I don't know why it's not mentioned in the list of top cafes in Pondi. It is one of the best cafes I have ever visited. It's a small little cute cafe, food tastes amazing. Their Chocolate Croissant is a must must try.

Must Try!!! Hi. We visited this cafe for Coffee. We ordered Biscoff coffee and Hazelnut coffee with some almond and chocolate cookies. Overall ambience 5/5 Staff Service 5/5 Cost : Moderately Expensive 4/5 Taste:5/5

Giving 5 stars because I can’t give more that that. The food here was amazing. We went to this cafe thinking how did we miss this place and it was worth it. Caramel cappuccino was delightful and my god the chicken in the tandoori sandwich croissant was amazingly well made. Only regret was that we did not have more of it. Definite recommendation to cafe hoppers !! Street parking only.

The food is good here. It's has flavours, but not spicy. Paneer sandwich, croissant, Pasta we tried, and the only left out items are plates 😜. Price is also affordable. Has very good atmosphere, and the music 🤗 handpicked!! Coffee was Just wow. Just enough sweet, and perfect balance.

Small cute nice cafe ! Tasty food. Fair price! Pasta was amazing!

It's a small cafe in white town located near the main road. The colour theme is teal and white. We had Italian cappuccino and coffee latte, and they were served hot. One can try out if looking for a small cozy cafe.

Quaint, cosy, small space tucked away at the end of Mission Street. Walked in by chance and was so glad I did. Their croissant beg sandwich was yummilicious, and their desserts are amazing too! Certainly recommending for good food.

Must visit places in Pondicherry .. Must try hot chocolate and heaven on earth Brownie and devil's chocolate is a mist try dish too ... Loved the hot chocolate ...so delicious

Very polite staff. Loved everything I tried. Dark chocolate brownie was soo good

Pros : rich in chocolates and sweets ,best hot chocolate in the town Cons: small area for dine-in,limited space,no proper parking area

A great place to hangout , great food and the best coffee.

Located a little off White Town. Its a very tiny cafe, around 4-5tables & high chairs. They’ve tried to add a nice touch to the cafe, with quotes & coffee mugs. When u sit on the high chairs the AC is literally on ur face. We had d Cappuccino & Chocolate Croissant. Loved both. Overall nice experience.

Cute little cafe. Very nice minimal decor and a decent menu. Coffee and hot chocolate was really good. Desserts are from Zuka next door and were good as well.

Beautiful coffee place with amazing staff. They play soothing music 🎼

So what to say, The place is located in mission Street next to Zuka, It's a bit small but it's cozy, as the name mention you can get various coffees there which are really tasty, But you can get cakes, sandwiches and other snacks items. If you come to pondy for visit, definately you have to go in. Price is on the little higher side but for a one time trial or regular morning coffee, i guess we can make exceptions ^^'

Good coffee place with good ambience. Courteous person, Shiva

Plain euphoria !!! Love the hot chocolate!!! Cute latte art and perfectly filling chicken salad

Beautiful places with minimal decors. The walls were adorned with signatures of stars. The chocolate croissant is top notch. The hot chocolate was pretty decent. Totally a cozy cafe with beautiful teal ambience.

Based on the Zomato rating, we went to this place and everything was going good untill they served *steaming hot* Icey chilled cold coffee. Yes you read it right, as per them Icey Cappuccino is something which is served as hot Cappuccino with Ice cream. Nope that's not right, they forgot to make it as Cold coffee and when we told them that we ordered Cold coffee they just put Ice cream in it. I am giving 3 ratings for the things i had minus the *Steaming hot Icey cold coffee*.

A must must must visit cafe when in Pondi .. Chic decor, great food, decent price .. We had tuna sandwich, ole fried chicken sandwich, hot chocolate, cold coffee and chicken pepperitos and all of this was top class in taste and presentation of dishes was also tempting ..

They definitely make the best coffees in town.... A must try cafe when in pondy..... I've never tasted such great coffee before.... Please do visit

Read on Zomato for cold coffee, however only plain Cold coffee was available. The tag line of the cafe, " we sell 2ne best coffee" , yes, I make better cold coffee at home.<br/><br/>Plain Cold coffee taste : 2/5<br/>Sandwich : 4/5<br/>Pastry : 2.5/5<br/>Service : 3/5<br/><br/>Overall : 3/5

The best cold coffee I have ever had paired with the most delicious sandwiches you could ever eat. This lesser known cafe is a treasure among the various cafes in Pondy, with a legend that AR Rahman was so mesmerised with the experience he opened a franchise in his institute in Chennai!

This is a great little place if you are looking for a cozy corner in town that serves up some fantastic coffee and peaceful ambience to sit up with good book. The best thing about this place is the next door bakery called Zuka, by the same owner. This gives one a chance to order anything from the bakery and get it at the cafe or vice versa. The coffee is served along with a small piece of chocolate which is delicious. We ordered the cappuccino and a pastry called Masterchef, recommended by the server. We can vouch for the recommendation wholeheartedly and say we have never tasted anything like this before. We also ordered the cold coffee which again was perfect. All in all a definite place to check out and cozy around a book.

