Assumption Tea Place

Tucked along the cobbled lanes of Fontainhas, Panaji, Cafe Tea Trunk is a serene escape in Goa’s Latin Quarter. Housed within a restored 18th-century Portuguese mansion at Chapel, St. Sebastian Road, this heritage café is famed for its curated global tea collection and a menu that marries Goan-Portuguese soul with European finesse. The atmosphere is intimate and art-filled, with antique trunks, vintage tiles, and sun-dappled verandas that whisper old-world charm. Signature offerings include the robust Goan Chorizo Pão, delicate prawn balchão flatbread, and their legendary Masala Chai—brewed with house-blend spices. For a memorable afternoon, pair their Saffron Risotto or Bebinca Trifle with a pot of Darjeeling First Flush. Open from 9 AM Thursday onward, it is a must for travelers seeking poetic, slow dining in Goa’s most photogenic quarter.
