We tried pala roast and brown bonda(don't know the exact name) which i had never tried before taste was delicious and I was personally addicted to them, they were served tea with a sprinkle of boost, quite impressed me i must recommend this shop to refresh in the morning, ambience was not good if you want to eat breakfast try to get parcel, i wish if i had another chance to visit Kanyakumari i would go to this shop This shop is located towards the beach road, best spot for tea and snacks lovers.

We went as a family. We tried tea, coffee, பழம் பொறி and உள்ளி வடை. The taste was good. Service was also good. The only negative thing is the shop is located in the corner and has tight space so the ambience is not that great. But you can go here for the hot drinks and snacks. Note: They will sprinkle boost in the tea. I personally loved it. But some might find it odd so request them not to. Enjoy your day in Kanyakumari.

Oldest hotel in Kanyakumari. Small but hygienic hotel. The staffs are friendly and maintain the hotel very nearly. Palam Pori (banana bhaji) boost spring coffee are very famous here. Homely preparation

Good tea shop... I had pazham pori.. (பழம் பொறி) which was so nice. There are many varieties of deep oil fried snacks available. Varieties of tea also available. Normally crowded... Tasty food stall. Recommended for the visit
