Our Journey

Thoothukudi Café was born from soil, sweat, and soul.

Our chef comes from a humble farming family in Tamil Nadu. Guided by his father's words—"Do something that brings you recognition"—he found his calling in baking, not books. In Allagadda, Andhra Pradesh, he trained under a kind-hearted guru at Laxmi Bakery. After four years, his guru gifted him a wooden cart—and that's where the journey truly began.

In 1995, with that cart, he and his brother created two unique cakes that won hearts. Then came their signature Kova Bun, a game-changer. The love from Allagadda inspired them to dream bigger.

"To honor their roots, they named their dream Thoothukudi Café—a tribute to Tamil Nadu's coastal soul."

From one cart to cafés across Hyderabad, our journey is a story of grit, gratitude, and great food.
