Tea Villa Cafe Review - This Time Tea Overtakes Coffee

Chocolate loaded Waffle at Tea Villa Cafe

Tea Villa Cafe is one of the fastest growing chains in Mumbai city with more than 20 owned outlets and the expansion includes 500 Outlets Pan India and in the next 3 years they wish to have a worldwide presence. This outlet I visited is located at Hill Road, Bandra West and it serves a huge variety of high quality relaxing aromatic home made and international tea options along with desserts, beverages, Continental , Lebanese, Italian and Chinese cuisine.  My purpose of visit was a corporate casual meet and we did settle in well. The service is very good, staff is friendly, attentive and quick. The ambience of this place is a highlight with high and low rise seating areas, some out of the box interiors, casual dining experience, with soothing color combinations and catchy horoscope frames, just in some places the tables are way too close for conversations. They even have a seating space upstairs which is also good.

According to a survey by Statista in the year of 2017 , the market size of the coffee and tea industry was around 418 billion Indian rupees, up from about 251.6 billion Indian rupees in 2013. This tremendous growth clearly shows the growing popularity and demand of Cafe chains and outlets in India.  We have seen many coffee outlets in the city but this time Tea Villa had a clear vision , just as coffee cafes found their way into almost every neighbourhood , tea should and would reclaim its rightful place too. The nation with the 2^nd largest base of tea consumers deserved the right setting, buzz and popularity for Tea as well and with this vision they surely are achieving milestones.

Now coming to the food this is what I tried:

Chocolate Loaded Waffle Tea Villa Cafe

1. Chocolate loaded waffle: Rs 250

5*/5
Layered with Belgian dark, milk and white chocolate. Freshly made hot waffles coated with thick melting white and dark chocolate , along with choco chips served with dip of white and dark melting chocolate. This one is really delicious and a must try. Highly recommended!

2. Death by Chocolate Cake Rs 250

5*/5

This place is really amazing for desserts. Had one of the finest Death by chocolate cake at Tea Villa.

3. Holy Detox – Caffeine free Rs 225

5*/5

Really soothing and relaxing tea , it comes with a 1 minute sand timer which allows the tea to steep. A blend of various super herbs such as tulsi (holy basil), spearmint, rose hips, lemon myrtle, and linden blossoms. From clear, citrus flavours to fresh minty aromas and a lingering floral after taste a throughout clean and bright blend . Green herb notes of Holy Basil and lemon myrtle are balanced with the depth and tartness of rosehips, the refreshing qualities of spearmint and the flowery flavour of linden blossoms all in harmony.

4. Oreo Shake : Rs 225

4*/5

This tasted like a normal shake and it had more of milky flavour than Oreo. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t extraordinary.
