The Cafe experience was truly rich at this conveniently located store in Anna Nagar. Loads of car parking space which is an added benefit. The prices seemed quite high at first but was worth absolutely every rupee. Portion size and taste was also good. Ambience is also on another level at this Cafe. If I could improve one thing at the Cafe it would be the service as I found the staff to be undertrained and took their own sweet time. Would recommend πŸ‘Œ.

Finest cafeshop in Anna Nagar, if u like to have perfect English breakfast & brunch this is perfect one. If u need only for cafe, ya u can go for it, they made a Cappuccino with exact ratio of Caramel flavoured, milk/ steamed foam & Sugar . We ordered the chicken wraps ya its good taste of mixed vegetables, mayonnaise & chicken with chilly flakes. Atlast we gone for strawberry cookies, its just ghee flavoured cookies & crispy too.. Coming to price for two persons around 850/- will be charged. Please check out my pics & support on instagram as Urbanfotravel. πŸ’“πŸ‘

Tried the Arabic breakfast. Value for money. Garlic bread was pretty average. Juice and sandwich were excellent. Omelette was good but it was too cheesy for my taste. Did not like the dim lightning. Wish it was brighter during breakfast time. Service was prompt and polite. 4 stars!

This is a fantastic place if you are in mood for some sweets, pastries or some great cuisine ! The price is very nominal as-well. They do have dine in service as-well. Only thing is the car parking is very less . You will end up hunting for a car space.

Hands down one of the best bakers in Chennai!Im writing this review with glee. I wanted to do something special for my sister on her birthday and decided to customise a cake with a theme (Multi tasking mother).I found this design on Pinterest and checked with a couple of home bakers for the customizing the cake. Most of them quoted 2x to 4x the cost of regular cakes. Though I understand that theres additional cost for customization, I felt it to be on the higher side.I stumbled upon Cafe Arabica on some YouTube video and decided to check with them. Mr. Lal was my POC and he understood my requirements clearly.I honestly did not expect much, because I did not want to be disappointed. But much to my surprise, the cake looked picture perfect to the one I had imagined. Attaching the picture for reference.I had asked for butterscotch flavor cake and they nailed it! The cake looked and tasted good. And the best part was that it costed me only around 1. 5k which was 1/2 or 1/3 of the cost quoted by few other bakers.Ill definitely recommend this place to anyone for custom/traditional cakes.

One of the Best places in town to have shakes and fries. The ambiance is too good, at least according to me. The strawberry milk shake is a must try here. Kids will love this place for sure. Parking place for bikes and cars are ample. The place usually gets crowded after 8 during weekends. Service and support provided by the staff are up to the mark. Price will justify the taste of the dishes served here.

Second time Ive been here. Food is awesome. Good quantities too. Price is definitely not cheap but not exorbitant too. Ambience is good and generally less noisier than other coffee shops. They bake awesome cakes. One thing they have to improve, especially during breakfast time is speed of food service.

Review β„–19

I tried the blueberry cheesecake and the baked cheesecake, and both were very disappointing. No traces of cream cheese and hence it wont make the cut for cheesecake or red velvet lovers like me. The cake wasnt fresh either. 3 stars for the ambience.If youre planning on going there, just a heads up that parking is not very convenient around the joint.

Looking for a quiet place to hang out with your friends? Cafe Arabica would be the best choice.You want to try out pastries then this place is a sure go.You get delicious pastries which look and taste good. Their chocolate truffles and tiramisu are a must try. Their other courses are also finger licking delicious. You would have never seen so much veggies on a veg pizza ever before (its yummy too). The chicken BBQ pizza has the right amount of tanginess it needs. Their watermelon mojito and mint mojito are refreshing and you would slurp it down without thinking twice. Would recommend the lasagne too, its delicious but the quantity is a little less. They also serve good coffee. Many not authentic filter coffee types, but its good. On the whole you would return home with yummy tummy feels.

A calm restaurant managed by Sea Shell Savoury.Finest baked items available.Especially cakes are awesome to eat, but sometimes some cakes (RAWA CAKE) smell the eggs very hard.So it made us something uneasy to eat, but tasted good..Anything you buy, the packaging is awesome and am sure youll love it.Exclusive information is: This group of hotels and restaurants are owned by ACTOR ARYA (Kollywood fame)

Ambience is ❀. Freshly grounded coffees are top notch. Normal cakes are dope. The Bluberry Cheesecake was rubbery with some strong yeast flavour in it, hazelnut cheesecake was super soft bt the flavour was blunt nd sweetness was high. Spl falooda did justice. A great place to sit nd have fun for long time.

I should say the food here was just yummy. We ordered a sizzling pasta, and was trying it for the first time - was just impressed. The beverages were too good too. The service time was quite fine. Although the place was a little dark, which the teeny weenies might like, the food makes it up for all. Overall a good place with good food, a place which follows rules of current COVID situation.

Review β„–51

We had wonderful experience here at Cafe Arabica, everything was great - food service, ambience.. KUDOS to the staff.I am only giving three stars, simply because the address does not match with the pin on Google maps. Although the address says its beside Savoury SeaShell, the location on the map is 190meterz away from SeasShell Restaurant. Kindly have this corrected. Anna Nagar has changed so much over the years, at times its difficult to locate a place without the help of Google maps - then the location on the map is incorrect. Does not meet the purpose. Thank you.

Review β„–81

My husband and I decided to head for a scrumptious continental breakfast. While we had another Anna Nagar-based place in mind, it was closed, so we decided to try Cafe Arabica instead. We tried their Arabian Breakfast and American Breakfast. On first glance, we felt 300-350 for a breakfast platter was a bit on the high side. But as the food started arriving, the quantity and quality surprised us. The slices of bread are thick yet so soft and beautiful baked. The sandwich had a generous amount of filling. The juices were just perfect and so fresh and flavourful despite them being sugarless. The only one negative comment Id have to make was that it took time for the dishes to arrive. But that wouldnt be a fair judgement as I was in a hurry to leave and get to work on time. Im sure it wouldnt have bothered me otherwise. We will definitely be going back to try out more of their dishes, especially the baklava. And the staff was very courteous.

Review β„–89

Ambience- Takeaway or has a large dining area incase one wants to dine in.Pocket friendly- Reasonable for the items quantity.Food- The sweets are all stale and has got this strong medicinal smell. I took 10 different types of Arabian sweets which looked very appetizing but one bite and i couldnt swallow it.The sweets were off smelling and had a bitter taste to it. Its absolutely wrong to sell stale stuff. You could cause food poisoning to people. I tried small bites of 3 of the 10 sweets and all turned out bad. Had to throw the rest off.Suggestion to all buyers would be to insist on tasting before buying.Service- The server was polite and prompt and was ready to provide a mixed sweet box when insisted.Rating- 1.5 just for the ambience and service.

Cafe Arabica has a welcoming ambience with dim lighting that provides a mystical feel. There is a display of desserts that one can choose from; the baked cheese cake is a must try dessert that melts in your mouth. The mains include some good old hot dogs with fries, platters, flavorful pizzas and much more. Thoughtfully picked sauces are the highlight in any dish.

Went to Cafe Arabica to try out their desserts as I heard other bloggers say its worth a try. They had a wide varieties of cheesecakes, mousse, pastries, chocolates and doughnuts.The ambience is pretty good and pleasant.I ordered:Walnut pie:This is specifically for those who love walnuts. The pie crust was filled with walnuts and dates. Its recommended to eat it along with vanilla ice cream else it might seem too dry and heavy.Baked cheesecake:Traditional old baked Cheesecake you find generally. Good in taste and texture.
