Cafe X8

Inside Cafe X8

Cafe X8 is a casual spot tucked near the TATA Showroom in Puthussery, Nilamel, making it an accessible pause for anyone traveling along MC Road or locals looking for a relaxed hangout. This café blends the easygoing vibe of a neighborhood tea store with the liveliness of a food court, creating a versatile space where you can either kick back with friends or focus quietly with a laptop.

The atmosphere here leans towards cozy and unpretentious. Evening visits bring out a warm, subtle lighting that suits relaxed chats or casual meets, while daytime hours feel bright and inviting. There’s enough parking to avoid the usual street parking hassle, which helps when you want to drop by without stress.

Locals seem to appreciate Cafe X8 for its flexible menu that caters to various tastes — whether you’re after a strong cup of tea, a creamy shake, or a well-brewed iced coffee. The tea tends to be a reliable, smooth choice, delivering that classic Kerala chai experience, while shakes come thick and refreshing, just right for the heat. The snacks serve a nice crunchy balance, fueling conversations or quick breaks alike.

This place works well as a low-key meet-up spot, ideal for anyone who values a comfortable, laid-back environment without fuss. It’s equally suitable for winding down after work or grabbing a quick yet satisfying refreshment on a hot afternoon. A bit of feedback from regulars mentions that a longer closing time could make evening visits even more convenient, reflecting a local desire to stretch out their time here a little longer.

"I stumbled upon Cafe X8 last week, and I've already been back three times! This place is a real gem. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a super chill and cozy vibe, making it the perfect spot to relax, work, or catch up with friends. The menu is fantastic and has something for everyone. I tried their iced coffee on my first visit, and it was perfectly brewed and refreshing. On my next visit, I had the chicken burger, and it was hands-down one of the best I've had in the city – juicy patty, fresh veggies, and a delicious sauce. My friends ordered the momos and the french fries, and we all ended up sharing. The momos were steamed to perfection with a flavorful filling, and the fries were crispy, hot, and seasoned just right. We also tried one of their signature shakes, which was thick, creamy, and absolutely heavenly! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick without feeling rushed. Cafe X8 has quickly become my go-to spot for great food, good vibes, and a perfect cup of coffee. Highly recommended!"

I stopped by Cafe X8 for a shake and a coffee, and overall it was a pleasant experience. The café is located right by the MC Road, which makes it easy to find. At night, the lighting gives the place a nice, cozy ambiance — great for a casual evening hangout. There's decent parking available, which is definitely a plus. The shake and coffee I had were both good. The only downside I noticed was the presence of a few flies, which took away from the otherwise nice atmosphere. Hopefully, this can be addressed soon. Still, a good spot for a quick stop or a relaxed evening coffee.

A beautiful café to enjoy quality food and spend some relaxed time. The ambience is pleasant and inviting. While the overall experience was good, the service could be improved.

The word shining bathrooms added curiosity. A regular washroom nothing to be so awestruck. Good snacks maintained.
