This is one of the oldest local coffee place in Kumbhakonam operating since 1914.
Food taste was great and service was excellent.
The coffee was good, but didn't meet the hype it created (my personal opinion)
If you are a coffee enthusiast, this place is a must visit if your are visiting Kumbakonam.
Tucked away in a small lane in the Adi Kumbeshwar temple complex, this place claims to have invented the famous Degree Coffee 110 Yrs ago.
Invented or not, the coffee was brilliant. Thick cows milk being blended into fresh aromatic coffee decoction was a treat. Will definitely visit again.
There are some places where you go just for good food taste.
Let me tell you this is no ordinary place. This is one of the oldest local coffee place in Kumbhakonam.
It would be unfair if I say food taste was great. The taste was delicious (cant be explained in words)
I have never seen such humble staff in my life. If you love to explore local food local cafes this is a must visit place for you.!
This place cant be defined / explained by ratings.
Simple and economical lunch. Good Tiffin like Aadai Avial. Tucked in the shopping lane in the lane leading to Adhi Kumbeshwarar street, this place is worth a visit while at Kumbakonam.
Degree coffee is first explored here. Coffee taste is very good here. Cleanliness is also maintained here. This hotel is very near to temple near shopping complexes.
There are 2 other hotels with same name outside temple premises.
Food is good tasty... More than Food service was excellent... Especially Degree coffee was good.. tasty... worth it
.. Little old hotel...Accessibility is inside a market street... on the way to temple
. Or they call it inside temple... there are two more with almost similar name of this hotel...
108 year old hotel serving pure vegetarian food breakfast lunch and evening snacks. Simple old fashioned decor. The famous Degree coffee was invented here. Food is served on plantain leaves and the place is clean. Located in the congested market area this place is best accessed by walk.

Amazing place. Food and service is exemplary. They DO NOT HAVE any branches. Please note. Inverter of Degree Coffee (Kappi). Not to miss.
Had a coffee at this place.
I would say this is the best coffee i had in Tamilnadu🙂
No words to describe the feeling, proportion and blend of milk sugar and coffee was at its best.
Please note that this is not a 5 star, 4 star or three star cafe but those who like degree coffee must taste it here.
Location: Temple street - Kumbeshwarar
When customers increase they are slightly confused and not able to serve. Went there when it just opened for the day and what we experienced was after part of the meal is served they forget about that customer and start serving others, that is dosa is served and the waitress forgets to give sambhar and chutney ,as she gets engrossed with others,almost had wait for five minutes to get sambhar and chutney after the dosa was given.though the servers are polite ,they get confused and flabbergasted as customers increased, this cld definitely avoided, as customers too have other work to do.a bit more of cleanliness would be welcome.
This is one of the restaurants which gives you a proper nostalgic experience of the city. The dishes were well prepared & degree coffee is a must try. Pocket friendly & super sweet staff.
Best filter coffee till now ever had, with tht Creamy milk on topping it was wow factor.
Breakfast we tried Pongal and dosa it was good 👍.
Kindly suggest some brass nd dabar set Shop in Kumbakonam where we can order in online.
Breakfast was good and the authentic original degree coffee was excellent.
This is the place where they first Invented the Degree Coffee.This shop has been there since 1914, 108 years old restaurant. That's stunning.
There are few other restaurants with the same name. But the original one has the name Vilas in the end. It is located inside the way to the temple. Have attached the photos of its outside and from 200 meters away.
The Authentic Original Kumbakonam Degree coffee costs 35rs and it is worth it. Give it a try.
A decent place to have breakfast and lunch when you are in Kumbakonam.
We tried multiple places but this place was more than what we could have asked for in Kumbakonam. We tried multiple dishes and all turned out to be good and acceptable.
