Kana by Coffee Mechanics
by
Urbanaut
Those in the know, know that Coffee Mechanics know (phew!) what they’re doing. While the company initially brewed batches of coffee beans and sold it to other businesses/for home consumption, they realized how great their quality was clearly and brought that signature attention to detail to their cafe, Kana. An aesthetic, genuinely eye-pleasing space, incredible coffee, wood-fired pizzas and more await you at Kana - it’s worth the trip if you live far away.
Muro
by
Urbanaut
Cantonese and thai bites in a ‘social club’ setting that may actually be worth the name - Muro promises to be a welcome addition to the Bangalore nightlife scene. Olive green tones, plush seating, a buzzing bar area - here’s a good reason to dress up and hit the town.
Zia’s garden / ZLB23
by
Urbanaut
Mysteriously named ZLB23 on Instagram, this is the speakeasy at the Leela Palace hotel. Glamorous interiors, soft jazz, live music and international bar takeovers characterise this velvet venue. If you’re a craft cocktail aficionado, and you appreciate a slow-burn evening, then make your way to Zia’s.
K A W A I I
by
Urbanaut
In a great example of product led growth (in the non-tech sense), Kawaii is an unassuming looking cafe serving Japanese ‘mochi’ ice-cream. If you visit their Instagram page you’ll be thrown into some seemingly incomprehensible gen-z content, but their dessert quality is 👌👌
Monkey Bar
by
Urbanaut
The most beloved bar that shut down for years brings its magic back to the centre of town. With a pretty impressive cocktail program, and the signature delicious bites that everyone loved Monkey Bar for - as well as an awesome outdoor area (if the noise of traffic isn’t too crazy) - you’re well advised to visit - repeatedly!
Bangalore Creative Circus
by
Urbanaut
A self-described “living lab” - Bangalore Creative Circus is a delightful hub of creativity, sustainability, excellent experiences and workshops, kid-friendly activities and a great cafe to boot. While the distance from central Bangalore is long, it’s well worth a visit especially for those with young kids, or people looking to engage in something creative and different. They have a ton of regular events and workshops so book yourself for one and go for it!
Amiel Gourmet
by
Urbanaut
Amiel Gourmet was a labour of love for French Chef Amiel Guerin– and Bangalore fell head over heels for it. While Amiel's UB city haunt is widely known among discerning diners, he has now opened virtual doors, delivering sumptuous gourmet cuisine across the city. Think Mezze platters, soft macaroons, wild mushroom risotto and classic apple Tatin. Yeah, our mouths are watering, too.
Dittoo IceCreams
by
Urbanaut
Dittoo is your answer to the conundrum of how to snarf down ice creams when you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant or generally health-conscious. They have some pretty bold flavours — there’s toffee in a tub, dates-based scoops and a coconut milk-meets-flowers concoction that were curious about.
Love and Crumble
by
Urbanaut
Baker Anutha Shetty comes in clutch when it comes to “extra-large decadent cookies that are worth indulging in”. Hit her up for salted caramel, dark chocolate or Nutella variants because they sell like hot cakes. If you’d rather take part in the process, get some cookie dough from her to bake at home, or pitch some out-of-the-box ideas at her for personalised goodies.

Bhartiya Jalpan
by
Urbanaut
Fantastic spot for Indian street and comfort food - the chaat (this is difficult to explain and is best understood if one tries it) is superlative. Stock up on sweets and snacks to take home as well.
Lavonne Café
by
Urbanaut
Lavonne in an institution in Bangalore, both for whipping up delectable eats and for training future pastry chefs. The café is managed by the eponymous institute’s students and serves French-style pastries and bakes along with salads, pastas and the usual beverage suspects. We’d recommend starting off with desserts, to shuffle up the order of things — we think you’ll find you’d quite like to stuff yourself with that!

Turahalli Forest
by
Urbanaut
A reserve forest in the suburbs, Turahalli is a local haunt for South Bangaloreans looking to escape the noise and rush of the city without going too far. There are plenty of trails to traverse through on foot or by bike, and quite a few boulders to practice climbing if you’re feeling it. It’s especially great for morning walks, and you’ll get a great view of the city from atop the high points.

Urbanaut
Sat at the foothills of Bangalore’s beloved Nandi Hills is this temple complex that’s at least a thousand years old. It’s a glorious example of Dravidian architecture; the temple complex houses two other temples added on by majestic empires that once ruled over Karnataka. Don’t miss the Shringi Theertha, the sunken temple pond whose surroundings are a feast for the eyes.

Urbanaut
This eco-friendly estate is nestled in the lush environs of everyone’s favourite getaway, Chikmagalur. The homestay is warm and welcoming, whether you’re heading out as a family or going solo. There’s beauty in the slowness of life here — from waking up whenever you want to having a jaunt through the working organic plantations of coffee, pepper, areca and cardamom. You can rent out an entire bungalow with three rooms, private luxury tents or cottages that command great views of the surroundings.
The Bungalow 1934
by
Urbanaut
If the stunning facade of this 100-year-old bungalow doesn’t floor you, wait till you go inside or explore the rest of the property. There’s a wonderful stay amidst the mountains in store for you, with access to private waterfalls and bonfires on cold evenings. We’re wowed by the little details that make this place up, from the traditional Coorgi fare they serve piping hot, to the pops of colour on the interesting wall mural.

Oh, and the wildlife you’ll see — including deer, wild boar and peacocks — make the escape all the more worthwhile. If you can tear yourself away from all that, there’s a lovely pool to soak in.

The Bookworm
by
Urbanaut
The Bookworm is a Bangalorean favourite for new and pre-loved copies of books of nearly every genre under the sun. Dig through the piles to find antique gems such as a 20-year-old copy of The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to The Galaxy or an ornately bound Shakespeare. Owner Krishna Gowda is well-loved for his earnest attitude and readiness to help find any book, even if it means upsetting a few precarious piles of novels. You can also return books bought from The Bookworm to get 50% back in store credit, although we dare say you’ll spend that money on another tome.
