Take the MRTS from Egmore to Mylapore, it's cheap and beats Egmore traffic, but go before 8 or the filter coffee crowd fills it.

sounds about right, go closer to 7 if u can

the 8:15 office rush is the real cutoff, not 9

Yeah, 8:15 is when the regulars land.

Worth it for the filter coffee and the old tiled interior, though the food is fairly standard. If you're going by bus, the 21G from Egmore station side drops you close on Kutchery Road. I'd aim for 7:30 since the office crowd hits hard after 8:30. Cash is easier than cards there.

7:30 still cuts it, the 8:15 office rush is the killer

7:15 if u want a seat without hovering

Second this, Tuesdays are quieter than Mondays

also grab a dabara set from the counter before u leave, cheaper there than most shops
