Having heard a lot about the 'Teapot Cafe' and being tea-lovers, this cafe had to be on our list of to-visit places.
While exploring the streets of Fort Kochi, we came across the lovely board that read 'Teapot'. We decided we would come back later in the evening to check out their wide variety of teas served:-)
Dusk arrived and so did the rains.
We couldn't let a few droplets keep us away from that steaming cup of 'Masala Chai' could we?
So, armed with borrowed umbrellas, we waddled through knee-deep water to reach our dream destination~ Teapot Cafe!
The cafe was full of tea lovers, enjoying theirs cups/mugs/teapots of delicious hot tea, while it steadily rained outside. We were led to a mezzanine, from where we could enjoy the view of teapots in various sizes hanging on hooks.
The cafe has teapots, kettles and tea accessories collected by the owner displayed beautifully.
Framed jute bags used for packing tea leaves.
Long leaf tea, one of the many served in the cafe:-)
BTW, We had a pot of masala chai with samosas and grilled sandwiches...
The first thing that struck us when we entered the streets of Fort Cochin or Fort Kochi is the architectural style~ An interesting blend of British, Portuguese & Dutch style.
An eclectic blend of art culture, quaint theme-cafes', colonial homestays, churches, designer stores, antique shops and boutique hotels...
We stayed at a heritage colonial hotel called The Old Courtyard, that came highly recommended for it's food as well as the proximity to the streets of Fort Cochin.(More on that in Rang Decor soon:-)
Walking on the streets, gazing at the various signboards & architectural style was itself a refreshing activity.
I loved the names of the various streets...
Beautiful boards on the walls of Malabar House a boutique hotel.
Many cafes' catering to various tastes, line these streets.
Loved the liberal use of vibrant colours on the walls of various homes.
If you have eaten in all the restaurants and cafes' and want to try something new, join the cooking classes:-)
Dal Roti - Desi Khana was amazing. Simple decor. Great food.
Idiom Booksellers~ A great little book store, where you can sell your old books and buy new ones:-)
Hope you enjoyed the little tour of the streets of Fort Cochin as seen through my eyes.
Stay tuned. Will be posting about two very interesting cafe's that had us going back for more:-)
