    Cool Ambience... Prices are a bit high... Not at all pocket friendly. Nice place to spend the evening with your loved ones... We choose to sit outside as the ambience is quite romantic with low lights and few corners will give you a magic like feeling. It's a very small cafe. Prices are comparatively much higher than the standard price of these cafes... It's need to be taken care

    There is little to no knowledge of what good coffee looks like at most of the generic 'machine made' with the cheapest coffee beans . The craft coffee scene in Kolkata is picking up and this is another place that tries to offer you a 'specialty coffee' experience. Choice of brewing methods is limited to Chemex and Pour over and they have 2 blends (1 for dark and 1 for medium roast). Having said that, I had a Chemex one, and it was decent. Slightly bitter(probably over extraction) and not bad at all. Wife had the hot chocolate which was nice and not overloaded with any syrup. The ham and cheese sandwich was excellent and their herbed bread is superb The place itself has a pretty outdoor open seating space and a limited but quirky indoor space with an exposed brick wall design which adds to its retro Vibes. Unobtrusive and fairly quick service, great food and decent coffee. I would recommend this place!

    Firstly I have no complaint about the food. We ordered stuffed chicken florentine, mushroom and cheese crepes, chicken ravioli and hazelnut hot chocolate. And each and every item was delicious. But I am never coming back to this place. The indoor seating arrangement is clearly made for couples who would just order beverages. The table is too small to accommodate anything and all hell breaks loose if they have to entertain groups of three or more people indoors! Because they only have one big table and literally snatch away your table which you requested because all the food could not be accommodated in that miniature thing they call a table! Next is the service - it’s pretty slow and almost rude. It definitely doesn’t feel nice when they take back the table that you requested. And lastly the location is absolutely not a good fit, no parking, narrow roads. All in all it’s definitely not just the food that matters, it’s the entire package. I would have gone for a 1 star had the food been a little more disappointing but truth be told it was the food that kept me sane!

    The place is a little expensive than a regular coffee house but the taste of their food is extremely worth the price. The cafe is located in the South city mall area. We tried the blueberry pancake with classic mojito and chemex. I personally loved the place. It has a very photogenic atmosphere and each corner is full of instaworthy shots. We couldn't try any sort of coffee as the coffee machine was not working but I hope it was a one time thing and they would serve me coffee in my next visit. The behavior of the staff was everything. Obviously a 5 out of 5 star service and behavior.

    A bit hard to find cafe tucked away in small alleyway. However, location pointer on google is accurate so I followed GPS directions. Great selection of coffee. The atmosphere is chilled. Cafe owners are helpful and attentive. We had cold brew and a cappuccino. Both are excellent.

    Amazing place to go out with your friends and family.. very well decorated.. they've used each corner of the plot so aesthetically. We had Spanish cheese omelet (comes with two slices of bread) with Oreo chocolate shake and cold coffee. Don't know why we had to wait for more than usual for our food to be served. If you want to explore this cafe you may pay a visit during the evening..with all the lights and shadows the place looks more attractive and beautiful.

    Ambiance is good , but found their food little bit overpriced in terms of served quantity. Food quality Is okay. Experience was average to be true did not meet the expectations at all as i was expecting it to be.

    COLAB is a really nice, cozy place to spend some time with your friends. Nice place to work on our laptops. We ordered Mushroom and Cheese Crepes. It was quite costly as compared to the taste it provided. The cuisine is authentically italian. You can try their different foods in the same cuisine. It's a nice place to spend some time but pocket pinch is a bit high

    My favorite cafe in Kolkata. A very nice vibe with great coffee and a very good menu. Not as pretentious or overpriced as Sienna and much more comfortable and chill than Roastery or 8th Day. A must visit.

    Very nice place and ambience. Good food too! Highly recommend! This is one of my favourite cafés in Lake gardens! Very nice decor and interior and the food is too good! There is a variety of coffee options and the deserts are excellent! My favourites are the Margherita 2.0 pizza (with added chicken), cold brew and their Tiramisu! Was too excited to eat and forgot to take pictures of the food :( The interior is AC and there is seating arrangement in the balcony too! 5stars!

    The ambience of the place is really what sets it apart, though the prices are much higher, it's pretty low-profile but aesthetic corner.

    I drove all the way to Colab cafe just to find that they are shut for a private party. That is a terrible experience especially considering that their hours clearly said open.

  • 3/5 Sucheta G. 2 years ago on Google
    Had visited the place when it was called The Lighthouse and was hugely disappointed..The new COLAB cafe is a much improved version...We selected outside sitting as it had the rustic charm and was romantically lit up....Both tea and coffee were splendid , food was good too..Service needs to be spruced up a bit but special mention must be made of that Kirsty girl who made the visit even more pleasurable..Washroom was spic n span ..Pricing is slightly on the higher side..Enjoyed 👍

😐 Simply come here for the atmosphere and history. Nothing should be eaten here. Cold coffee was a letdown. It was cold water that had been sweetened with a pinch of coffee. The fish kaviraji was satisfactory. Despite the fact that there is a no-smoking sign on the premises, I observed people smoking...