Ambience - 4.5/5  Food - 5/5 Service - 4/5 VFM - 3.5/5 Parking - No<br/>A warm and quaint little cafe tucked in the by-lanes of Pondicherry. Their claim to fame is that they make the second best coffee in the world. And the best - the one made at home, they reply with a straight face!They serve a range of regular and exotic brews, and small bites. We went for a quick cup of Spanish Cortado. The presentation was good and the brew tasted awesome.Must try their other stuff too.

Best coffee. Must visit in town. Tried hot chocolate and cold coffee and it was one of the best coffee i have ever had. Wish it had a branch in chennai too. A must visit without any second thoughts

Great coffee and Brazilian chocolate treat - DELICIOUS!!!<br/><br/>Cafe Ole makes the 2nd best coffee in town. We asked who makes the 1st? They humbly replied "every pondicherry household makes the 1st best coffee" . <br/><br/>Friendly staff and great place to have coffee. They allow you to order chocolate from the other next door store called Zuka because it's same owner. Their best one - the Brazilian Chocolate Treat (creamy crumbly chocolate cake with ice cream) it's hot and cold, dark and dense - it is amazingly insane! <br/><br/>So you can have chocolate and coffee at Cafe Ole. How nice of them. Beautiful flavors! Highly recommend :)

A very cute little cafe located near white town. It can be a little difficult to locate as is situated in an ally. They have some of the best coffees in Pondicherry. I also had a chicken limetta sandwich and it was to die for. The staff is really polite and courteous. One of the tiny jewels in the crown of cafes in Pondicherry.

One of the best grilled sandwiches I ever tried. This place is small cosy and lovely smell of coffee. It is adjacent to Zuka . The staff were good and humble. They have two seaters and seats around the bar like table.

Cafe ole !! I always hunt cafe ole for pepperitos<br/>Only available here with both veg and non veg. Chicken is so yummy! Its like shots and u can just eat . They also have cake shakes with are so yummy and chocolatey! Chocolate sandwich 🥪👌🏽 A must try place

Are you a Chocolate Lover? Do you have Chocolate cravings? Then this is the best place to visit in pondicherry.. They have this amazing variety of chocolate pastries. Must try!!

The cafe is in collaboration with the next door, renowned bakery Zuka, which makes a variety of delectable pastries. The ambience is how a typical cafe is supposed to be: small, cushy, and slick with decorations, done probably by a coffee afficionado.<br/><br/>So if you're in the neighborhood be sure to stop by for a quick, toothsome bite.<br/> We tried the following things:<br/><br/>1)Red Velvet Cheesecake<br/> : A creamy delight by Zuka, with a glistening cheesecake standing on a thin layer of red velvet cake. The frosting was fresh, and moderately sweet, sublimely sprinkled with red velvet on the sides. What makes it special is that it beautifully combines two of the most loved desserts of all time: the red velvet cake and the cheesecake.<br/><br/>2) Spanish Cortado<br/> : The server had to warn us about the intense flavour of the coffee first, and it sure was strong. So much so, that the tiny piece of dark chocolate accompanying it tasted sweet in comparison. If you prefer latte over cappuccino, we'd suggest you to skip this one. But if you like a strong, flavourful cup of coffee, this one will be right up your alley.<br/><br/>3) Tipsy Turvy Irish Cold Coffee : A full-bodied Irish Cold Coffee with a dash of Vanilla ice cream, and liqueur essence.<br/> It tasted really good. The concoction of vanilla, liqueur, coffee, and chocolate sauce gave it a zingy touch.<br/><br/>4) Mushroom Pepperitos<br/> : The tortilla-like cups looked crunchy, but they were so soggy and flavourless that we could barely eat them. The only good thing were the mushrooms which were properly cooked and the sauce accompanied them well. The seasoning looked inviting but then again it had too much pepper making the entire dish unappetising. <br/><br/>Must try: Red Velvet Cheesecake, Tipsy Turvy Irish Cold Coffee<br/><br/>Ambience: 3.5/5<br/><br/>Staff: 3.5/5<br/><br/>Food: 3.5/5<br/><br/>Value for money: 3.5/5

4.2<br/>Egg Sandwich was good filled . Staff is excellent.cold coffee is worth a try. I must say that whatever is in the menu will be at its best.<br/>Good description of food items provided.

