Kappa38 is also celebrated for its decadent desserts, particularly the exquisite cakes and the renowned cannelé, which have stolen the hearts (and taste buds) of local patrons. The fresh, rich flavors of the owner’s signature chocolate cake are not to be missed, often hailed as the best in Kochi. The cozy café atmosphere combined with the delightful sweets makes it a perfect stop to treat yourself to an afternoon indulgence, or to take some time for self-reflection over a cup of brewed perfection.
