T3 Tea Table Shop
57a park st, corner of free school st, a venerable institution dating back to the days of the raj - heavy, sticky cakes are a specialty. when the flurry's was renovated and the menu modernized a few years ago, this place was set up by the same owners to preserve some of the old favourites and ambiance from the 'old' flury's.

Streetlife
entrance to park hotel. the universal colors of chic decor, black and red, are used extensively to give this cafe a warm but modern feel. good selection of coffees and healthy snacks opposed to what the name might make you think. this cafe is about as far from representing kolkata street life as you could possibly get. makes a good alternative to the ubiquitous baristas and coffee days.