Ended the trip to Pondicherry with a cold coffee, sandwich and a cheesecake from this place. Affordably priced, this cafe had the BEST cold coffee I have had till date. Ordered one Spicy mushroom and egg sandwich, tasted really good, but their mexican chicken and cheese sandwich (not in picture) is a winner. Ended it with a cheesecake, which unlike my preferred baked cheesecake was softer. But the cheese taste lingers in your mouth. 5 stars all for the chocolate flavoured cold coffee though! :)

It's a neat little coffee shop tucked away in the city center close to promenade. While it was small, we were able to get parking right opposite which made it convenient.<br/><br/>Service was really impressive with courteous staff who engaged in a pleasant conversation and helped. Chocolate cake with ice cream was tasty and so was the cold coffee.<br/><br/>Like everything else in Pondy, you won't find anything extraordinary here but this is a good place to take a break from your walk and have a cup of coffee.

Nice cafe with an excellent cup of hot chocolate on the menu and some nice coffee too but the sandwiches need a lot of improvement. In fact the sandwiches need to go back to what they were a couple of years back. The ambience is very pleasant.

It is a part of zuka......little place for delicious desserts....we ordered Charles chocolate milkshake.....it was Soo yummm.....must try<br/>Belgian chocolate treat.......it has a combination of vanilla, Chocolate and strawberries...... totally delightful

A rather small place but has a great variety of sandwiches on its menu. Chocolate, chicken or paneer and many more options are present in sandwiches. I opted for a chicken sandwich with a glass of chocolate frappe. They also have great toasties ,desserts and beverages in their menu. There is also a chocolate lounge beside this place where you can go for desserts.

This is a amazing place to visit for a quick bite. The ambiance, food everything is so nice over here.  Its a small place but definite try if you are in pondicherry.

A small cafe located next to zuka and subway.<br/>Ordered Mexican chicken sandwich and chocolate milkshake <br/>Dark knight milkshake was awesome !<br/>It was so chocolaty!!!!<br/>The sandwich was good <br/>The bread was crunchy yet the sandwich was a bit bland for my liking <br/>Worth the money! Will visit soon

My favorite place in Pondicherry... This cozy little café filled with aroma of coffee can be a heaven for coffee lovers.... The staff is very friendly... The warm dark chocolate brownie they provide is pure bliss...

Omg I must say this place is amazing! <br/><br/>We tried their Irish cold coffee and it was so good. I’m absolutely in love with it. Nice strong flavours of rum and coffee. Cappuccino was also great. <br/>For sandwich we hand chicken Mexican sandwich, Mediterranean fish sandwich and tangy chicken sandwich all very superb. When in pondi it’s a must try

We recently visited this place for dinner. We tried out the Desi Paneer Sandwich, Paneer Fritterito Sandwich, Chicken fungi sandwich and the tandoori chicken sandwich. All the sandwiches are fairly decent, well made and they did not go overboard with the sauces.<br/>We also tried out the Mysore Maharaja coffee which was fairly okay.<br/>A let down here was that they did not have any cold drinks for us to order. So we got it from the subway next door. This is a small joint so you should not expect exceptionally fast service.<br/>They call themselves the second best at what they do. Their justification, everyone calls themselves the best so we will call ourselves second best.

Lovely little cafe in White Town. Wonderful sandwiches and coffees. Icing on the cake was the edible chocolate spoon that came with the hot chocolate!

We ordered 3 sandwiches, 2 veg and 1 chicken. They were all VERY blah, nothing special. It's like something you'd find at the corner of every street. I'm not sure why this has a 4.1 avg rating. Came in with a lot of expectations, very disappointed.

Visited for coffee...had a good time out here. Had capucciono and chicken sandwich. Service was good. Ambience ok.place is small if a big group comes. They serve a chocolate along with coffee which is yum.

The ambience is just perfect for a couple to go and have a lovely candlelit dinner ! Food portions are small but the preparations are too good. Loved the Grilled fish and prawns starters. Limited menu options but quality of food is fabulous. Enjoyed the chicken meatballs and the mock tails too.

Cafe ole and zuka were becoming my favourite place to hangout i really fall in love with their egg sandwich its scrumbled and perfectly cookedand dumped in the butter fried bread is mouth watering one

Visited on a Sunday afternoon.  Place was quite, and the guy serving us was also least interested. But we had heard place has good hot chocolate, hence the stars!<br/><br/>It was delectable, took me like minutes to finish and the accompaniments -  all made up of chocolate! nice! I wish it came in more quantity though!

Oh my god! Try their The Dark Knight Milkshake. It will be just wow. Cafe ole is a cafe by Zuka just next to it. And it is also a small place like Zuka serving milkshakes and coffees. But please don't get any take aways from them. Coz the milkshake I mentioned above costs around 160 and if you ask for take away the cup size will be a tea cup size. Warning!

