Aum Cafe

Best tea! Best omelette, deliciously buttery and great taste! Mushroom dosa was also too good! Everything was 10/10 including the view! Highly recommended! Great services and cute friendly staff as well!
P.s. Please get your washroom chores done before going to the AUM cafe. Extremely dirty washrooms 🥺

Everything we ordered was delicious from Indian food to western food.
The drinks were fresh and tasty.
The food was served quickly and the staff was kind and attentive.

We enjoyed the ambiance, very chill so we were able to chat with my friend and enjoy the sunny day.
The view from the cliffs right outside is very beautiful.

It is nice that it is an accessible cafe but at the same time not in such a crowded part of Varkala l, which keeps it peaceful.

The best restaurant i tried in varkala, they had vegan options (even its off season right now) and the food tasted amazing.
The food tasted very healthy and I feel like they really focus on healthy food and good ingredients.

Fantastic view. Good service. And it's on a less crowded part of the Varkala Cliffs. If you're into New Age music & Yoga, to go along with your coffee, this is a good choice for you. 👍
5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We have been to a number of places in Varkala and this is the best coffee we’ve found.
A peaceful spot with good, healthy food. It’s a perfect spot to work or relax. The views are incredible and staff are lovely. Cannot recommend enough! 👍🏼

Lovely vibe, cool temperature to chill, wonder the sea, enjoy the sunsets, study or reflect having the smells coming your way from the kitchen. A bleshing. The food and drinks are great. Tried take away energy balls and coffee for breakfast. You should try the omelette here too!

Our breakfast experience at the Aum cafe was delightful. The smoothie bowl was not only delicious but also a refreshing start to the day. The quality of the coffee was excellent, complementing the overall dining experience. We would highly recommend this spot for breakfast!

Has so many food options and taste is great. Aubergine sandwich and iced coconut latte were one of the best we tried.

Also tried beetroot spinach dosa which was great.

Cute and quiet cafe, away from the crowds with very good coffee, very tasty cakes, and a mix of western and Indian cuisine for breakfast, lunch and diner!

The peanut butter smoothie bowl is amazing, so is the banana cake and the protein balls!

We ordered Coffee, Green Omlette and Paratha. The food was very tasty.

I had an absolutely delightful experience at this place! The idli, parantha, and dosa were a true treat for my taste buds – a perfect blend of flavors and textures. What made the experience even more special was the incredibly sweet and polite staff who served me. Their attentive service truly enhanced my dining experience. The ambiance was also lovely, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that added to the overall enjoyment. A definite must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food and excellent service!

I love it. The coffee and food were gorgeous and delicious. Thanks for the fresh Almond milk you made at the moment and all the 🌱Vegan options🌱 you have in the menu is incredible. And the staff very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it 🩵

Heaven for coffee snobs, frankly the best coffee I’ve had in Asia. Let alone Varkala Cliff and India. It is a jewel of a cafe.

Ivan the barista, his business partners, and staff, are incredibly discerning and talented coffee connoisseurs, who would hold their own amongst the cafe cultures of Melbourne, Rome or New York.

One day he turned away us and other customers telling us he had run out of coffee until his evening delivery, because the coffee beans he had left were not fresh enough to his liking.

For those who require a milk alternative, his kitchen even makes its own almond milk.

I cannot praise Aum Cafe, its service and ambience enough.

The perfect flat white (called a latte here).

Coffee Temple also gets a very honorable mention in Varkala Cliff.

Definitely coming back to Aum’s when in Kerala. Great ambience to journal and calm your mind. Alvin makes the perfect coffee!

It’s a little walk from the busy North cliff but it’s definitely worth it! They make delicious vegan almond banana cake which honestly was one of the best I had in my life 😋 On top of that you can enjoy your favorite coffee with homemade almond milk. On the back there is even a Yoga shala. Could you ask for more?! Thank you 🙏🏼

Every visit to Varkala brings something new, but Aum Cafe was a standout find on my latest trip. The quality of the food is unparalleled, always fresh and flavourful. If you're a perpetual coffee consumer like me, you're in for a treat – their coffee is the best in town, no question. After discovering this charming, newly opened cafe, I haven't had the need to look elsewhere for my daily meals and coffee. It's a place you'll want to return to again and again!

Located on North cliff, this vegetarian cafe stands out as one of the finest. One can find many food options according to their taste buds. One must try their veg clear soup. It’s super tasty. And you will also get vegan coffee options if you are looking for one.

Wonderful place if you really need continental kind food. Don’t go by price, quality, test & quantity is awesome.

Run by the warmest and most welcoming people. Very good and healthy food at a rate much cheaper than the rest of Varkala.
