Delicious food, generous portions and great prices. Recommend the pancakes, smoothie bowl. Also two perfectly fried eggs in butter at my request for only 50 Rupauls. Iced coffee was a little weak, maybe too much milk and too little ice, but Blue Tokai beans in my experience are great though. Will come here again.

The place has a very surreal energy surrounded my palm and tropics with birds in the background and my favourite Blue Tokai coffee. Painted a picture for you! Definitely recommend.

LOVE THIS PLACE! It’s a little oasis of calm, a quick stroll (or scooty ride) up from the main hustle bustle of Palolem. Whether going for a coffee break, a nourishing smoothie, or one of the *divine* and delicious dishes from their healthy yet indulgent New Zealand inspired menu, then you’re sure to leave feeling both restored and revived. I love going for brunch and having the sriracha eggs, or the halloumi bowl, or the Good Oats which I crave. Put it on your south goal hotlist!

I was surprised to see already known palm on the logo of this restaurant and happy to discover this new place in Palolem. The cafe that I had already in love with, but in the new forest format. A stunning place for nature lovers and for appeasement holidays. On the one hand, it is framed by bougenvilia, on the other hand, a palm forest filled with songs of the birds and of crickets. The food is very nice here, like in The Mill. It also has this attractive sofa full of pillows, from which I don't want to leave.While I had breakfast, I got a new feathered friend who roamed in search of snacks.

Such an amazing cafe with very healthy food and tasty. A range of nice options and wonderful staff. The cafe is secluded in a hidden jungleish spot which makes it even more charming.

Came here with family before leaving Goa and it was a delight. And so lucky that we didn't miss it. The food was scrumptious, and the ambience chill. Service was fast. And in a quiet area. Try it for yourself!

It’s definitely my new favourite healthy menu in Canacona and it’s in a peaceful garden 50 metres from Palolem beach. I stayed in Palm Forest last year and thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the shack-meets-luxury. I recently went back for a drop in yoga class at their peaceful yoga studio and tried the new menu which I thoroughly enjoyed and have been there 4 times this week! The salads are some of the best you will get in South Goa (if not the best in Goa) with a great mix of local ingredients and generous servings. I had the halloumi salad and my friend had eggs Benedict which was also delicious. The coffee is Blue Tokai (like at their other popular restaurant The Mill) so it’s always excellent. The restaurant isn’t on obvious place on the beach and it is a calm vibe to work, eat after yoga, have an intimate meal or have a healthy recovery breakfast. I know from my stay last year that the staff also make excellent cocktails.
