Wake & Bake - Best Family Cafe Restaurants in Shimla/Best Food/Best Coffee in Restaurant in Shimla

A very cozy and bright little cafe on mall road Shimla. It was 2 floors + a rooftop searing option. Their staff are very friendly and pleasant to talk to. Loved the service. Menu is also diverse and have a lot of options. We had pizza slices, penne white sauce chicken pasta and a falafel wrap. The cafe looks onto the mall road as well setting a nice ambience. Pricing is also very apt, not too expensive, definitely a must visit place

We went around snack time and got a hot chocolate (8/10). We also got a white sauce pasta (8/10) which was served with 2 big bland garlic toasts (they can be adjusted to be smaller and more flavourful), I chose the option to add mushrooms and chicken to the pasta. We also ordered a homemade iced tea which had a lime touch to it (9/10). We were approached to provide us window seating and the staff looked approachable and all had smiles mostly. The location is prime and the view is one of the best so far as it is right opposite of the town hall and police station (square like area on mall road). It also has a cool roof spot where you can go and enjoy fresh air and views while enjoying your food (as long as it isn’t raining😂) Enjoy! Definitely recommend!

Special about their desserts, especially the carrot cakes and pastries, which are often irresistible. The quality of ingredients generally feels fresh, contributing to the overall appeal of the food. Also smoothie & cold coffee is 👍🏼 good . Service is friendly and efficient, though during peak tourist season or busy hours, a short wait for a table is not uncommon.

The cafe can get a bit crowded, but the lively atmosphere usually adds to the charm rather than detracting from it.

Amazing experience at this cafe. We chose to have brunch two days in a row at this pretty cafe. Located bang in the middle of the mall road with a beautiful view of the town hall. Day one we had the English breakfast and savoury crepes. Both were outstanding. Day two was Mexican chicken and Nutella waffles. Again it was amazing! Staff is welcoming, the view is fantastic and food excellent!

Always a delight to visit and have the best pasta along with coffee's The elaborated menu for the middle eastern breakfast is heart throbbing for a person who loves to try various cuisines
