Well, sometimes taking time out to read other reviews does shape your perception and your own expectation as to how a review should shape up .
Reading some of the other reviews made me feel the place has oscillating fortunes and mixed views , with its own share of accolades and criticism.
So I'd like to take this issue on a war footing and produce a review that's objective , and one that people can relate to with something to take away .
The ambience , has scathing comments about it being simple with no frills. So this comes from the expectation of having something lavish. For starters , the place is neat , and in order , with the tables being well spaced out. Nothing fancy , simple white theme as far as the tables and chairs are concerned. A slightly annoying pillar comes in between to shape the aesthetics but the management has done well to create it as a station or pit stop for crockery, plates and so on. It shouldn bother you , if you are there for the food , but nevertheless it's comfortable, neat and by and large should suffice for a cafe
As to the service , a couple of staff who one must say are largely active , could be even more receptive and on the look out for a few aggrieved or vexed customers!!!!! I found them to be a tad slow ,but courteous. Could be nice if they can sport a smile and be more warm and hospitable. The food came on time and so did the desserts. No complaints there really.
Let's get down to dissect the quality , spread , taste and pricing of the food. Again reviews widely vary , and big differences unearth. But then to each his own , and something that the management can work on in terms of some complaints.
The spread is decent with sandwiches ,burgers , pastas and salads, which come with options for both the plant eater and the carnivore . An array of desserts to add to this.
Getting specific, and the first mention must go to the " goeey chocolate" that's truly seductive. It seduces you with the long flowing nature , the chill or frozen touch to it , the beaker that houses it and the way it simply melts in your mouth. Not too sweet as well, it's easily my benchmark for anything "chocolate " as a dessert. My irrational excitement in writing about the dessert first must add testimony to it being the pick of it all ! It's pricey , that's an accusation but then good things do tend to be so. Besides, can rants and accusation make managements bring prices down?
We had the cheesy fries as starter and a panel tikka sandwich and vegetable burger as main course. Absolutely nothing to crib about. The patty that the burger had tasted perfect without an overdose of "aloo/potato" . The panel tikka sandwich is more like a club sandwich with three layers and generous stuffing of paneer ! Statutory warning to those on a diet or wanting to head downhill with their calories. The cheesy fries is a perfect accompaniment to the above too. The liquefied or molten cheese in yellow dripping from the sides , make it a no brainer for a fries fan.
This review shouldn't end with heaps of praises, and feel like a paid job!!!! (No,it's not). The tomatoes cut into tiny pieces and spread over the cheesy fries seems like an attempt to put the goodness to rest and dampen the spirits of the cheese and the hit and crisp fries. Now , please do something to stop this. And once you are done , you could contemplate as to the pricing which does seem a tad lofty with regard to the immediate competitors. A good experience and a happy tummy does shield all this , but a bad day can make you be at the receiving end of a bullets on the pricing front.
This place is really in the best location with cute ambience.
Their mac and cheese is to die for. ♥️ The best ever mac and cheese in town but a bit costly for the quantity provided.
Also tried ramen cutlets which was pretty decent.
Should try their desserts next time 😌
Soft, spongy layers of happiness
Signature dish of the shop
Red velvet pancake with
Maple syrup and cream 😋
Crisp cafe is one place I keep turning up very often simply to have their gooey chocolate. I don't know why it has taken so long for me to write a review on them. Visited them this time to have desserts but ended up ordering main dish too...
Ordered gooey chocolate, red velvet pancake and chilli beef with herbed rice.
The gooey chocolate and the red velvet pancakes as usual satiated our dessert cravings❣️
This was the first time I had chilli beef over here and it was delicious😍
The bill was around 800 for three dishes. Totally vfm

Take-away review:
Chicken Lasagne Sandwich : 5/5
Ample amounts of actual chicken lasagna between buttered bread slices.
Chicken Club Sandwich: 4/5
Tasted really good, but could have had a little more filling
Chocolate Truffle and Rich Chocolate pastries: 5/5
Perfectly creamy and rich.
Located at Nungambakkam, this is a place you can easily hit when you're hungry. Always my go-to place to treat my tummy. Tasty food and polite staff. Recommended 👍
Location : Nungambakkam
I visited this place for the first time .We ordered Chessy fries , panned tikka sandwich ,mac and Cheese and gobi manchurian noodle. Everything was yummy.
Their Mac and cheese was creamy and must try dish and the gobi manchurian noodle had a different taste.

Visited twice. Liked the food. It was served quick. Loved it at the heart of the city.
This cafe is located in Nungambakkam and serves the best comfort food. From their cheesy fries, spicy chicken wings and sandwiches, to their Fish N Chips and Shakes, all their dishes were so flavoursome and drool-worthy. It's a bit crowded during the evenings, so it's better to go there for lunch for some peace and quiet. The prices are reasonable for the large portions that they serve and it's quality. Definitely worth visiting !!
New name cakewalk
Service very good
Café excellent, I asked for a hot water pot separate
And a toasti
Aircond confortable
Calm at 1pm
Clean
A little expensive
Good ambience!
Liked the food taste!
But staffs needs more training to be attentive and polite! They need to talk to the customers to explain their menus or promote their products when the customer wasn’t sure what to buy there! Hope they will do it in future!!

I have been here for more than 30 times just for there lasagna. Wow what a taste. They have not compromised on their taste. Food taste good. Pastas are really superb. Pesto penne is my fav one. Gobi fried noodles quantity is great and taste awesome. Chilli cilantro is very spicy and must try if u love spicy food. Their burgers, sandwiches are good. Pomo mojito, goey chocolate shakes are good to try. Lighting and music is pleasant. Can spend time with loved one.
Cons:
- waiting time is high for food to reach you
- service has to be improved. As soon as u finish eating your last bite, they come and ask u whther u plan to order, if not they give bill immediately. They dont allow u to sit their if you dont order food which is bad because we may need to wait at restaurant for many reason.
- they switch off the acs at sharp 9 even if u have not finished eating. One time they closed the maingate and asked us to leave by side doors as it was nearing 10. Worst behaviour.
- sofa seats are all torn now and they are fixing with just a tape. Sofas are not changed for a long time. They should look at maintaining it well.
Though I have many cons, i still give 4star just for their food and taste. I keep visiting their eventhough i had bad customer experience.
The food as well as the atmosphere is best. I'm impressed by the way they treat their customers and the interior decor is mind blowing. I would highly recommend this place.
The building design is very eye catchy and ambience is pretty decent and simple.
And as far as the food is involved, had ordered gooey chocolate cake shake, coffee latte, cheesy fries and Nutella marshmallow sandwich.
Everything tasted good apart from the cheesy fries which I feel was a big let down for a cheese lover. The melted cheese neither felt nor tasted like cheese. The consistency was too thin. And the salsa on top didn't go that well with it.
Gooey chocolate cake shake was amazing. A small jar of chocolatey goodness.
Nutella and marshmallow sandwich is a must try! And who can go wrong with a cup of good hot coffee.
A elegant place with quite a few options to choose from. Friendly customer services. Absolutely Loved the taste and ambience. A must try
Enjoyed the food. Didn't enjoy the ambience much as it was ruined by a hand full of super noisy diners. Annoyed. Never the less, great place to dine and hangout.
