Writer’s Cafe, a restaurant chain present at many parts of the neighbourhood recently opened at R.A.Puram First Main Road.
The house-turned cafe gives a traditional look with a tiled roof and open spaces. It is a venture of M.Mahadevan of Oriental Cuisines in collaboration with the well-known bookstore Higginbothams.
A staff at the store says that popular magazines and books on fiction, fashion, and coffee table books will arrive in a week. So while at the cafe people will also be able to buy their favourite books, he says.
A variety of pizzas and pasta with customizable topping options top the menu. The cafe also offers an all-day breakfast that includes french toast, bread omelet, and fruit bowl. A range of puffs, sandwiches, and toasts also line their shelves.
Cakes in various measures prepared fresh from their central kitchen in Taramani are available for sale. One can also pick up plum cakes packed in tin boxes for Christmas. A 500 g of plum cake is priced at Rs. 430.
The proceeds from the sales of the items at the cafe go towards supporting underprivileged youth and victims affected by domestic violence. The cafe trains them in baking at Winners Bakery (also a venture by Mahadevan) at Alwarpet and then, provides job opportunities to them at various branches of this cafe.
