The menu at Cafe Chica is a delightful medley of flavors featuring fresh, wholesome ingredients.

Their selection of fragrant teas—including the soothing Darjeeling Tea Pot and invigorating Masala Chai—perfectly complements any dish and makes for a perfect afternoon break.
The atmosphere at Cafe Chica is as delightful as the food. Situated amidst a stunning backdrop of mountains with elegantly maintained gardens, it’s an idyllic retreat.
