BREAKFAST CLUB, BANGALORE EDITION
Bangalore takes breakfast personally.
Some mornings call for dosa, idli and filter coffee before the city properly wakes up. Others need pancakes, eggs and nowhere to be for the next two hours.
Old-school, new-school and everything in between these are the tables worth getting out of bed for.
ZED THE BAKER
Location: Church Street
For the morning that starts with coffee and accidentally becomes brunch.
Avocado toast, French toast, waffles, eggs Benedict Zed makes a convincing case for ordering one more thing.
THE RAMESHWARAM CAFÉ
Location: Indiranagar
Come hungry. Leave very full.
Pudi idli, dosa, vada and filter coffee make up the kind of South Indian breakfast that needs very little introduction or restraint.
THE HOLE IN THE WALL CAFÉ
Location: Koramangala
Pancakes. Waffles. Eggs. And absolutely no reason to rush.
A Bangalore favourite for big breakfasts and mornings that have every intention of becoming afternoons.
TRUFFLES
Location: St. Marks Road
Some places stay on the breakfast list because everyone has a story about going there.
Truffles keeps things familiar, generous and comforting sometimes that’s exactly what the morning ordered.
ARAKU
Location: Indiranagar
Here, coffee is the plan.
Specialty brews, an in-house roastery, a sensory bar and a bookstore turn the morning coffee run into something worth staying for.
CAFÉ NOIR
Location: Indiranagar
For mornings requiring coffee, pastries and a little Parisian delusion.
French café classics and an unhurried setting make this one for breakfast without a deadline.
PAPER & PIE
Bellandur
Come for coffee. Stay because the conversation got good.
Casual, contemporary and easy-going, Paper & Pie works just as well for a quick breakfast as it does for the catch-up that runs considerably longer than planned.
BRAHMINS’ COFFEE BAR
Location: Basavanagudi
No pancakes. No elaborate brunch ritual. No notes.
Just idli, vada and coffee from one of old Bangalore’s most recognisable breakfast addresses.
Sometimes, breakfast really doesn’t need improving.
THE MORNING EDIT
Bangalore doesn’t have one breakfast personality.
It has the dosa morning. The pancake morning. The serious-coffee morning. And the we’ve-been-sitting-here-for-two-hours morning.
The only real question is, What kind of morning are you having?
