Strong consistent praise for fresh sandwiches, coffee, and generous portions draws regulars back weekly. Staff friendliness and quality ingredients stand out, though a critical hygiene incident and recent reports of declining food quality trouble the otherwise solid experience.
Recent shift: A quality and consistency concern emerged in the past year: one long-term customer reported declining food standards and poor BLT execution; another noted the signature sandwich remains excellent but questioned coffee pricing; a serious hygiene incident in November 2025 involved unmasked kitchen staff sneezing over food prep with no management apology, contradicting the cafe's display of international awards.
Drip serves quality specialty coffee and tea with consistent praise for staff warmth and lobby seating ideal for meetings or downtime. Recent reviews highlight successful limited-time pairings and a relaxed vibe, though older complaints flagged barista skill gaps and a rough period of inconsistent brewing.
When the food lands on your table, biryani wins compliments and prices stay reasonable. However, service lags badly-staff linger chatting while orders pile up-and quality swings wildly: some days fresh, other days spoiled mutton or half-cooked chicken arrives. Hygiene lapses (hair in rice, stale murtabak) and long waits have prompted health complaints.
Coffee quality and owner warmth draw regulars, but late openings and inconsistent execution frustrate some. Reviewers praise their vanilla latte and pastries as freshly made and crafted; the owner earns mention for hospitality. However, recurring reports of doors staying locked past 8am opening time, plus complaints about stale pastries and lukewarm drinks at premium prices, suggest operational inconsistency that undercuts the cafe's potential.
