Pakiki is a laid-back café nestled on Gymkhana Road in Surat’s Piplod area, offering a relaxed mix of indoor and outdoor seating that suits those looking to unwind or catch up with friends over fresh, well-crafted drinks and light meals. It’s the kind of spot where you’ll find a diverse crowd—from people seeking a quiet corner for solo coffee time to groups engaging in casual conversation or games.

The atmosphere blends simplicity and comfort, with whitewashed walls and minimal décor creating a calm setting that’s not overly fussy. Soft lighting and a neat outdoor seating area add to the laid-back vibe, making it a nice choice during late mornings or early evenings when the light filters in gently and the café buzzes just enough without feeling crowded.

Locals appreciate Pakiki distinctly for its coffee menu, which features interesting options like Snowcap Coffee, Mocha Freddo, and notably a Cold Brew paired with tonic water for something a bit different. The everyday coffee lovers and occasional visitors alike seem drawn to these thoughtfully prepared drinks, often accompanied by easy-going snacks and bowls like the Burrito Bowl or Paneer Rice Bowl that acknowledge local tastes without overwhelming the café experience.

Pakiki’s vibe is welcoming, supported by attentive staff who add a touch of warmth to the experience—small gestures like offering water upon arrival stand out here. Regulars also enjoy the casual entertainment options available, such as card games and occasional tournaments, which transform the café into a social hub where fun conversations develop alongside good food and drink.

Ideal for mid-afternoon catch-ups or a relaxed weekend coffee break, Pakiki fits well into the Piplod neighborhood as a casual, unpretentious gathering spot. It’s neither overly busy nor too quiet, striking a balance that makes it suitable for both quick stops and longer visits where you might linger over an iced Americano or sample one of their fresh, flavorful dishes.

Pakiki Café is such a gez place — you’ll find an all-around good crowd here. The vibe is cozy and perfect for chilling with friends or just spending some me-time. I tried their SOBA NOODLES with PESTO and the GRILLED PANEER SALAD — both were fresh and tasty. For drinks, I had an Iced Americano and an Iced Tea, which were really refreshing. The interior is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seating, plus it’s inside the Strick Play area which makes it even more fun. Service was good and quick. Timing: 8:00AM to 11:00 PM Location: Piplod,Surat Definitely one of the best cafés in town. Will visit again for sure!

Today I finally visited Pakiki — took a bike ride just to get there, and honestly, it was so worth it. I’ve been waiting to go for more than 4 months, mainly for the coffee, and it didn’t disappoint. As soon as I walked in, the vibe felt warm. The team welcomed me with a genuine smile and offered water right away — small things, but they matter. Then I met Janak and had such a good conversation with him and the staff. Super chill, friendly people who really love what they do. We started off with a double shot espresso that first sip just made me smile. It was bold, balanced, full of flavor really well made. Then they served us Vietnamese coffee, made with cold brew and condensed milk, and it was just superb. Sweet, smooth, refreshing, We ended up chatting more about coffee, sharing our journeys, and it honestly felt like I was hanging out with friends. After that, I tried the Eclipse pour-over clean, complex, really nice. And to finish, the Whiskey Barrel Cold Brew wow. So smooth and unique, I loved it. And yes, one more standout: I tried their special Snow Cap — it’s cold brew topped with cream and grated orange on top. That twist of citrus with creamy cold brew , Super tasty and absolutely delicious. The ambience is beautiful too, calm and thoughtfully done. You can feel the passion in every detail. Big thanks to Janak and the Pakiki team — you guys made my day. I’ll definitely be back.

Had the best time at Pakiki in Surat ! This café is such a hidden gem – the kind of place you randomly find and end up falling in love with. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was super chill and aesthetic. The white-washed walls, minimal décor, and soft lighting created a really calm and cozy space – perfect for long conversations or solo coffee time. And that “See You Soon?” sign near the exit? Loved that little touch! The food and drinks? Absolutely nailed it. We tried a few of their coffee options – all served beautifully, with rich, deep flavors. The cold coffee was creamy and balanced, while their desserts were honestly addictive (yes, we cleaned the plate). They even had games like Jenga on the table, which made the experience even more fun and interactive. The service was smooth – quick, polite, and very welcoming. The staff really knew their menu and recommended exactly what we needed. It’s rare to find a place where you feel both taken care of and left in peace at the same time, but Pakiki did it effortlessly. I genuinely didn’t want to leave – and judging by the "See You Soon?" sign, they knew I’d be back. If you’re anywhere near Navsari, make sure to stop by Pakiki. Whether you’re in the mood for great coffee, desserts, or just a laid-back hangout spot, this café checks all the boxes.

An enclave of fun in the midst of Surat's Piplod area. Games and a decent menu for lunch and dinner. Great coffee...smoothies and fruit bowls if you want something light for breakfast. In the evening the place is hoping with games like uno, cards against humanity and aome fun store led tournaments.

Nice little joint to have freshly brewed coffee. It’s happening and constantly buzzing. I have been here couple of time and I have never seen a dull moment, funny and crowded for sure but never dull. Games to play, mediocre service and lovely ambience.

!!MUST READ REVIEW!! THE HOT MATCHA LATTE WITH VANILLA IS THE BEST HOT MATCHA I'VE EVER HAD. I had to yell that since it really was. I usually do takeout, and I love it every time. Try the matcha there. It's amazing. Period.
