Inside Kreate by Kraft
Kreate by Kraft sits quietly within the CMRL campus off Anna Salai in Nandanam, offering a cozy, modern wooden-house vibe that works well for both casual meetups and relaxed dinners. The café's atmosphere feels carefully crafted—warm and stylish but not overly formal—making it a comfortable spot to spend a couple of hours whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment solo.
Locals appreciate the thoughtful touches sprinkled throughout the space, like handcrafted door knobs and custom coasters, which evoke a subtle artisanal charm without feeling pretentious. There's a two-level layout that gives some room to spread out, and kids often find their way here too, drawn by the availability of board games like Sequence and Jenga. Parents can relax knowing staff are attentive and accommodating, even keeping an eye out for infants without missing a beat.
The menu is a diverse blend of flavors, with offerings that nod to global comfort food—from Korean Ramyeon and fried chicken varieties to pastas and innovative desserts like Basque Cheesecake and Biscoff Cheesecake. The food tends to range from reliably good to notably creative; dishes like the Thai green curry with Jasmine rice get praised for being flavorful and satisfying, while some starter options might land differently depending on your taste. Drinks, especially their mocktails like the Virjin Mojito or the Sunset mocktail, get special mentions and make for engaging companions whether you’re mid-afternoon or early evening.
Parking is convenient, with space right outside, which eases the usual urban hassle. The crowd is mixed—young adults, families with children, and professionals looking for a stylish but approachable spot to relax or have an informal meal. Early evenings and weekends feel particularly lively without becoming overwhelming, making those times ideal for visiting.
In all, Kreate by Kraft serves well as a neighborhood café that marries a contemporary feel with a laid-back attitude. It works best for those who appreciate variety in their meal choices and a setting that balances comfort with tasteful design details. Whether you pop in for a flavorful lunch, a relaxed dinner with friends, or a casual afternoon drink coupled with some board game fun, it offers a practical and pleasant local experience in the heart of Chennai.
