Artisan pastries, world-class gelato and specialty coffee, served in a café built for those who linger.
Tucked inside OMR's Thoraipakkam, Writer's Café pairs artisan European pastries with
specialty coffee and world-class gelato, in a space adorned with literary portraits of the
greats.
We've been a favourite across Chennai for years, with outlets in Egmore, Gopalapuram and VR
Mall, all holding the same meticulous standard.


Fresh pastries, hot coffee and full meals, ordered through your favourite platform.
Our gelato counter is a theatre of colour, from the bright Bubblegum blue to the delicate Rose & Lychee. Every scoop is churned fresh, daily.
"Writers cafe holds a special place in my heart. Have tried almost the whole of their menu over my past 3 years in Chennai and they've not disappointed even a single time. My personal favourites are their skillet chicken, hot chocolate and sticky lemon chicken."
"The ambience at Writer's Café is really impressive, with funky artwork that gives the place a lively and creative vibe. The Writer's hot chocolate stood out with its rich texture and slight bitterness, a great depth of flavour."
"Signature hot chocolate 5/5. Sticky chicken 4/5. Soup of the day 4/5. The servers are trying their best to keep up with the crowd. There is room for improvement but the staff's dedication shines through."
