Carpe Diem Art Gallery, Learning Centre and Cafe

Disappointed Experience,Not as Expected 😕 I had been wanting to visit Carpe Diem Art Gallery, Learning Centre and Café for quite some time, but when I finally did, the experience was just okayish, definitely not the “wow” moment I was hoping for, given the name and reputation. The first impression wasn’t great. We were greeted not by staff, but by a pack of dogs at the entrance. For those who are scared of dogs, I’d honestly recommend ringing a bell before entering, otherwise, you might end up running back to the gate. Inside, the place had potential, but the overall vibe felt a little too laid back. Apart from the owner, who did greet us with a smile, the staff didn’t feel welcoming or attentive. That lack of warmth set the tone for the visit. It’s not a place I’d return to unless I hear things have improved significantly. With the right energy and better hospitality, this place could truly shine, but as of now, it fell short of expectations. Let's not talk about food & parking 😐

This is an art gallery with a small cafe which serves some really good food. We had some coffee, Oreo shakes and apple crumble which were all good. They had some lovely art on display and an art session going on which was cozy. Inspite of being short staffed, the food came quickly and was nice.

We absolutely loved this place - from the gallery to the cafe! As artists, we enjoyed getting lost in the great selection of artworks displayed at the gallery. The cafe area is just gorgeous! surrounded by greenery and cute artworks on the walls and the tables! They have carefully displayed hand painted tiles on each table. The food servings are enormous, which is just amazing! The generosity and the quality of food is superb! We would recommend the English Breakfast and any of the waffles! This was one of the very few places where we got GOOD hot coffee! The people there are friendly, courteous, artsy and such a pleasure to be around! Definitely spend a good amount of time here if you're creativly inclined. You'll certainly be inspired just by being here and hearing about all the workshops they hold regularly. This would definitely be my daily breakfast/brunch place if i was living in Goa!

This place is a combination of art gallery, cafe and art workshop and sale of art items. I would highly recommend to visit this place to experience the authentic Goan culture. Please make sure to maintain calmness as this place is as good as a museum. We totally loved the food which is freshly cooked upon placing the order. Good place to spend a time to have food, read books, work in quiet. Its managed by a family and they are so kind.

Visited the beautiful art gallery and the serene cafe behind it. Enjoyed the good food and drinks.

The food here is amazing. We ordered sandwiches and burgers that tasted splendid. This place offers really good food for reasonable prices. For drinks we ordered a few shakes and cold coffees, they were really great too. The ambience was really good, a nice pleasant place to hang out and also admire the artifacts when u enter the place. The only downside was that the service was kind of slow, but I don't blame them since the order was kind of large and they seemed to make everything fresh. So I didn't mind waiting longer for such good food

We ordered all day breakfast, which was okay. Tuna sandwich smelled of stale fish. So we left it as is. Birdie burger patty was chicken minced with dough, we could taste the uncooked powdery dough in our mouth. Cold coffee was okay. Waffles were again powdery thick dough covered in chocolate ice cream and in edible. So we thought that we will eat the icecream.. but it was stale and smelled of everything that was in the fridge. Also, please note that place serves beef. I think the cafe Should stick to art which is marginally better and equally overpriced.

Wonderful little place to spend half a day looking at art, eating scrumptious food, and drinking tasty drinks. Many many adorable doggos hanging around who are very well mannered.
