KAFFEEHAUS

Sneha Raj 23 months ago

Small cafe in the heart of the city mostly banking on Swiss influences.
Parking might be a hassle. Interiors are simple and hygienic.
Rösti and it's variants are on point. Sandwiches are wholesome and filling. Breakfast platter options are another go-to on their menu. Coffee is good. Would've liked a better, smoother hot chocolate however.
Staff were prompt.

We decided to have a quiet brunch this Easter and were not disappointed here at all. The bread was fresh and the sausages surprisingly tasty. Bacon and mushrooms on the side were good but the quantity served was too little. The ambience was informal and homely. The overall experience was good. We had french toast and their house special breakfast.

I order in more than I dine in at Kafeehaus, their bacon and cheese sandwich is really good. I do often have to remind them to please add more cheese time to time ;) when we do dine-in I would recommend trying the cordon bleu Schnitzel if you are in the mood for some ham and cheese along with the standard schnitzel. The ambience once upon a time was super unique and gave the Swiss vibe strongly with wallpaper and the utensils. But no effort has been taken since to make the place look better or upbeat. This restaurant is super tucked away and is not a place someone would stumble upon randomly. There are no dedicated parking spots per se, one must park on the main road and hope that you wouldn’t contribute towards a traffic block. For this place to do really well, they need super charged staff which is not the case currently, they need to really up their coffee game, the cappuccinos are terrible, over roasted coffee with milk, no real thick foam or latte art. I am glad I stick to espressos and do not pave way to get disappointed. I hope this place really picks up again. I have also ordered their loaded fries, now I don’t the proportion is really off when you order this as a takeout. The pizza’s follow authentic naming - one would then assume it’s super Italian by the description but to dismay only uses their available ingredients and is typical to any local pizza you would buy in Trivandrum, no effort spent on researching the Italian way of making dough, sourcing the best ingredients like fresh mozzarella, burrata, Parmigiano, basil, cherry tomatoes, and excellent olive oil.

It’s sad when people venture out thinking they are going to do something great but end up giving just ordinary food. Running an authentic restaurant is tough, if you are going to compromise down the line, don’t begin it in the first place.

Hope Kafeehaus will have a new story to tell - one that’s going to put them on the map again.