To have a place like this in Pondicherry.. Amazing is the only word you can associate this place with. A small place with 4 or 5 tables and a good simple ambiance.<br/><br/>The Drink that is there is USP and is absolutely stunning is Hot chocolate. Served in a small cup with some crushes chocolate chips to add to it. and a chocolate spoon to stir. The spoon is made of chocolate the container to hold the chips is made of chocolate and you have to add everything to the hot chocolate to get its sweetness. The spoon dissolves with the drink and trust me every chocolate lover this is the drink you should have.<br/>We had sandwiches which were also good. (Chicken Pepperito Limetta Chicken Sandwich and Ole Fried chicken sandwich.) All the sandwiches had there own taste and was excellent. <br/><br/>Charlies Chocolate Milkshake is something if you want to have a cold drink. Rich thick chocolate shake and you can easily have another one. <br/><br/>Sauteed chicken Pepperitos- I remember this was chicken nachos kind of a product which was also very tasty.<br/>And not to forget the Mysore Maharaja Coffee. A regular strong coffee.<br/><br/>Overall a must go place when you are in pondicherry

Totally loved the food, filling sandwiches with ample filling and the right textured crust, tasty and crunchy tostadas!and the music was nostalgic ❤️ <br/>Prompt service!

Cute café with nice ambience.. both the chicken sandwich and chocolate sandwich were so tasty. We ordered a mushroom quick bite and it turned out to be amazing as well. New favorite place

amazing cafe. courteous staff. mindboggling coffee. had mysore maharaja coffee which was out of the world! Thoroughly enjoyed the place... thanks

Best cold coffee in pondy !!!!!<br/>Small cosy and cute place .... 😊<br/>We ordered corn sandwich, which was not in the menu but the owner still made it for us , and it was very tasty :-) thanks 😊<br/>

Fresh, Unique and Delicious! <br/><br/>A must visit place for the awesome sandwiches and cake shakes! <br/><br/>Tried only the veg options, the caramel cakeshake and the the corn sandwich was too good to have just one. <br/><br/>P.S. We got couple of sandwiches packed for our return journey to Blore. <br/> <br/><br/>

Not quite he beat place for mexican dishes. But their sandwiches were brilliant. Their tostadas with mushrooms would've been way better without the tomato Ketchup. But their sandwiches were excellent.

Just went here to snack .<br/>Had chicken pepperitos .<br/>Really good presentation of food.<br/>It was yum too...<br/>Must visit .its a sister brand of cafe zuka .<br/>U can try their coffees as well.

This cafe is located on mission street and is very easy to locate. <br/><br/>The ambience is nice and relaxing had a good time here with my friends.<br/><br/>Food on the menu was refreshing and tasty. Had ordered couple of items.<br/>Will highly recommend the initial two dishes<br/><br/>Pepper cream and tangy Veg sandwich <br/>The Dark Knight milkshake<br/>Caffe Frio<br/>Walnut Brownie and <br/>Spicy cream of Mushroom sandwich.<br/><br/>Cafe staff were very quick in service.

Nice cafe. Was there at Cafe Zuka for desserts, so sat at Ole for a quick bite as they are next door. The paneer fritterito sandwhich was nice. The cafe was empty, we were the only customers as such. Seemed like it was an operational extension or kitchen for cafe Zuka.

Small place with the best food served. <br/>Chocolate and pastries at its best. <br/>Same as ZUKA<br/>ENJOYED THE FOOD <br/>Best place to enjoy with friends<br/>Happy food and happy life. <br/>Atmosphere at its best!

One of those eateries that i had to check away, in my bucket list and it surely didn't disappoint. We ordered sandwiches and to our delight they definitely exceeded our expectations. They were perfectly grilled with perfect amount of stuffing and unique sides, which included spoonful of noodles and chips. Clearly, best sandwich I've had so far!

Terrible in terms of service. One sandwich took so long. Staff seem very rude. Wouldn't recommend this cafe. There's no table for 5. So we moved to 2 chairs to our table and they were rude and told us we can't do it. Highly disappointed.

Very cordial and warm people attend you. The food is delicious and has great value for money. The ambience is peaceful and coffee especially is very good.Prachi Jha

Small and beautiful place located in a street, we were looking for breakfast spot and zomato helped us to come cafe ole.<br/>Paneer fritterito,tangy paneer, chicken sandwiches,milk shakes etc were among we ordered. sandwiches were enough of two kind though we ordered too many barely finished.<br/>No doubt food was amazing plus staff was very courteous.

My first post on Zomato. <br/><br/>Was craving for coffee when stumbled across this small quaint joint in Pondicherry-"Café Olé"<br/>On to my 3rd cup in the last two days.😀<br/>They have this qoute at the entrance, "We at Café Olé make the 2nd best coffee in town" <br/>I totally second that. So, if you are looking for a cup of freshness, this is the place to be.<br/><br/>We did try the "egg cheese sandwich" too, which I feel needs lot of work.<br/><br/>So if it's coffee you want, this is a must visit.😀<br/>Will surely drop in for my next coffee craving when in Pondy.<br/><br/><br/>

Very nice, staff very nice, food the best in town for good price and yeah second best coffee. Loved the experience over here.......<br/>Would love to visit again and again

