An incredible place with an alluring location, delicious food, flavorful and aromatic Darjeeling tea, well-behaved staff, and a serene panoramic view of the valley – it's hard to believe that a single place can have so many unique selling points. Even if you're not hungry, visiting this Tea Lounge cum Café is a must for the experience alone. We decided to take a brunch break here, and we absolutely loved the entire experience.
While the prices are premium, considering the location and quality, they are not unreasonable. We tried the chicken sandwiches, Hungarian sausages, and Darjeeling tea, and everything was delightful. However, it's worth noting that the service can be a bit slow at times.
This was another highlight of our recent Darjeeling trip. Much hyped up but for good reason which we realised only after visiting. The restaurant juts out to the valley and clouds literally float in. Standing in the balcony you get a 360° view of the valley below. The decor, atmosphere and food is Victorian. It might seem a bit expensive for the regular traveller but the experience is too good to give it a miss. Do visit.
The cafe is new age, but with a rustic old world charm. The views from the cafe are beautiful & perfect for sipping a cup of tea with a piece of their famous carrot cake. The selection of items in the menu is limited, but each item in the menu is awesome. Also before ordering your tea you should confer with their knowledgeable waiters to know the various stages of tea namely autumn flush, second flush, first flush & white tea.
If you are traveling to Darjeeling through Kurseong road, then don't forget to stop at this beautiful cafe & have a sip.
We visited here on the way from Sittong to Darjeeling.The atmosphere is really great and out of the world ( p.s. we had clouds coming in too) .Tea is awesome if your a tea lover and no availability of milk tea or coffee
Food is average but cakes are good
If your lucky enough you would get a seat else it's always a long queue ( average 1 hour).
Visit as it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
The location and the view from the lounge is beautiful, the taste of the food is great. The staffs are polite. They have a separate menu only on different types of Tea. A must visit place for breakfast and snacks where you can enjoy the food as well as the ambience.
This cafe is located on top of their tea estates and it has one of the best views. Conveniently located on the mountain highway, they have a separate area for parking which is great. The food menu had the general menu but also had a local menu on pre order which was nice. The pre order menu was not something that you get everywhere.. the tea selection was long which sometimes is confusing.. but staff helps to navigate the same.. we had a nice experience with tea, food and staff as well..
Best place ever.
Loved everything about this place.
The view. The food. The portions. The cordial staff. Cozy Seating. And the view is breathtaking. If you happen to cross it, please pay a visit.
The scenic beauty is mind-blowing for this cafe and for thisnreason, it has been added into the travel itenary of Kurseong. Just sit outside and look over the tea garden. It will surely be hell of a experience .
The foods taste moderate. But their collection of Darjeeling tea is very vivid. The cafe is owned by Goodpricke tea garden. So, a retail shop is also present inside the cafe. But the minimum quantity is 100gms and the Darjeeling tea prices starts from 8000rupees/kg.

A must visit for any tea connoisseur. Location, ambience, clientele, service, and beyond all - the wide variety of tea options!
We were a party of 9 - which allowed us more room to play around. We went for 6 different teas in 2-cup orders to make it like a mini tasting menu within our group.
The menu is mind bogglingly huge given it’s just about tea, and the staff is eager to help with options. They were out on several that we wanted to try, which somewhat helped in narrowing down our order.
We started with a white tea as it is the lightest. Followed by a first flush, then a second flush / autumnal, then a muscatel. We rounded off with flavored teas - the rose and finally the chamomile. Once you get to the stronger flavors it is difficult to enjoy the lighter ones, so we went up the strength / flavor gradient.
Every one of our orders were super impressive. The folks here have, predictably, mastered the art of perfectly balancing tea portions - and know exactly how much of the leaves to use for which variety. They can also do a smell test of the pot and tell you which tea is in it, which we leveraged multiple times as we kept forgetting which one was which.
The ambience is spectacular - one of the best views I’ve seen, giving the Kodak viewpoints a run for their fame. If the weather permits sit on the open-air deck and savor in the beauty of the Himalayan landscape when you slowly sink into a tea sipping nirvana.
My only complaint is that they do not take cards (including contactless) - it’s GPay or cash only, at least when we went.
They had a limited selection of baked goods that kept the kids in our group happy.
What a place oh my god. So beautiful a location, so beautiful interior, so beautifully show cased history of tea. This place is for everyone. Although a great place for a tea lover. There are so many varieties of tea that one have to visit several times to taste them all. Tea is available on kettle basis...small serves two people and large serves 4 people. Enjoy your tea with such natural beauty of the valley and mountains in front that one will not be compelled to get off unless sun sets. Anyone who plan to visits Darjeeling must visit here.
