There is nothing quite like the crisp morning air in Varkala. Beating the afternoon heat with an early morning scooter ride along the coast, culminating in a delicious breakfast by the sea, is an experience you shouldn't miss. Here is your guide to the ultimate Varkala breakfast ride.
1. Cafe Del Mar (North Cliff)
Start your day right at the edge. Overlooking the Arabian Sea from the high vantage point of the North Cliff, Cafe Del Mar is legendary for its hearty English breakfasts and strong, freshly brewed coffee. Riding up to the cliff early in the morning guarantees easy parking for your scooter and the best seaside table.
2. InDa Cafe (Kurakkanni)
If you prefer a lush, tropical garden setting over the cliff edge, InDa Cafe is your spot. Tucked away in the quiet lanes of Kurakkanni, reaching it via scooter is a breeze. They serve fantastic smoothie bowls, avocado toasts, and some of the best organic coffee in town. It's the perfect quiet sanctuary before the town wakes up.
3. Odayam Beach Shacks
For a more rustic, local vibe, ride your scooter slightly north to Odayam Beach. Here, local shacks serve up traditional Kerala breakfasts: piping hot Puttu (steamed rice cake) with Kadala curry (black chickpeas) or classic appams. Enjoying this local fare while listening to the breaking waves is an authentic Varkala experience.
Why a Morning Ride is Best
The roads are empty, the light is golden, and the temperature is cool. A morning scooter ride not only gets you to the best breakfast spots but is a meditative experience in itself.
