Tea Villa, Bandra(W)

This place has got raving popularity. Right from introducing the concept of a Tea Cafe, to the beautiful interiors with a pleasant and a happy feel, the beautifully curated menu and the beloved waffles.

This is the place with the right mood. The presence of zodiac signs , a lady dressed and standing with tea cups, tea trivia posters and a colour combination of black & white will make you stay back and you will walk out with a complacency of time well spent.

                            

Service is quick but i found the staff little less attentive. And this is one of the cafes with a wallet parking and in area like Bandra, we are all familiar with the perks of that.

This place is known for their varieties of Tea. And if you are not a tea person then also, tea villa will not disappoint you with its vivid varieties of coffee and other beverages.

Speaking about the food they have some really impressive options and the best of it are their waffles. I am obsessed with their waffles, they are the best & something not be missed - fit to satisfy your soul.

As mentioned above, they also have some really good and unusual option to munch and feast on. You can choose from pancakes, waffles, pizzas, starters, soups, salad fries, dimsums, burgers sandwiches, bagel, pasta, sizzler, completing the lot with some options of lebanese, pan-asian, Mexican & continental dishes. So you can eat anything that suits your mood.

                     

PS - Perfect place to spend some composed and calm time* sipping your favourite beverage with some delicacies.

*Composed time doesn't come with empty space. Tables are generally full on peak hours.

Icekraft, Oshiwara.

This place has added a new aspect to ice-creams – surprising our taste buds with customised make yourself flavours. Plus, it’s not only a ice-cream parlour, it’s a dessert parlour cum small eateries with choice of waffles, sandwiches, Churros & salad. But the mainstay is their Stone Cold Ice Creams and other scrumptious desserts – pancakes, churros & waffles.

               

Ice Creams - People like their ice-creams to be easy and quick but icekraft does completely opposite of this. Firstly you have to choose from few rhetorical overused bases and then add toppings to make it look and taste better. As there are chances that you end up making a weird concoction. But once you are sure about how you want your ice-cream with all the sauces and toppings then this place will not let you down.

Since your ice-cream is made on your demand, people have to wait a lot. Sadly ice-cream was less than what was expected.

Waffles, Churros and Pancakes – The churros waffle topped with marshmallows, whipped cream and maple syrup was the star.  I have tried the Red Velvet Waffle and loved it. The waffles and pancakes will not disappoint you either and priced very sensibly. They are worth coming back for.

Moreover, the space is too compact - there was more space for staff than customers. Being a small joint, they managed a little space for seating by adding an entresol. And they have a small live kitchen counter and that smell of kitchen adds to the disappointment.

These few things made my experience at icekraft a little underwhelming.

But it also had few positives, like the concept itself is good but still in a very under nurtured stage.  And the staff was quite friendly and hungry for feedback.

To sum it up you should go there when you have enough time and energy to put on ice-creams as it is a decent effort to add different aspects to ice-creams. And if not ice-cream, you can visit this place for other desserts or a quick bite.

PS – I haven’t tried their sandwiches and pasta but at the price tag like these they are going to be the steal deals.
