A lovely new find in Auroville! This newly opened spot isn’t very well-known yet, but it definitely deserves more attention. The prices are super reasonable and the menu has a good variety – from tasty sandwiches to delicious Indian dishes. Their fresh orange juice is an absolute must-try, so refreshing! The place has a nice, relaxed vibe and feels like the kind of spot you’d happily keep coming back to. The only downside was the super slow service, but hopefully that improves with time. Definitely worth checking out if you’re around Auroville!

The Living Room is a tastefully designed Cafe offering a wide range of cuisines. The chia, millet and fruit bowl was out of this world. The coffee hit the spot, the omelette and toast, Utthappam and dosas were delicious. Staff were extremely courteous and friendly, and overall the dishes were reasonably priced for the quality offered. It’s hard to beat the location and ambience, right in the heart of Auroville. Bravo to Debo, Satyakam bhai, and the entire TLR team. This is undoubtedly one of the best Cafes in Auroville.

If you want a quiet and excellent breakfast then The Living Room is your place. The quality and quantity of the food they serve is top notch. We loved everything we had - the pancakes with millets were excellent, the fluffy french toast - best in town I guess and freshly squeezed juice. Can’t wait to try everything on the menu one by one.
