Echoes Living Room
This is one of the first café I ever visited in Hudson lane back when I was in college, It has a brick-walled décor with mirrors and frames that gives it a vintage-rustic vibe. The food here is absolutely lip smacking at a decently affordable price. The fact that it is number 1 in my ranking is because it has a very unique concept that is very rarely seen, The café is very special and unique from other café because the entire place is taken care by differently-abled staff, hence you are provided with a special instructions book at your table so you can communicate with them. If you visit this place sometime then try their ‘Oreoffee’ shake and their pizza and loaded nachos as well.

This close second on my list is one of those cafes that I always visit no matter what happens, it is one of those cafes which stand out by their quality over price! Ricos is definitely one of them, it might be a slightly tight on your budget place but the quality is top tier. It is a soothing, calm place with lovely décor and a huge mural (that looks like Marilyn Monroe to me but not to my friends somehow) and yes delicious food too. Their waffles, shakes, Peri-Peri fries and delicious cakes are worth every single penny spent.
