From time to time over the last 5 years I visit Market Cafe. Recently going back for lunch two of us shared a frittata and one of the salads from the interesting range on the menu. Both items were superb - because it was so hot outside we passed the time with a few lattes, and an ice-cream each. In all, a good, tasty lunch with fresh ingredients and cooking.
However, when the bill arrives, one forgets all the taxes and my word, don't they heave it up into 4 figures!! There's VAT and Service Charge plus a 10rupee donation (which you can refuse) to their selected Wildlife NGO. It seemed to me we had paid a lot of money for a few items.
Food and coffees were excellent, but yes, this Cafe is expensive.

This place used to be my choice for business meetings. I'd gather a few coworkers and meet over coffee with my laptop and make use of the free WiFi.
Sadly, the management buried that idea recently and opted for a Rs.200 cover charge for WiFi access.
Effectively that means I must order a whole meal to "earn" the right to use their WiFi. No more 60 rupee lattes or 90 rupee cold coffee.
Ridiculous. If I'm eating lunch I'm not going to open my business laptop up and get to work. The benefit of free WiFi is to being in the snackers and coffee drinkers in the slower morning or afternoon hours.
No more.
What advantage does this cool little cafe have over Barista now? None.

I accidently discovered Market Cafe with friends and loved it. It has great ambience and great food too. My favourite is the Goeey chocolate cake, sugar free apple crumble. The soups too are fresh and made according to the season. There is always something new on the menu. Love the concept of free wi-fi too...... only place where it is free. The terrace is amazing in the winters. Must visit for a delightful experience of food, service and ambience.
