When Bangalore goes high for a coffee
Talk about Bangalore and
you start to relate it with its awesome weather and the watering holes it
houses. Over the years, the café culture has cake-walked into the lives of its
people and is almost synonymous with the Garden City. I often wonder if the
founders of the massive Café chain, Café coffee day was aware of the revolution
he was bringing about when he opened the first outlet at Brigade road. He
certainly wouldn’t have dreamt that in the next decade or so, there would cafĂ©s
around almost every corner of Bangalore. Following the success story of the
CCD, a good number of brands like the Barista, Costa Café, Gloria Beans and the
international Coffee giant Starbucks have tried to gain a foothold here.
From the Garden city, to
the city of pubs and parties, the city lives up to the expectations of the
people who love night life. But not all Bangaloreans subscribe to this noisy
nightlife and would rather prefer delicious food along with charming, soothing,
well cultured ambience.However, there is a new trend in the Café segment called
“art cafes” that is revolutionizing the idea of ‘culture over coffee’, and
guess what? The city is loving it!
A list of great cafĂ©’s u
must try include the Leanin tree art café, DYU art café, ATTA GALATA, Om Made
café, Claytopia, Courtyard café, Hole in the wall, Café max, Café 42, Art blend
café and many more which are spread across the CBD of Bangalore.
I had to visit all these
cafés without any doubt but I also wanted some inspiration for my writing. So I
took the opportunity and decided to visit each of these peaceful cafĂ©’s when
time permitted to write a little something for myself when I am there, a way of
soul searching. Too bad I haven’t gotten much far with this idea of mine but I
am surely working on it.
Here are a few pictures
from DYU art café. I also took a visit to Leaning Tree Art cafe and Hole in the
Wall, but I left my camera back at home. Lesson learnt, always carry your
camera. New updates with new pictures on a different place coming soon.
