The café cum bakery, Bread and Chocolate serves you the best bread and chocolates in Pondicherry just like the name implies!

#6. Marc’s Café
Photographers, looking for any cinematic frames of ‘cafés’ – this is your place!
On your way back from Auroville to the city, you would be tempted to stop at this beautiful cafe. The spectacular decor and the freshly grounded coffee beans (grown in Auroville farms), with its aroma, is what makes this cafe an outstanding place.

#7. Baker Street Café
The most famous café in Pondicherry. More than a café, its ambience gives us the vibe of a bakery and more than their coffees, it is the croissants and muffins that are highly recommended. I can personally suggest their savoury croissants which is just WOW!
Ready to give yourself the experience of the best and original French cuisine? Well, Bon Appétit!!
Average cost: 400 – 700 INR for two.
#8. Café des Arts (Best Cafes In Pondicherry for Instagrammers )
This is my favourite café to spend time, reading a book and having a cup of hot coffee( if at all I had enough money!). The décor is commendable. The coffees and the juices are their two specialities.
You will only know what I am speaking when you step inside the café!
For arts and coffee, here you go – Café des arts!
Average cost: 500 – 800 INR for two.
ALSO, closed on all Tuesdays.
#9. Le Café
Le café is located just near the Rock beach, and hence the view is mind-blowing. The filter coffee and sandwiches are worth trying.
Le café is one of the oldest cafés we have in Pondicherry. So many years yet perfect in their service!

10. Earth Café – Best Cafes In Pondicherry
Earth café is a part of the most popular boutique hotel, Palais de Mahe, located in the white town very near to the beach. The café that is set up in a limited space is winning hearts with their welcoming service and phenomenal coffee! It is not a famous one, but you can definitely give it a try!