So quick review of stuff we ordered:<br/><br/>1. Spicy cream of mushroom sandwich- much recommended. The mushrooms were fresh and this was by far one of the best sandwiches ever. <br/><br/>2. Pepper Cream and Tangy Veg Sandwich- a notch below sl.1. But again good stuff.<br/><br/>3. Cappuccino Milkshake: Thick, Milky... Lovely! Just go for it.<br/><br/>Portions- each sandwich is appetising and the portions are good enough for two. <br/><br/>Accompaniments- Served with a little bit of spaghetti and nachos. <br/><br/>A 'must go' place while at Pondicherry.<br/>

With three people, tried a total of 6 things(drinks and sandwiches) and the cookies and all were quite good. The staff(saw only 2) was courteous and helpful but it took quite a bit of time to get the things at the serving area. Space is decent enough to quickly have your snacks and get going.

Was looking out for some healthy sandwiches..... Tried the smoked tofu and spinach sandwich and the egg n mushroom sandwich.....both were awesome.... best part it's served in whole wheat bread......so a good tasty and healthy food restaurant.....loved it...😊

Ole fried chicken sandwich & Mexican cheese sandwich was awesome....<br/>The best coffeeee Americano...<br/>& amazing service..... Fried chicken tostadas was ok.. Best place for sandwich nd coffee..

Absolutely awful place . The person there said it would take 20 minutes for food to be served. he then later said the restaurant is closing even though while entering we explicitly asked whether it was open or not. He then proceeded to ask us to leave

In a road trip to Pondicherry from Kochi was craving for a good cup of coffee. Zomato helped me to locate this place. Avery small place and cafe ola and Zuka are almost the same ye difference being cafe ole has some eatables as well however Zuka is limited to cofee, cake and chocolate. Ordered cafe mocha and it was served with a small piece of dark chocolate. The coffee was indeed great , and the dark chocolate was really great so ordered100 GMs more as dark chocolate being one of my weakness. Ordered also a walnut and date cake which was top notch . A small place but to be visited by people while in Pondi who are chocolate and coffee lovers.

After a day of looking for a decent cup of coffee in Pondicherry this place was heaven on earth. With a delicious coffee and a lovely ambience. The sandwiches that were ordered were also yummilicious. A must visit while in Pondicherry. What I found extremely cute and a warm gesture were the chocolates my cousins got with the américanos they ordered.

This is my goto place for coffee and they have never disappointed me. The Zuka and Cafe Ole are part of the same franchise and locating the place shouldn’t be tough. I have been here a couple of times and my regular order is their coffee. Apart from the beverages, I have their Mixed Vegetable Tostadas and Mediterranean Mushroom Sandwich. The Tostadas was okay but the sandwich was yum. Also, the sandwich is served with Spaghetti and Pepper flavored Triangles i.e., similar to nachos. <br/><br/>And coming to their beverages, I enjoy the hot beverages over the cold. But among the cold, I liked the Black Forest Cake Shake and Caffe Frio. And my most favorite among their coffee collections are Spanish Cornado, Cafe Latte, and Cafe Mocha Chocolate. They are just too good. When that strong aroma of the coffee hits you, nothing else just doesn’t matter. The ambiance is good but the service can be faster. The taste and quality of the food is one thing that makes me go back here again and again. In terms of price, it wouldn’t cost more than Rs.400 INR for a light snack and coffee for two people. Also, the prices have increased after GST, earlier the food was inclusive of tax but now they have kept the food price the same and in addition charge, 18% GST which I personally feel isn’t fair.

the food is delicious. try limetta sandwich and the irish cold coffee. <br/>friendly staff. fast service. great ambience. value for money. <br/>serves shakes too.

Food was okayish. Not that great. Not bad either. Not really restauranty.. Felt like home made sandwiches!! The tostadas tasted weird to say the least. Didn't stay for dessert 😐

Loved the food ! Quality and taste for excellent. One of the best places I tried in Pondicherry and will always visit in the future as well.

Best coffee in town, though they mention themselves as second best, I don't see a reason.<br/>Sandwiches are too good.<br/>Location is perfect, makes an dazzling combination with ZUKA Chocolate Cafe .

They say they serve the 2nd best coffee in town, I say why not the 1st?! <br/>There's this aroma of coffee when you enter the cafe. There was prompt service. We as a group of four members couldn't sit on the same table comfortably(only drawback) and Ambience was great. About the food..<br/>We ordered a Maharajah coffee which was Okaiyish. Next the Brazilian chocolate which was good and the Dark chocolate sizzler was Amazingly awesome. 😍 This would be my recommendation for anyone stopping here. Overall a good place to try out some good food.

The cold coffee here is mind blowing. One of the best I've had. Nice leaf art made with chocolate syrup on the sides of the transparent cup and a flower on top. Also had a limetta chicken sandwich and it was quite filling and tasty. Prices little on the higher side but good quality stuff. Must visit place in Pondy for the coffee. Downside is the place is tiny and packed in rush hours.<br/>

A great outlet to quench your cold coffee and coffee ice-cream cravings in town, the location is really convenient. The Café Frío is my personal favourite. But I find the items a little too pricy added with the GST.

