Cafe Argyle House

The Café Argyle will beat a beauty contest hands down with enough to spare. It is easily Shimla's prettiest café and it's advantageous location on the Upper Mall Road, gives it easy accessibility to the throngs of tourists parading on the scenic Mall. There're real potted flowers at the entrance of this beauty in an old Raj-era building. Accessed by pretty steps in blue and white, the wood and concrete structure has been tastefully designed in bright teal and yellow with magenta overhead lamps that shine bright, warm colours even during the day. The design, colours and the spick and span interiors is what drew me inside. Since it was breakfast time, I looked at the breakfast menu, which is sadly not designed for health-conscious patrons. There were parathas, pancackes, eggs to order and toast, but only with white bread. No mention of oats or muesli. I ordered the old, reliable cappuccino, and it did not disappoint. The Argyle has probably the best beans in town. The cappuccino is the best I've had in Shimla and was absolutely refreshing, hot and rich in flavour. The prices match coffees in the bigger metros. I enjoyed people-watching over coffee, from my seat overlooking the bustling Mall Road outside. It's a café great for socializing and you may want to have lunch or dinner here, if you can find a seat during the season. The design and colours of this beauty will linger long after I bid adieu to Shimla.

Had a good experience. We had - Margherita Pizza, Cheesy fries, Veg pasta with white sauce, and a drink ( Unicorn drink). I loved the unicorn drink. I feel they really need to work on their menu because there are not many options for people who really want to try something new. Other than that everything is fine.

It is one of the best cafes of Shimla It is located on mall road,when you get out of the lift it's just opposite. I recommend Mix Sauce pasta and their coca cola it's something different it was like a fountain and fizzy mix. Good place to chill and Beautiful Ambience.

It's quite good located in a entrance of the mall road Shimla., food are good., tried there chicken club sandwich and tomato soup but they do not have much varieties of short eats

As you come up from the lift you will find this amazing cafe just in front of you. The food is good specially the snacks with one of the best shakes in shimla.Staff is good and the place was neat and clean with a good ambience. Must try is hot chocolate, banana shake and daal makhani.I am pretty sure other food items are good too. Highly recommended place for all the shimla visitors.
