Even though it is a cafe, different kinds of avil milk, shakes, and snacks too are sold here. The latest addition to the menu is the iconic ice ‘churandi’ or flavoured, shaved ice. Rashid managed to introduce flavoured ice (also known as ice orathi), which is a trademark of the Kozhikode beach, in Kochi, earning the admiration of many. He says that families love visiting the cafe as it is a cosy spot to enjoy some valuable time in each other’s company. Tea Cafe begins to get busy by four in the evening and people often queue up in front of the cafe even late into the night.

A cozy spot away from the buzz
Lots of people reach the Tea Cafe as the construction of the four-lane highway has been paused temporarily. Even though the cafe is in the city, it is at a spot which is calm without the buzz of speeding vehicles. So, families and groups of friends frequent Tea Cafe not just to enjoy tea and snacks but to enjoy hearty conversations too. In the evenings, you could taste a variety of tea and snacks while listening to soulful music.
