Recently did a Bangalore->Kodaikanal->Bangalore bike ride and I took a break at this place during onward and return journey. Very nice place to take a brief stop and refresh yourself. There is ample parking space and good toilets. You can enjoy a quick hot cup of tea with some light snacks. There is a small garden with many flowering plants and can hear different birds singing. Highly recommended !!!

Happened to see this place when returning down from kodaikanal. Plenty of tea options. We were recommended to try the Kashmiri tea. It was really good. I also tried the immunitea which had a lot of spices, lemon and honey which was soothing for the cold climate and I liked it the best!
