A café in an old pepper warehouse facing the water — check it's reopened.
Cafe
A café in an old pepper warehouse facing the water on Mattancherry's trading waterfront. The building's warehouse setting connects it to the spice and port history of the neighbourhood. It was temporarily closed when this record was checked; the owners said in August 2026 that it would reopen, but had not announced a date, so verify before visiting.
