the location. Close to the beach, hidden in a corner and small but nice cozy shop.As for their menu, its same like any other Barista. What you pay for here is the view of the Elliots beachThe pic below is from the street Barista is on.

If you want to have coffee in the evening while enjoying sunset and sea facing view then this is the ideal place for it in Chennai. Just you will be little far from sea. Interiors need little renovation otherwise its good. Coffee and other things are same as in other Baristas. Outdoor seating is also available.

The place seemed a bit empty for a cafe near a bustling locality. The cold coffee i ordered was good though.

You can get the best view of the beach from first.floor seating and its really awesome both during the morning and evening. The food is as usual like any other Barista. The coffee is better than the CCDs one. The prices are a little bit costly as you can expect from any cafe with that beach view. You can park your vehicles infront of it in the side road. Apart from the beach the ambiance also looks good inside if you were not able to get the beach view tables.

Bad service...i didnt like this place:First thing: Went with one of my friends. Ordered a Frappe and told the coffee guy at the counter that I need to leave quickly and wanted to get the order done fast. Our order wasnt dont quickly, and could see a few females who came after us got their orders delivered at their table.Secondly: Bad table service. Some immature adults who sat in the table I took, before us, had spilled coffee. These guys couldnt clean themselves. Had to prompt to get it done.Finally: We got our stuff packed and stepped out in frustration

It is noisy but gives you good vibes of a coffee shop. there is no extra room to readers or writers. I saw a guy struggling to write in between many of us.. not a good place to write
