Best for comfort food
First off, if you're claustrophobic, you may wanna consider sitting outside, coz you may feel like a canned sardine inside (ok, maybe that's a lil too much), but otherwise, this place is pretty dandy. It's a very small place, so if you happen to visit when college students or the pretentious "yo crowd" of Bangalore decides to hang out there, parking your bottoms may be an issue.
The menu is classic cafe material- coffees, teas, and beverages, along with burgers, sandwiches, quiches, pastries, etc. The food is good and fresh, and the service is quick. In case you're trying a burger, try the 'Tons of fun burger', which comes with an option of lamb or chicken. It's a big burger, with lamb/chicken, egg, chicken salami, and the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. I just loved the burger, and I have to say I've been on the lookout for a good burger all my life in Bangalore, this place so far I think has the real deal. For those who are satisfied with the crap a McD's or KFC throws at you, then you can go and ... never mind.
The smoothies are sinfully good, but in all honesty, I've never had a bad smoothie thus far, so maybe you can ignore this. This place isn't overly expensive and neither is it cheap, but the food here is most certainly better than the 'food' dished out at most other cafes, like a Casa Picola or CCD. That's right, you heard me, this place serves better food than a Casa Picola. They may not have the variety a Casa Picola offers you, but at least they ensure you quality with what they serve. Definetly worth a visit if you're going down St Marks road.
Also, try to step inside and check out the AC they have. I've never seen an 'upright standing AC', and this thing looks really cool.
