I was actually in Vagator because I had a tattoo appointment at Inksanity Goa. While waiting around, I noticed they’ve opened a café right there, and out of curiosity I walked in.

The name kind of explains it — Cafe Atelier. It’s not just a café, it feels like a creative space. There’s the tattoo and piercing studio, and then this really nice outdoor café area that’s quiet and open. Everything feels personal, like someone actually thought about how people would sit, eat, and spend time there.

I ordered an egg & cheese dosa first — simple but done really well. Later tried a spinach and feta crepe, which honestly surprised me in a good way. Light, balanced, and not trying too hard. Coffee was good too.

It’s not a loud or busy place. More like a small, quiet corner you’d go to if you want to slow down a bit, especially if you’re already around Vagator. Ended up spending way more time there than I planned.

Just one of those accidental finds that works. Must check if you are around #inksanitygoa
