Our story
A courtyard, some ferns, and a lot of coffee
Meera Varghese left a hotel kitchen in 2021 to run something smaller. The building came with an open courtyard, so she filled it with ferns. That gave the cafe its name.
Today it's 34 seats (20 inside, 14 in the courtyard) and a team of 6.
The Fern Card
Paper stamp cards get lost. Ours lives in WhatsApp.
Scan the QR at the counter with each filter coffee. WhatsApp tells you where you're at, and the ninth cup is on us.
