Best Breakfast places near Baga - Goa Diaries

Another Goan vacation and another set of my favourite restaurants must must go in Goa...
Without further ado here we go.
This time we craved breakfast places and as a result we landed on some favourite quintessential properties which were so mesmerising we never wanted to leave and the food was as usual mind blowing and completely comforting putting you in a vacation mood with instant food coma. Time just stood still. Be a witness.....

LILA CAFE
This place just took my heart away . So serene so peaceful completely relaxing. The food is good sumptuous and delicious. The whole setting is laid back. It's like enjoying the Goan life. I loved their fluffy juicy omelette with mushrooms ,, the extra generous helping of creamy mashed potatoes and caramelised onions. The croissants were super soft and melt in mouth the best I ever had. A strong dose of coffee be it hot or cold. Banana fritters were really delicious. The whole breakfast set the mood for the entire day . My favourite place now on must go whenever in Goa.

only if you could feel the fluffy, creamy cheesy omelette and melt in the mouth soft croissants through this picture.

Susegaado - Joy of living ... just being..

CAFE CHOCOLATTI

This quaint place is made up of dreams, straight out of wonderland, heaven for the sweet aficionados.. a cute bakery in a corner well stocked with yummy goodies, cakes cupcakes and all delectable stuff.. the chocolate cupcake we tried was yummy and decadent. The breakfast spread is amazing , we tried the English breakfast with sausages one of the best chicken sausages I have ever had . Juicy with right spices and they were so good, the omelette was cheesy fluffy soft and juicy all at the same time. The croissant was lovely and the coffee was every true coffee lovers dream come true, strong wake me up types. The pancakes came with butter and maple syrup , chocolate sauce and were sinful .The veg panini was equally awesome.. . awesome places for true breakfast lovers ., let the pictures do the talking .. I m drooling

Time stands still at this place.

MOCHA CALANGUTE

Nice cosy place, we went there for drinks and shisha and their game was on point for everything . Had a fabulous time. The shisha was good, the raspberry lemonade was awesome and huge and so was the hot chocolate. The mojito was decent. Over all a nice place to hang out though not at the beach. Wish I had tried some food but was completely full with our brunch at Lila's. Next time for sure I will be back with food review too.. Try out the place , laid back ambience on a busy street,, definitely a place to chill after a nice shopping session at Baga or cool off the afternoon heat 

Hope you guys had fun exploring these places with me.

Until we meet again

Stay Cheerful!!

Taking the legacy ahead - Irani Cafe.

More and more legendary restaurants and old world charming cafes are putting their shutters down and biting to dust succumbing to the over growing western influence and lifestyle. The charm of these cafes is unparalleled. It's disheartening and really sad as well as frustrating to see our rich legacy, old world just disappear and become obsolete. In our city we crave for the authentic tastes of the recipes we have grown up eating which are found rarely as the demand for western joints has increased. I really feel it's a miserable state.

Amidst this feeble picture a new Irani cafe opened up in Viman nagar Pune. 

Started by a young Iraani. It's so nice to see the younger generation taking the bastion and taking our rich culture, old world heritage and original flavours ahead with us in these changing times. 

Immediately decided to visit this place as it's just a stone throw distance for me. 

The cafe is located opposite Rosary school and has already started getting flogged by patrons. It is modelled on the lines of the old cafe and does make you feel at home in that era. 

A moderate sized two levelled place. It's kept simple and antiques and Iraani touches are seen everywhere. The service is polite, prompt and good. 

Coming to the food - 

Check the colours in the tea. Brewed perfectly and mixed. 

Iraani chai is really good, has all those colours when mixed in a glass, right in taste and they will personalise it to your preference. We had two glasses each. It was definitely refreshing. 

The classic cheese omelette was put to test which passed with flying colours. 

The omelette is smaller and thinner in size. Taste wise it was great. Perfectly juicy and cheese oozed out on every bite.

Next had to be Bun Mhaska (buttered bun). The bun was soft, bouncy and so sweet, layered with butter liberally. My tastebuds couldn't have enough with the bun mhaska dipped in the Iraani chai (heaven). We also tried kheema ghotala with fresh bread slices. The kheema was well done and spicy. 

Enjoyed it thoroughly. Had a glass of shekanjabeen to wash it out. The drink is so cool, made up of cucumber and mint leaves. Tad too sweet for me. However it really cooled my stomach and had a refreshing effect. 

The bill was around ₹ 240. This was our brunch and we were stuffed completely. Pocket friendly completely.

They also have a well stocked little bakery with kharis and all the paraphernalia.

These little treats ❤️❤️

 I will give it a 4.5 rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫Hoping and praying for more such cafes to come up and take our legacy and rich culture ahead. Rather keep it alive. We enjoyed completely. Must visit. 

Do not compare this joint with the legendary restaurants and cafe ( they are in the league of their own and nothing can beat or compare to their charm and rustic taste) however this little gem is promising and a quick fix breakfast all day place which opens right at 6 am. 

Must visit. 

 Happy tummies makes happy us ❤️❤️😉

Do let me know about more such other gems if you know any and keep watching this place for new ones. 

Until we meet again. 

Stay happy and cheerful.
