An intimate café for those who savour

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.

"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."
