The oldest cafe in town just situated on the bank of river chapora with a scenic view from cafe. The food is awesome. It usually serves morning breakfast in vide varieties and in evening, tea snacks. You must give a grab to kanda Bhajji over here.. they are so tasty

An amazing place for breakfast. It's pure vegetarian and has a beautiful river view. This Cafe has been there since more than 20yrs if I remember right. I love their chai and sheera and have it almost everytime here. Besides this their all bhajis are good. It opens a little before 7am (at least thats the earliest I've gone there). Their rates are good too. 4 of us comfortable have a good breakfast within 100rs. It's a very old place and the interiors need a lot of work. The only downside sometimes is that being Riverside located, and having fresh fish sold nearby it might have a bad smell in the vicinity (but even this is rare and tolerable). It's also mostly accessible by scooter or by foot owing to the narrow road leading to it.

Cafe Pravin is a must-visit! One of the oldest spots in Sholim market, overlooking the chapora river. The staff here is super friendly, and their bhajis are a delicious and always fresh, I would recommend their Chana masala 100%, Pair it with a mix of snacks – mirchi, samosa, batata vada – for a perfect combo. Don't miss out on their sweet snacks like buns and sheera, but be an early bird, they run out fast!

For a local pav-baji breakfast and chai, this is an ideal place. They make different types of bajis for breakfast.

A great little simple breakfast spot off the edge of the river chapora. We cycled down and were very satiated with the bhajjis fare there and the mirchi pakodas. Tea is a tad bit sweet for my liking but nice and milky. Coffee was a regular nescafe coffee. We saw some rich mangrove ecosystem around the river's edge :)

Proper local chai shop with good chai and snacks. Friendly welcome, cheap and lovely riverside setting... Park near the the Siolim fish market. Go local!
