A neighborhood café that popped up out of the blue ended up being a surprisingly great find. As I’ve mentioned in earlier reviews, even though I love cafés, having to dress up just to visit one spoils the fun. What should be a leisurely, unplanned outing often turns into a stressful event. One evening, while waiting to finish some other work, I thought I’d give this place a try. Before heading over, I made sure it wasn’t one of those "dressy" spots for couples; otherwise, I wasn't going. It turned out to be the exact opposite. It had great café vibes—neat and uncrowded—so I stepped in happily. The menu wasn’t vast, and notably, there were no non-veg items except for egg. Since I wasn’t very hungry, I opted for a Red Pepper Pasta (the exact name isn't on the Zomato menu), which was lovely. This is high praise coming from someone who isn’t usually a fan of red sauce pasta. I don’t think it was a traditional red sauce, though; the color seemed to come strictly from the roasted red peppers. The real winner, however, was the bread. I wish I had ordered another serving! That, combined with the cheesy, gooey pasta, was a match made in heaven. I totally loved it.