Rich enriched coco with first class smell and taste <br/>Mushroom cheese Sandwich baked cripsy enough ...<br/> Good ambience ❤️ with many great men photographs hanged on walls !!! Especially Bharathiyar 😇<br/>

Ordered a Desi Paneer Sandwich and a Chocolate Brownie Shake. The sandwich was pretty average and a bit overcooked. A good sauce along side might have made it better. The Chocolate Brownie Shake on the other hand was pretty good. I liked the creativity with the chocolate sauce there. It's a small cafe with seating capacity of max 4 per table. Avoid going here if you are in large groups.

Another restaurant from same roof, cafe ole is an branch of zuka. In this place they serve something apart from chocolates. They have great options of coffee's and snacks. The reputation is carried out.

This place is a bit overpriced and the options are limited. But you need to come here if you're a writer with the love of coffee. And the chocolate yay. <br/>I personally love this place. But it's not for everyone. You need to come here for the complete pondi experience. <br/>Food - 8 <br/>Ambience - 8

One of the favourite places to drop by breakfast or snacks anytime.<br/>They serve you mouthwatering sandwiches and shakes.<br/>Don't forget to try their newly added pepperitos. I found them delicious. <br/>Only thing that lacks is the no. of seating in the cafe but then, they don't have much space around to expand.

Definitely worth trying their deserts. I liked the dark chocolate milkshake and couple of deserts from the next door cafe Zuka. Give it a shot , they're quite pocket friendly as well.

Been here last month.<br/>Extremely good place to have some leisure time with your partner. Quite peaceful location, good range of coffees, along with some tasty lip smacking snacks.<br/><br/>

A very highly rated café in Pondicherry and we went with the flow. The lady was particularly excited as she researched it out. It took a little while to locate the place as the autowallahs were not particularly knowledgeable (or they wanted you to go places of their choice!!). But the lady reacted nothing less than Vasco Da Gama once we were inside!!<br/><br/>The menu here is a little sea food and so the lady was disappointed. She stuck to a Corn & Spinach Sandwich with coffee. I ended up with a Mediterranean Tuna Sandwich with Americano (Ice cappuccino!). The sandwiches were well grilled and the portions were fulfilling. The orders are placed over the counter but they know what they are serving. Prices are also reasonable and doesn’t burn a big hole.<br/><br/>Pondicherry’s cafes are more tilted towards the French way of seeing food. So better do your homework before ending up at a place. But do try this one for its simplistic approach and taste.

A small shop with limited seats provides you amazing desserts.Nice ambience and service is pretty good.Brownie with ice and Brazilian choco lash are the must tries over here.

In a mood for some good coffee? Then Cafe Ole' is the place to be! We had the Caffe' mocha and hot chocolate and both were great. Even though we wanted to try out some of their desserts too, time wasn't on our side that day. It has great ambience which you would realize, as soon as you walk right in. The service too is top notch. The decor instantly captures your mind. Price isn't much here either and feels quite VFM for what they are offering. Overall, this place surely won't disappoint the coffee lover in you!

I was craving for a dessert which made me go to Cafe Ole and I must say it was a right decision. <br/><br/>This place is a heaven for coffee lovers. They say that they serve the 2nd best coffee after a homemade coffee. And this stands true!<br/><br/>We ordered for a chocolate croissant which was delectable. A Brazilian chocolate treat which was sumptuous. My day was made after having this piece of heaven. We also ordered their classic cappuccino and Mysore coffee something which was very similar to having an authentic filter coffee. <br/><br/>All in all, this place is a must-visit!

Ambiance :3.5 ( turn on place for coffee lovers ) <br/>Food :good <br/>Service :3 <br/>Price :ok <br/><br/>Being a cake fan I visited zuka regularly but not cafe ole . But being a fan of srinath I visited the place .Here u can order the cakes from zuka and have a shake from cafe ole . It's good go try it ....

"We serve the 2nd best coffee" it's written on the walls, when you ask them about it, they would say "It's the mom's/home made coffee which is best, second is ours!" Spanish Cortado! 2 words are enough! Such an amazing coffee! One of the best I have had till date.. These people know what coffee lovers want and serve just the same.. They also serve chocolate sandwiches which are brilliant!

Ambience - Little cozy place, but clean and decent one.<br/><br/>Service - Good. Came here on a weekday, so I can't comment on the type of service they provide while there is a swarming crowd. <br/><br/>Food - I found it overhyped. Pinches your pocket. Toastadas didn't taste as much great as it sounds. Tried chicken sandwich, tasted average. I am not a fan of coffee- yet I tried, and again, it was not up to my expectations.<br/><br/>

A great place for sandwiches. Although its a small place to sit, but the food served is great. We tried Pepper Cream & Tangy Vegetable sandwich and The 80's style sandwich. Both were amazing and filling too. We also Ordered a Black Forest cake and shake. I'm not a chocolate lover, but I must admit I loved this shake. Definitely a must try if you are there. The Service was also quite quick.

