In our visit to Panchgani happened to visit Local Cafe by accident and ended by going like 5 times in 4 days. Strawberry with Cream is best in town with Fresh strawberry's, and the waffles are the best.

The best place to hang out with friends and family. The most delicious meal i have ever and will ever have. All the items are well made and well prepared .All the staff working in the cafe are very good and know how to talk to their customers. They have good knowledge about how to make the dish and the language they use during conversing with their cunstmcusis very good, it shows how well mannered they are. No dish made can be compared with one another as ther are all well made and are finger licking good. Keep up the good work and keep making all these delicious items.
