Silvertip Café & Homestay

Every time I take the Kotagiri Road, to get to and from Coimbatore, I always make a pit stop at my favourite tea house – Silvertip Café & Homestay. Located just 5 kilometres before the quaint town of Kotagiri, Silvertip Café has been welcoming travellers for seven years, offering a delightful blend of comfort and tranquillity. 

I love the modern aesthetic of the place. The café’s exterior, with its full glass windows, not only provides a clear view of the winding road but also offers glimpses of the lush tea plantations that dot the landscape. 

Stepping into Silvertip Café is almost like stepping into a pot of freshly brewed tea, the aroma being so delightful. They take great pride in their speciality teas under the brand Silvertip, each sip a testament to the region's rich tea-growing heritage. For tea enthusiasts like me, this is always a delight and I invariably find myself indulging in multiple cups of their exquisite blends.

Their in-house bakery is another highlight I never miss. The brownies and tea cakes are something I indulge in there, and pack to carry with me to my destination. Each bite is a perfect complement to the serene surroundings of this charming place.

Silvertip Café has a wide range of books and magazines for those of us travelling alone. A cup of tea, a brownie and a book – sigh – I would take a trip JUST for this. Additionally, Silvertip Homestay offers four cosy rooms for guests, each designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. 

Silvertip Café is more than just a stopover – it’s an experience to savour. Whether you’re a tea connoisseur, a lover of scenic views, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, this charming establishment offers it all. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and invigorated to complete the rest of my road trip, with memories of their speciality teas and warm hospitality lingering long after my departure.
