Agree, though I'd go before 8am to beat the rush.

I've only been there on trips, but Luz Corner is another good bet if you're in that area. Their filter coffee runs around 30 to 40 rupees now. Go before the office crowd hits or you'll be standing.

Ask for the davara set if you want it served the old way, and their mysore pak is worth adding for 20 rupees or so.

The davara set is the move, though I'd skip the sugar and let the meter coffee do the talking.

last time the davara set came to 35 with the mysore pak on the side, worth checking the rate before u order

Their Mylapore branch beats the Kutchery Road one for consistency, and the morning tiffin crowd clears out by 9:30.

Is 250 rupees normal for coffee in Chennai 2026?

Madras Coffee House - Dr.MGR. Central Railway Station, Chennai · #coffee

stopping over at central station next month and the madras coffee house there quoted me 250 for a coffee & a snack, is that just tourist pricing or pretty standard now? feels steep for a station cafe… stopping over at central station next month and the madras coffee house there quoted me 250 for a coffee & a snack, is that just tourist pricing or pretty standard now? feels steep for a station cafe tbh
