Highly recommended place with a proper Old Kolkata vibe! Situated besides Adi Haridas Modak, this place serves excellent quality foods at a competitively affordable price! If you come here, must try their sandwiches, coffee and of course that special egg poach!

A heritage eatery that's still preserving the old-world charm of North Kolkata through its vintage ambiance & traditional foods. Situated at Shyambazar 5 Point Crossing, adjacent to Haridas Modak, this food joint is easy to locate. They serve sandwiches , butter/jam/cheese toast, omlette, coffee, tea, lassi & milk-shakes. The food is good but you may need to wait for sometime after placing your order due to the small kitchen size & capacity. It's a compact place, which can accommodate a limited number of people. Recommended.

Great place for a quick delicious bite while enjoying the Shyambazaar vibe which is also super affordable. Negatives are huge rush and shortage of tables and not so long list of dishes in food menu.

Located near Shyambazar Five Point Crossing (APC Road). It has no special decor. Has seating arrangements for 20 people(approximately). Tried the Cheese Corn Sandwich. It's great and Pocket friendly. Tea is good too. Service is quick and Staffs are friendly. Overall, a nice visit. Since this place serves breakfast items mostly, it remains crowded BUT it's worth the wait ! :)