For my final breakfast in Puducherry before departure,I had plans to visit Baker Street.But the plan couldn't materialize due to the overcrowded place and since almost all their vegetarian items seemed to have been sold off for the time being.Without wasting any further time,I decided to skip the place and give a Cafe Ole which was nearby a visit.<br/> The place that had just seemingly opened up was pretty crowded and I was lucky to get a seat back there.Started off with two of their sandwiches viz. Paneer Fritterito and Tex Mex Tostado Sandwich both of which were accompanied by pretty stingy yet amazing accompaniments of pasta noodles and Nacho chips.Also had a Cafe Frio to wash down the after taste of the sandwiches.Everything was a hit,specially the Paneer Fritterito!<br/> What went wrong was the service.They took a painfully long 20 minutes to serve the Cafe Frio,just a opulent variant of your cold coffee!I mean they kind of had exhausted their kitchen resources since I could see some running around in situ.But,all this is pretty much unforgivable if you run a reputed cafe like this?<br/> The prices are somwhere between exorbitant and cheap,pretty much subjective!I hope they can put in some improvements on the service count since they do have a great spread acrosd for the patrons! Overall,Cafe Ole does manage to salvage its name by the food and messes up on the service part. :)

The one place for coffee-lovers. They claim they're the second best coffee servers and yet I would definitely like to differ in opinion. It's the best place for having some caffeine. Me and my wife Shweta, we both love this little sinful indulgence of ours, where we try out different flavours and fancy the different preparations of coffee from around the world. The whole place smells of roasted coffee beans and the best thing about this station is that they serve you in a way that resembles an artistic performance rather than simple catering. I'd love to spend every dime of mine here, rather than attending any other coffeehouse around this neighbourhood.

Good ambience.items taste good here bt the money they charge is high as compared to the quantity they serve.Again they hav less variety of eggless cakes.<br/>So for vegetarian there are less choices.

Cafe Ole is a smallish, yet well decorated place. I absolutely loved the bar like seating at the counter. We tried the following :<br/>Mixed veg Peperritos (rs 80)- This was a modified version of canopies. Decent flavours, but it definitely needed more sauciness and the addition of decent amount of cheese to take it up a notch. <br/>Pepper cream and tangy vegetables grilled sandwich (rs 150)- Good taste, but they went overboard with the amount of potato inside. They should replace the burnt and tasteless tortilla chips they serve alongside with fries or salad or better chips. Did not understand the reason behind serving a portion of spaghetti alongside the sandwich, but appreciated it nonetheless. <br/>Had a coffee dessert here (do not recall the name) that was basically an espresso shot served with scoops of vanilla ice cream. This was a perfect bitter sweet ending to our meal here. Also I loved the cutlery this was served in.

A cute small place with limited seating capacity (which is why I had a take out). They have a huge variety of sandwiches sandwiches and more sandwiches! I can't speak for all of them on the menu but the ones I had were delicious! Although I would've liked it better if the crusts weren't so hard. A must try here is their coffee!

Went to this place with special friends, had one of the best sandwiches ever. Cold coffee was also excellent. Really loved the experience and also the ambiance.

Absolutely loved the ambiance of the place. They were very accommodating with our large group and took care of all our needs soon. <br/><br/>The coffee smell called us in, the black coffee and the Cafe mocha were both delicious . <br/><br/>I love the fact that they serve a small molded dark chocolate with all their coffees. <br/><br/>Overall the place was vibrant and had a very warm vibe. Extremely courteous staff. <br/><br/>Cheers!

Sandwiches, sandwiches and sandwiches!!! The menu has only sandwiches but who wants to complain, they have got a ranging variety of them right from spicy to chocolaty especially when served by the friendly staff. The interiors are fitting for a cafe but it has got limited seating capacity. We always choose the cushioned stool placed aside<br/>the counter where we can watch the staff prepare our coffee while gazing upon the framed pictures of some famous personalities. <br/>   Naming the pepperitos and tostatadas as quick bites is apt as they are tasty that in a matter of few minutes one could<br/><br/>gobble them down however I would recommend to try out the non veg version since the veg turned out a little bland.<br/><br/>   The sandwiches are served with either with Nacho crackers or Spaghetti and the stuffing within the sandwich is good<br/>with fresh vegetables.My personal favorite are Mexican Chicken 'n' Cheese Sandwich, Brazilian sweet 'n' spicy chicken sandwich and Tandoori Chicken sandwich (Fan of Chicken dishes :P). The menu describes the ingredients of each dish which  is helpful for choosing the one which tingles our taste buds. <br/>   The review would be incomplete without a mention of their chocolate sandwiches. They are yummy, really heavy and chocolicious. The coffees and Milk shakes are regular as other joints offer. As for the tea I order either the Green apple iced tea or Lemon Tea and both of them as per my opinion are over priced, apart from that all<br/>dishes are worth the money.Recommended to visit this place for a light dinner.

