The Story

Built for people who like to linger

Tucked into Thoraipakkam on OMR, Writer's Café pairs European pastry craft with specialty coffee and a gelato bar that changes by the week. The walls carry sketches of the writers we love; the tables are built for laptops, long conversations, and longer breakfasts.

We've grown quietly across Chennai — Egmore, Gopalapuram, VR Mall — keeping the same standard at every counter.

★★★★★

Writers cafe holds a special place in my heart. Have tried almost the whole menu over my past 3 years in Chennai — they've not disappointed even once. My favourites: skillet chicken, hot chocolate, sticky lemon chicken.

★★★★☆

The ambience is really impressive, funky artwork that gives the place a creative vibe. The Writer's hot chocolate stood out, rich texture with a slight bitterness that adds depth.

★★★★☆

Signature hot chocolate 5/5. Sticky chicken 4/5. Soup of the day 4/5. Staff were doing their best to keep up with the crowd, dedication shows.
