Coromandel Cafe

Visited during my recent visit to Pondicherry. The place is very close to rock beach. We tried multiple veg options, including starters, main course and deserts. Pizza is their signature dishes. They even have vegan, non veg and veg option in their menu. Food was decent, taste was good. Quantity was enough for two people. Ambience is very good, one has option to sit indoors, outdoors. Restrooms are very clean. Overall the ambience is the best part of this restaurant. There is no parking facilities available, it is all road side parking. Two wheeler parking is opposite to restaurant. Cars parking is near by roads.

Food is really good and service is also fast. Try eggs Benedict and you won't be disappointed. The staff are decent and polite. Atmosphere is more of Victorian look of the cafe and nothing more. However there is always a wait for entry in this cafe during weekend or holidays which spoils the mood. It's not that great also that you wait for 30 minutes to enter.

It is s a true gem, offering a perfect blend of ambiance, service, and exceptional cuisine. I tried the lobster, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The charming decor, with lush greenery and a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe, made the experience even more enjoyable. However, the only downside was the wait time to get a table due to the crowd. Given the ample space available, it would be great if more seating arrangements could be made to accommodate guests more efficiently. Coromandel Cafe is definitely worth a visit.

The food is delicious and this place has a great ambiance. There is a lot of greenery which fills you with a sense of serenity. You can sit inside the cafe in air conditioned rooms or you can also sit out amidst the nature. The decor of the place is very beautiful. Non veg pizzas are a must try 🍕. Also try their mozzarella cheese burger and chicken burger. 🍔

What a lovely place and so affordable for what it is! I got the beef filet and it was excellent! The red pasta was delicious too. The brownies were not as good but still not bad. We loved the atmosphere and the food quality. Most of the staff were super nice but the head waiter that served us was a bit rude and dismissive. Still I recommend the place.

Came here again after two years, and finally got a place to sit inside the cafe because it was off season and all rainy on a weekday morning. The ambience inside is beautiful, the music is pleasant, the interiors are mildly lit. But that’s where it ends. The tables are old and fragile, the chairs are creaky, and the service is unbelievably bad for a cafe of this hype. There is no greeting at the door, no smiles, no suggestions, no prompt bill, and I got my carrot cake with a part chipped off. The spoon I got with my coffee was sticky. Worst of all, the servers just kept staring and looking at everyone eating there, and in spite of the dreamy ambience, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. They don’t serve food before 12, so all I had was coffee and dessert. The apple pie crumble was heavenly though, the carrot cake was too crumbly for my taste, and the coffee was average. They do have fresh tea on the menu, but when asked, I was told that it’s just ginger/lemon/lavender/others in hot water and not actually tea. That should have been clearer in the menu. All in all, a beautiful cafe that has a long waiting time to get in, and dreamy food is loosing all its charm due to the quality of service. It’s heartbreaking to see Coromandel like this.

If you are looking for delicious food and a fine dining experience with a feeling of being in white town, must visit this place. It has various kinds of sitting options to suit the group sizes and preferences. As we were a big group we actually got a private dining area for ourselves and personalized service. Ambience is captivating in the evening with serene light effects. Menu has good options for both veg and non veg but my favourite was the desert section. The cocktail menu is also creative and quirky. Wear your best and take some amazing pics for memory and have fun.

The ambiance and the food is the only reason I have given 3 stars, because I was not happy with the customer service, no response, asked for things multiple times to get it finally. Not a friendly way of talking with customers. Price is on the higher side, taste is good and quantity is fine. I highly suggest the staff to be provided with customer interaction training. For food exploration and ambiance, I would recommend this place highly.