Classic to be Precise. Must visit place in Pondicherry after a long ride. Sit back relax and have a Awesome Classic Grilled Sandwich and a Hot Coffee :)

Its Zuka s own Cafe Ole.. ☺ Again not to miss. Cozy ambience with coffee paintings around. The aroma of coffee was so welcoming! Frio coffee was superb after walking in the heat. Very good ambience and polite people. Sandwiches were also very different and delicious in taste.

We reached Café Olé after a long bike ride in the hot Pondicherry sun. We we were parched and tired.<br/>As we entered this cosy little Café, conveniently located on Mission Street, we were instantly welcomed by its warm ambience. The staff is courteous and the music is good.<br/>Now coming to the food, the cold coffees are delicious and very reasonable. Do try the Frio! The sandwiches are yummy too. We ordered the spinach and corn sandwich and the chicken tostadas. Both were delicious. A special mention is to be given to the absolutely beautiful presentation of both, the food and the coffees.<br/>A definite must visit if you're in Pondicherry.

Simply sexy and hot n cold coffees are available with all custom made tastes. The presentation of the cuisine is really awww in their own creativity. Even coffee ☕️ haters will start liking coffee after trying once here. (P.S. actually I hate coffees but after siping here started thinking missed all the Coffeè fun all these years, especially Cold Coffee with Caramel cream on it.😜)

One of the best places to visit when you are in pondicherry, hungry and craving some comfort food(Sandwich and coffee). The moment you enter, you are welcomed by the courteous staff. I think customer service is a very important part of the whole food experience, it makes you feel soo much better even before you have tasted the food, kinda gives you a good vibe. Thats exactly what my experience was. The moment I entered, I was greeted by friendly staff. He was kind enough to explain me soo much - about the cafe, the menu, the town , the history !! Ordered two Sandwiches , a coffee and a strawberry shake. Everything was wonderful. <br/>Limetta Chicken Sandwich: Sort of fell in love with it. Made so well, with a wonderful hint of Lemon. The side spaghetti they serve is just so tasty. <br/>Sweet and Spicy sandwhich: Good in taste. Not too sweet.<br/>Cappucino: Took away all my tiredness. Was served the right hot.<br/>Strawberry Shake: The shake was about Average. <br/>However I loved my visit here. A must when you are in town.

I was recommended this place for coffee and sandwiches. I ordered a off the menu hot coffee with hazelnut flavour and my wife asked for a cold coffee. Both were average. We also ordered 2 sandwiches  which was also average. Overall this is a casual coffee and sandwiches place where you can grab a quick bite. Yes, the seating is cramped and thus you cannot enjoy a long time meal here. Still worth a try for sure and Im sure  many might like it more than me and rate it higher.

A good normal coffee is all i could say after a long day of travelling. The seating was very much congested as they had also bring in products of ZUKA in the same shop. I like their slang, the 2nd best coffee in the city..

cafe ole is good experience if your a chocoholic / cafeholic..!!!<br/>but they even provide coffee with rum....according to your strength...worth a try if you fit in any of the above mentioned categories.

Cute interior. Courteous staff. We had some chocolate and Brazilian chocolate drink. Both were good. The location is good. And is quite a popular place....

A cafe on MG road which we decided to try coz it was located besides Zuka. Its a pretty small place and there arent much seating options available, Just a couple of 3 seater tables with high stools by the counter so thats about the Ambience.<br/>Food - like they claim to make the second best coffee in the town:) I am Yet to try the best though:) we ordered a starter, sandwich and drinks. Sandwich (with bread options) are really delicious and must try and the drinks were amazing too! Try not to order the starters since they are not as great as thier sandwich.<br/><br/>Staff is courteous, they welcome you with a smile and help you with the menu. Service was fast and this becomes an ideal place for quick good bites<br/>Price is very reasonable for the kind of food they give.<br/>Khushbu Rithal <br/>

Great cafe, with perfect ambience  and simply awesome food. Try the sandwiches and cold coffee, I bet you will keep trying all of them. My fav was Vegetable Manchurian sandwich and Baked Potatoes with parsley sandwich. Dont miss this place, if you are in White Town

A high-end, small-sized cafe when compared to the rest of Pondicherry, this place is for those craving a hot cup of joe with some light sandwiches.<br/><br/>My friends and I tried the Tex Mex Tostado and Manchurian sandwiches. Both of the dishes were served with chips, and had a very unique and fusion tasted. Quite like-able! <br/><br/>Though on the pricier side, I think I'd consider this place a reliable one to visit for a quick bite after a stroll along Rock beach.
