Thalappakatti - The final outlet in the food studio was difficult to even make out because of the scores of people in front of it. With the biggest menu in the food studio, the range of options they had was massive.

Desserts, coffee and other snacks

Whight and Co – The outlet is classy and smack dab in the middle of the basement. While their prices are a little on the expensive side, the aroma of coffee surrounding the area makes it very hard to resist.

Frosties – Shining in pink with rolled ice cream made on the spot for those craving ice cream, Frosties offers various different flavours from milo to oreo to caramel. Prices range from Rs.400 – 600.

The English Cake Company -  With a reputation for a mouthwatering selection of cookies and cakes, the outlet offers a variety of cakes, doughnuts, gateaux, brownies and cookies, and don’t forget to look for the samples on the counter. Cake slices range from Rs. 500-Rs.700 range, brownies Rs 300 and cookies Rs 180.

Beard Papa’s  – With a choice between 3 creams (vanilla custard, chocolate and matcha) and around 5 different puffs (cookie cream, pie, kaze kaze, mini and eclair) the puffs are a steal at Rs 280.

Fresh Intentions – the only dedicated fruit juice stand in the entire food court (not counting the keells juices). With a very eye catching colourful display of fresh fruits, they have a selection that is prepared upon request. Their selection ranges from fruit juices to smoothies, detox juices, milkshakes and faluda.
